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

[BantyChooks]

I would agree, they have a place and are needed in this world. I apologize for not exempting Eileen, we all know she is perfect...I also have decades of checking out the female defects....

And a near permanent bruise on the right side of my head and shoulder from said "checking the defects out". It seems the WWD is not fond of defect checking.

The WWD should have hit you a bit harder....

Really? Jace got 100% two times in a row. 5-8 eggs both times.




Smashing idea.


True, it's more sanitary and easier to apply.

How did you help "Jace"? Did you let her pick the spot for the nest? Did she hide it where a predator could get at it?

8 eggs hatching 2 times is not a great goal. She needs more tries and more eggs to compete with my incubators......You VWN'ers just like to confuse the arguments.....

Shouldn't you already be committed, rental owner or not?

Maybe,,BUT we really should have a thread.."Landlord Blues"...The stories I have of renter behavior is amazing..... and sad...

One of the best being the guy that cut the pine tree out of the front yard to use as a Xmas tree.

You've obviously not trained her properly, or need to move out of range

7's okay to candle at, really.... I candle earlier because it's awful fun to see 'em grow and wiggle.

Wiggle is a no go for you? :>
I will candle them most likely tomorrow, I just wanted to check about removing all eggs at once from the incubator.
THANK YOU!

 

[Christinecam]

Yes, that should be fine.

Thanks!

WOW.

That could be an interesting thread.

This normally occurs when she is riding in the car or truck. I need to get a "cage" and make her ride in the back seat or in the truck box.

I just open the door and check them and put them into the hatching tray or garbage.... It is so simple...and a little cool down never hurts them.

She chose behind the feed box. You really think I was gonna let my darlin' Jace go put herself in danger outside?

You said your broodies never get 100%... Twice is more than never, or did you skip maths in school?
