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

[loveourbirds]

I put 32 eggs in the fridge instead of in a bator and I have an empty one. woohoo

traitor !!! now all of our wives are gonna want us to stop hatching

ive had to slow down too, my cages and brooders are full, only about 100 eggs left in the incubators; 28 dozen that could go in and its driving me nuts

. I've given several eggs to neighbors and friends for hatching, they are all bantam and to small to sell.

Was wondering where you guys store your hatching eggs and how long you store them?

i don't store mine the greatest, but i always have pretty good hatches. i keep them in the building where my incubators are, and i turn them when i feed and water. to turn them i just prop one carton against another and switch directions.

i usually don't hold anything over a week. i wont put anything over 2 weeks in my incubator.

Kk thanks me to in my front room I have both the round galvinized bator and the redwood bator and my storage tub brooder and my aquerium brooder not to mention all the misc stuff I use the entertainment center as my hatching station

Quote: I had to go out and buy materials today to build more pens. Tomorrow Im starting on two more grow out pens. Sigh.
I just keep my eggs in the nests until I decide to do something with them. I think its to hot to keep them like that though. I just candled 42 eggs and only 12 were good. Im not upset though.

Go you!!

I've had an empty bator for 2 weeks now. I was done hatching for the year, but then I had a moment of weakness. I have 25+ button quail eggs, and 6 Maran eggs that should be here Monday or Tuesday. I know nothing about quail.... I'm not even sure I need quail... What do you do with Button Quail anyway?

just put 8 turkey and duck eggs in the hatcher basket. tossed 40 :/ some duds some quitters. moving in 3 weeks +/- so i prolly wont set any more in the bator till im moved. no chicks of any sort from any of the broodys yet. If i cant wind down i may take the mag out and candle some. Starting to wonder if the bedding may be heating the eggs too hot. ive got a probe thermometer thats my backup on the ultrabator. might snatch that and put it under the hens and see whats up.
