Pumpkin Hulseys are a gorgeous and rare game bird - Look up Pumpkin Hulsey, and you'll find images and a feathersite article for them.
So far my Marans, Jersey Giants, and some of my Ameraucanas are doing well. The rest, however, probably aren't. I tried buying a fan for my Little Giant, but guess what? I DOESN'T WORK!!! I am really upset, because I spent WAY too much time allowing the eggs to cool while fiddling with it and trying to make it work. In the end I spend $49 for nothing.
SOO. . . If any eggs in the Little Giant survive and develop by day 7-10, and if I find any quitters in the Hovabator - I'm moving them and replacing the quitters.
I'm tired of my Little Giant. Even with close supervision I got a 0% hatch rate on the second try. There were 4 eggs that developed, but on hatch day and even before that - There was no sign of activity or life. I cracked them open, and found dead, underdeveloped chicks.
Atleast they were from my own chickens, and not paid for eggs.
