Usually eggs will be fine for 21 days in the incubator. Nature made them able to last that long.

It is almost always shipped eggs of egg that have and the bloom washed off that go bad in the incubator.

Rotten eggs usually ooze and that is dangerous because of the bacteria.

Saturday night for me. I was a smidge early, but only about 12 hours early.

So far, nobody stinking - that I can detect, anyway. Can't see anything through the shells, so I gave up on candling. I hope I get at least one pretty blue marans pullet out of this

I would love to have a dark egg layer. Well, considering my other two pullets aren't laying yet, I would love to have ANY egg layer

Sending lots of

wishes out to everyone

Saturday for me too. And, I am also hoping for one marans egg to make it. Had to throw one out today, no air sac to speak of..as the other had a nice sized one. I have 5 Rhodebars doing well.

My uncle gave me these pjs too: (yes i do look a little cheesy...i was overly excited) lol


My mom made me my birthday cake for today too....a chicken egg!

Because of the hatching occasion, i asked to draw little icing bulls eyes on the candy eggs....my mom said no but soon let me! Lol! How good do they look? Haha



Everyone have an awesome Christmas!

So, not quite sure, is your birthday today? On Christmas day? You are so cute with your chicken...umm..thingy on. And, it looks like you scored with the chicken gifts. And that cake is darling.

The Brinsea has an adapter with a small opening for quail eggs. I imagine a short length of 5/8s hose might work with a flashlight.

I have a couple of marans eggs with air sacks that I can't see. Does this mean they aren't viable?

how about a short piece of water line insulation? You know the black tubes that you put around water lines and hoses to keep them from freezing.
