Ralphie how do you disinfect your eggs? I'm sure you've told others before but I am trying new things here to improve my hatch rate. I had a ton of late hatchers which is rare with seramas. Had to cull one to deformity and 2 died. the rest seem healthy-have not even counted but around 15-20 I think between the 2 bators and the broody. I believe I have 5 sebastopol eggs too. Might have to set those but time it so Bill doesn't have to do anything when I'm in Lima.

Part of my problem is me. I set late in the day on Thursday thinking I will get Thursday evening/night hatches so the chicks are a day old on Saturday when I get rid of the majority of them.

Now Disinfecting. I use 120 degree water out of the faucet. I have on a on demand hot water system so I can set the temps to whatever I want. I use 2 5 quart ice cream pails filled with 1 gallon of 120 degree water. I add 1 ounce 1/4 cup of bleach to the water.

I rinse the eggs in running water, getting off the visible dirt without rubbing hard to push it into the egg. Then I dip in the first pail and wipe with a different rag while under running water. Then it goes into the second dip, a quick rinse in running water and I mean quick then into a drying rack.

That is how the USDA Vet that inspects me wants it done, and I do what she says.
