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

[kaybee123]

You will be pushing the limit if they hatch that early and you leave them in an incubator at 100f for over 72 hours but on the other hand can your mom handle it? I would give them to her if I could.

She can handle everything except if they need assistance. :-/. I had to assist my seramas before and I've read they are more likely to need assistance. Hmmmmm . . . I'll have to do some pondering.

Lol. I've all of a sudden had a vision of me pulled over on the side of the road assisting with a hatch. Sort of like a prego lady delivering before making it to the hospital!!!! It's a 12 hour trip.

I agree, let mom handle it! And if she keeps hands off they shouldn't need too much assisting! LMBO!!

I took my first Filipino chicken hatch on a 3 hour road trip.

I used an inverter from Harbor Freight. It worked like a charm. I had about 90 eggs on turners in the Honabators in the trunk.

The air cells seem to have really dried out this time. This is the most amount of air cell space in eggs I have ever had on a hatch. I also stopped turning on Day 16. I seem to have malpositioned eggs with them being upside down so I'm going to see if that helps with hatching in egg cartons. I put the lowest air cell point facing out so I can keep an eye on their external pips. I really hope these hatch well. I really want some quality SLW to add to my flock and after Sally's eggs hatch the bator is being stored so no more chances this year if they don't hatch.

Sally, I finally felt comfortable to move your eggs to the other bator with a steady 102 with a humidity of 32%. I should look for serama to hatch as early as Day 19? I was reading up on the WFBS crosses and since the white face is a recessive gene, it's not supposed to be expressed in any off spring but might get some white or whitish lobes. I contacted some BYCers by PM who I had seen posts where they crossed with Ameraucana and Polish. None had pics but they told me what was expressed in the hatches of crosses they had. I especially can't wait to see the Polish cross hatch. And, of course, I'd like to have some beautiful seramas!!!! Are these eggs the regualr serama or frizzle or some of both?

Do you think this is male or female below? It carries itself so stately!!!!

Looks like a female
to me
