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

Mmm... They look tasty.

Hands off!

If they hatch they are like a week old normal chick. When I take them out of the incubator tomorrow, I will take a class picture for you.

I don't open my incubator for nothing until the hatch is over, I would rater let a chick die in the first 24-48 than open it to save 1 and lose 4 in the shell due to humidity drop. It is running 75% right now, but that is not bad after the first egg hatches it always rises.

They are tasty. Roasted or smoked. so juicy and flavorful....The only thing wrong with them is they are so friendly and trusting.


I wish meat birds would be jerks so it was all easier to do.

You would not like to know what I think about those primitive uneducated dangerous actions.

I hope at least you have on a sterile gown. mask and gloves when you open the door.
