Thanks, Ron. Here's the presale thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/845172/2014-stockton-ca-pre-sale

Yes there will be chickens for sale there.

There is a pre sales thread somewhere.

@juststruttin posted the link.

Here it is again. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/845172/2014-stockton-ca-pre-sale

If you don't see what you want on the pre-sale forum there will be plenty of chickens in the sale cages, and some of the show birds will also be offered for sale after the show for pickup on Sunday.

The line might be a Blood line. That is a dead egg. Watch it though.

The top and bottom need to average 99.5 for a still air. 101.5 at the top and 99 on the bottom would work. Did I give you the Chooks Chicks guide to still air incubation link?

A blood line sounds right. I didn't even see a yoke. Should I remove it?

You did. I have three thermometers in there but on the turner in three different places. I don't have them in a top mid low position. I'm not really sure how to get them to stay.

Thank you, juststruttin. I was wondering what to expect at the sale there - you've answered my question.

At 7 days, they can sometimes look like a blood ring and then resolve into normal veining. I do not remove them until day 14 unless they start smelling or oozing.

You are doing very well and seeing good development on schedule on day 7 is an indication that the temperatures are fine in your incubator.

Thanks Ron! Breath and wait another 7 days

I do have to say seeing the little baby in there moving was AMAZING! I couldn't believe it. I've been reading a lot on their development... I actually started talking the the little bean lol

I am thinking of adding another R-com
My bator is full and I am looking at some tempting crele and black penedesenca eggs and
my silver Ameraucana and Crele Penedesenca have been together 3 weeks now I think was thinking of doing a test hatch to see what comes out.

It might be time for a cabinet incubator. Dickey, GQF or Brinsea. You can hatch in the R-com.

LOL - just left the brooder room after doing exactly that - chirping at the pipping eggs in the bator! I have calico crele polish hatching - can't wait to see their puffball heads pop out!
