Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[kelly77]

I need everyone's advice. I'm planning on starting a new incubation next week (using the amazing new incubator that Mrs. Sally and Silver sent me-- thank y'all so much!!) and I want to know what I should try to hatch? I could hatch some more chickens, or I was thinking about some ducks or quail? And I was thinking about maybe adding some shipped eggs into my batch? Does anyone have any advice on what I should hatch, or any fertile eggs I could buy to hatch?

I wanted to do Quail but someone told me they cannot be with chickens...they get sick easy. They need a super clean area reason being why they also need to be caged...? NOt sure if theis is true however. But that is super nice of Sally n Silver! Ya'll are such great people!

I'm guessing she's a white leghorn

and oh no that's not a good thing for a cat to do.. My cat does that to all my chicks, but it's the dogs I really gotta watch out for o.o I've lost 3 ducklings an almost a chicken due to dogs

Freaky.

OOOOH I might hatch with you!! I might even get my eggs today! I say try the shipped eggs- The breeds could be interesting! Also try some local non- shipped eggs in case the shipped ones were to not hatch.

I am going to show the neighbor who gave me the eggs to hatch a video of Hope- He doesn't even know that I hatched one yet, and it's been two weeks! I hope he'll give me a few more eggs! Hope needs a buddy! At least one new friend!!!

Hang on, I still need an incubator and half the country hasn't realised the holidays are over. We are planning a little trip to the city on Friday though... I'll see if I can find a shop there that sells incubators and the rest. And I still need to organise some eggs...

I've actually heard of this. It's a little worrying if you ask me! They don't seem to be as bad as the crested ducks though. Sally, don't suppose you saw that thread Kevin did on crested ducks?
