It was out for over an hour i candled and they looked the same and they started wiggling yesterday but one of them hasn't wiggled for a while

since the power went. Just have to wait and see i guess thanks for the reply i feel a bit better

Embryos can survive a lot, don't worry about them. Yours should be just fine.

I once had an 18 day old embryo survive at room temperature for 3 days!

Ugg.. Mom finally went down to the barn and counted my birds. There are 62. I tried to explain chicken math, but it didn't work out so well, haha. So I have to sell some of them to bring the number down to 30 and I just sold the pigeons.

Good Bye my pretty little birds.

Lol chicken math? Haha

Add all your chickens minus roosters minus non laying pullets minus chicks minus any grow outs minus 10% loss due to future predators or illness minus any you have for sale minus those you are thinking about selling minus any selected for freezer camp then calculate how many you have left. Calculate the average number of eggs those chickens give you, reduce the subtotal by the fraction.Thats REALLY how many chickens you have!! You can further reduce by 40-60% if you have bantams.

Chicken math is a way to justify getting more birds. Above is Oz's explanation.
