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

[Fire Ant Farm]

Read hatching 101. It says to always turn the eggs an odd number. ??? What does that mean?

You should turn them an odd number of times during the day (minimum of 3, or more like 5, 7, etc.) The reason for an odd number is that the eggs will usually sit longer overnight, and that way they sit longer on an opposite side each night.

That does not apply to dux eggs..

They should be floated in ice water twice every 24 hours for at least 12 hours each......

It means just that- Always turn an odd number of times per day.

Hey, guys, I made an olive oil lamp!

Cool. What does the wick float on?

 

[The Duck Ladie]

Do they have to be turned with the same time space between them? like every 3 hours between each turn? Or can you turn them at different times?

 

[The Duck Ladie]

and do you have to turn them the same amount each day? my schedule have different hours taken on different days...
