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

[gracie02]

This looks like my WFS just all black, how weird! and booooo OZ!

I have a rescue roo that is black w/ copper cape, really long tail feathers until someone pulled them out...and the weirdest mottled black and red comb and black eyes. He is smallish. Anyone have any idea what he might be?

then its back to local mutts each week till i get back there at the end of August,

Can you throw up a pic of him on here?

I woke up to 104 and 38%, but I opened bator for a second to cool it down. It went to 102 and 36% immediately so it must not have been at 104 for long or else it would take longer to go down. For some reason I can get it to 100 or 104 but it's hard to keep the bator at 102. I candled last night and had movement in all 9 EEs and the 7 SLW. I started with 13 EEs and 11 SLW shipped from CA to FL and I'm happy with that development. The air cells are very wonky! I'll candle again tonight to mark them and post some pics. I really want some of the SLW to hatch!!!!

Thank you everyone for your help!!!

Afternoon report on my bator is 102 and 37%. I lower the temp in my house too so that might help with humidity.

Sally!!!!! The eggs arrived safely. So the smaller tan ones are the serama (I think there were 11 of them?)? Then the beautiful green one's were WFBSxAm and the bigger whites were the WFBSxPolish? Just making sure I have this down correctly! Have you hatched any of the crosses yet? Is there photos somewhere or info on these crosses? Just curious. Thank you so much!

With a forced air bator, should I be moving eggs around? I was planning to rearrange them some when I candle them on day 7. Should I be moving them routinely?
