I had to quickly scan over the previous posts but wanted to say about 3 years ago I lost power for 3 days in May. The incubator was full of eggs from 2 days old to 2 weeks. I did get a generator but if I remember right the eggs were not cooking for at least a full day and a half if not two. I don't recall exactly what the hatch rate was but I do remember it was a very good one and if I remember right they hatched like two days late.
On another subject, I called the # from the CL ad where they were misrepresenting their eggs by using Clover Leaf's picture. Y'all might like to know a couple of things. First, it was not a "she" but a "he". His name is Jeremy Smith. And second, he was very nice and very apologetic. He told me that he had really gotten "harrassed", got like 15 emails and text messages, and didn't know it was such a big deal. I explained to him why it was and that with the internet today he needs to understand that it's a very small world and word travels very fast. I told him for one there's a lot of misinformation out there about Ameraucanas and those of us who have them want people to be able to have the truth and not be misled and secondly using someone else's pictures without their permission just isn't the right thing to do. He agreed and again was very apologetic.
So, I thought y'all should know that because your efforts worked! The power of people standing up, making their voices heard, and not just looking the other way actually works! Truth matters and speaking up for it works. Obviously, folks need to be confronted in the proper way but they need to be confronted and wrongs need to be righted. I only wish we could see this on a much larger and national scale.
Bravo Zulu to those who let their voices be heard!
God Bless,
