A little worried

[Ted_Harrell]

I have had my incubators in my building since January, last week it got to over 100 degrees in there. My still air incubator registered over 105 degrees. I was worried to death that they might not hatch. I quickly moved it into the house where it is thankfully a lot cooler. My wife just called and said I have external pips. While I am not out of the woods by any means I am less worried. They are a couple of days early which means they may have some issues with their development, maybe not. We will see.

You're very lucky! How long was it that hot? Congrats on your pips!

The roo in my avatar pic over barred rock or a grey base color Swedish flower hen should be the only way to get grey. Should be interesting..
