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

I just can't right now. TOO MANY breeds going on right now. LOL. Breeding season next year is going to be a chore.

Going to need 7 bators.

Or a really giant one like Oz posted.

I love her page. She has lots of nice birds and good prices, but I plan on taking a break from hatching once these next 2 batches hatch.

By the way, I just found Sally on Facebook.

Can't wait to see your goslings! Facebook and pinterest take the same amount of my time as BYC...internet addictions. Could be worse right!?

Addressing hot and cold spots in your Hovabator type incubators:

This is brilliant and not mine, got this tip on another forum: Just turn the top (cover) periodically instead of shifting eggs around.!!
Amazingly simple

.....talk about feeling dumber than I am LOL!!

If you simply turned the cover, some eggs would still remain in the middle (away from the heating element) while others would always be on the edge or directly under it. So the hot/cold spots would remain, right?

I've never had trouble with hot/cold spots in my hova-bator though so I never had to do this.

Hey Sally glad you are back.......

Thanks everyone. I ordered 24 eggs from My Pet Chicken over a month ago. They hopefully ship this week, should I cancel it until I figure out if it was local or not? I don't want to lose anymore

I wouldn't buy those eggs either. Eggs from a hatchery are sometimes 7 days old when they collect. Like Sally said find a breeder locally.

Wanted to share, here are my two d'Uccle's who decided to share a clutch. So now I know my splash is throwing solid black d'uccles YAY

oh WOW Mich! YAY!!!! beautiful girls!! I almost missed the pipssqueaks looking at the hens! LMAO! Wondering why I just sold all four of my babies!!!!!

Thank I have babies for sale LOL

p.s. Ms Steak i still love your name lol

Me too that was dinner.

you know what Mich I just realized that plastic dish is the same as I use for my older chicks ONLY since I found THREE younger babies underneath it one time right under the stupid heat lamp! Thank goodness they were ok! I cant tell you how often they roll dishes over on themselves! I put a rock in one because its all I had. with FF dishes can be such a pain! because you have to clean them daily and you want to switch out dishes and then clean up all at once! I now use those cat dishes..... let me find a pic of the cheap 2 buck double dish.... walmart special lol NOTE the high center on top? that prevents it to lay flat IF it gets tipped over! and the wide base is awesome. I put sand/grit in one side and feed in the other

Thanks Sally i do believe i have something like that.
