Looks duckish, try candling, they are very opaque and have a waxy residue on the shell
Looks malpo from what I can see, were they shipped?
thats a chicken egg ralphie
So tragic
at least you have a spare
you need an excuse to have beer and ice cream for dinner?
Peck them back!
Why do we not get new pics?

Woohoo!!
Yep but it is commonly referred to as zip/zipping
do you not remember the rum and fruit cake?


BTW - Kristin, you have my address now
and that was pretty awesome!

I did forget, but that is different. To drink warm beer, you need to be a pretty serious drinker!

Good morning, and Thank you 
Betting you'll not be going out in shorts for a while yet.

Ummm. My neighbor was lucky I put on a T-shirt when I went out at six in the morning.

Question:

Do I fall under the catagory of "Canada Chicks"?

If you want to. Don't fall too hard!

Not gonna slaughter AC's .... Don't think I could get past the Black meat.

Whites..... Here's the stuff I was taking about. ... Crappie here prefer it to live bait.
When I was fishing last year all I could catch was bluegills on live bait.
Switched to these.... And all l caught was crappie one after another.

We use Gulp all the time, just not the hellgramites. I'll have to give them a try if I can find them. We use the small minnows; chartreuse or natural.

Spellcheck tried to change hellgramites to holograms

Good morning Abi. How far along are the broodies

Hi all, can anyone advise me what to do on a couple of things - I've not hatched anything in 14 years and things seemed more simple then lol. I have two that have hatched one 18 hours ago and the other 11 hours ago. Both are still in the incubator - I have 5 pipped eggs - should I move the chicks to the brooder? Also one of my eggs has pipped on the underside of the egg and two have pipped at the pointy end - do i need to intervene or just let nature take its course? Hope someone can help

Does it look like this?

Good morning Abi. How far along are the broodies

Chicken is day 11. Turkey w/duck eggs is day ten.

I'm on day 18 here and have a quick question that is melting my brain. I'm using a Brinsea Maxi II and the paperwork it comes with says that the default settings for chicken eggs have it stopping turning 2 days before hatch. To me, that seems like a lockdown at day 19. We had a power failure last hatch and the settings had gotten messed up, so I ended up manually configuring it for the hatch.

In y'all's opinion, should I stop the turn since it's legitimately day 18 here as of one hour ago, or let the Brinsea settings ride?
