101.5 degrees for Still Air incubators.

Sit on those hands, they do it on their own!

Mine hatch fine at that humidity in cartons. Let them be! Go clean house or something if you can't stand waiting. It's a very slllllloooooooooooowwwwww process sometimes.

I can't deal with this anymore. Loading up the baby and going to town.

Sorry my phone is acting up and I can't quote.
For the thomas Keller recipe I use whatever vegetables I have on hand. I like beet so I use it a lot.

Quote: It doesn't look like a significant amount of blood so as long as there isn't more showing up later I wouldn't worry too much. I don't think any of us would be able to tell you where it came from since we can't see everything there. It could have been a cut on the foot, but you will have to check them. It could be that a mouse made the mistake of running thru the yard and they went after it and made it bleed. As long as you checked under the feathers as closely as you could and don't see any wounds I'm not sure what else you could do. the only time I have had blood in my coup was when one of the older hens was putting a younger bird in it's place and tor it's comb. Man...those suckers really bleed!

That would be ideal. That way you could give them a better idea of waht to expect. But even the hatchery EE often lay plain old brown eggs..

If the mother lays blue eggs and is CL or CL mix and the father is my Pita Pinta Zoro (PPs lay brown eggs), shouldn't the females lay green eggs? Is that right?

Hopefully it had resolved itself. Just keep an eye on everyone and make sure no one is looking injured over the next few days. I don't know if chickens do it but my finches are great at hiding stuff until it's too late to help them. I think in the avian world any sign of weakness is a death sentence since they would become a prime target for predators.
