EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[ChickenCanoe]

After a much colder than normal spring, it was 85 two days ago and 80 yesterday. Tomorrow night will be below 30F. I think that will be the latest killing frost for this area in my lifetime. The apricots are farthest along. I hope they make it.



I just placed my first ever ad on BYC.

Anybody out there still hatch under a broody anymore? I stuck 6 potentially fertile eggs under a broody a few weeks ago & I'm having trouble finding info on what to do if they accually hatch. So far everything I've found is incubator related or dealing with assisting. Does anybody know of a broody 101 link???

I used to go to this thread when I had questions. I've had many broody hens now but if I had any issues I would ask there.

Good luck with your hatch! I have eggs under a broody right now too, due to hatch on the 25th. Post pics when yours hatch.

Turning out to be a great day. Getting things done in garden etc. just in for break. Need to get incubator cleaned up for Tuesday.

Nice I like them and the egg color.

I had enough sunlight after Duckling left to work on the run. Unfortunately, the 12’ wall fell on me the wrong way. The pain subsided enough to get an uncovered 4’ fence up with T-posts. It’s a mess out there, but I can’t do anything else.
I literally don’t know how to do this stuff alone.

Ouch. If I remember right it fell on you a few years back. Picture of what you’re trying to do?

It might have.
I wish I could show pictures of what I want to do. It’s simple enough... I think.
