Anyone setting eggs starting July 15 -July 22?

Oh forgot doesnt the temp in the brooder have to be 99.5 for the first week? I have sort of forgotten.

Now I can't remember. It was either 100 or 95.

I have a third chick!!! They are all snuggling up next to momma on the hard to see side. Of course.

i got 3 boxes today. One was all smelly. The box itself was not busted... I Was a little disappointed when I opened it To find some stuffing and a handful of shredded paper. The eggs were wrapped. but left to bounce Around In The filler. The filler was not packed tight. Tell me if you have had eggs make it With This set up... This Is my first out of ALL the Eggs I have received to look like this.



only 5 eggs out of were not broken...


only a handful


this Was on top and had yolk stuck...AND ANTS...

I paid twentyfour dollars for the shipping .. it was in The medium Shipping box...not The large...

95* week one
90 week two
85 week three
80 or higher until feathered out (about now).

That would be instant negative feedback from me. That is just horrible.

Send this pics to your shipper. Tell them you desearve a new box, as their packaging was terrable. They knew they were eggs. Only very poor shippers dont pack eggs very well, with so much stuff so tight between them that nobody could possible shift, and with lots of stryofoam on the outside edges. This is complete crap, and you should not have to bite it. Go now, and tell them you will give them negative feedback, if they don't make this right. There is no excuse for this.

Ok baby will br in with other eggs due in2 days and 3. When is best to get her out.?Right now without a friend i thunk she would get coldbut the longer i wait the closer to hatch day for the other eggs.Tomorrow will be day 20 for another group.I am assuming they shrink wrap easier if they are pipped than not so Lay some knowledge on me?When should she come out?

I took my first one out when he was dry and fluffy (probably about 14 hours?) even though I was in lockdown too. It only took a second and my temp/RH did not change. He was fine in the brooder by himself until the next chick arrived.

Iam getting discouraged about these other 7 eggs!

Not one thing going on. 4 i had i n the genesis and dont mean to keep talking about it but the temps and humidity were perfect all 21 days,so 3 more at least should hatch or 1 anyway !Dang shipping

if there is a problem.the next hatches i had them put a cool pak in see if that does any good at all to hatch better.Will see.

I HAVE A CHICK! I will try and post pics in a few but it is soooo hard to see her on the screen! She matches the sawdust perfectly.

. Must be from the leghorn mamma.

Congrats!!

well, the little chick died this morning and the last remaining egg has zipped but is just hanging out in his shell. looks very big.... so possibly 2 of 12 hatches...I do have higher hopes for the 40 eggs in the bator now , some will go on lockdown the 15th... They are ameraucanas and they are really moving in the egg when I candled them the other day... Everyone keep posting and I will keep trying....

So sorry to hear. You feel so helpless because you don't know how to make it better.
