I've got my fingers crossed for Megan! Is she using Senjii? (spelling)

I got a PM from someone else that was having fertility issues right now.

She is using an un related line and one of the Skyline Roos I hatched named Chema. Chema was my number 2 pick but was probably the better Rooster. Seiji was my buddy! Chema is going to a farm in Winters to establish a flock there.

What I noticed on my hatch with the Brinsea that has that thing in the middle that the humidity pump drops water into, the chicks go back to the shell they hatched from. Even if they found their way around the divider, they always worked their way back to their shell. Has anyone else noticed that?

That is so funny! My family thinks I am a kook now for laughing so hard!

Muah ha ha ha... your welcome The Hubs and I just "forced" his grandma to watch Chicken Run with us last night. The second you said that a nice rooster would put an end to hen drama, I thought of Fowler!

I'm still using a still air LG so I'm not familiar with the Brinsea. My chicks were all over the place, mine didn't concentrate on their own shell, they were pecking at anything and sleeping in the egg carton that I had the eggs in for hatching.

Well, I'm not sure they<I> always </i>return to their own shells, because I've seen shell-squatters a few times which "belong" to shells a couple of cups away but YES they do manage to maneuver around the humidifying strip over a period of time.

It's pretty cute.

Megan sent me a PM today..She has 19 Pita Pinta and 19 Marraduna Basque set in her incubator! If they are fertile, she will start selling hatching eggs.

oh, those Pitas! *must start expanding coop pronto...*

(and say hello to Megan from me! i think we were both starting out with our chickens around the same time last year...)
