Getting the flock out of here - a diary of a crazy chicken man

[scottcaddy]

I must be the only real chicken man here - I spotted them as eggs instantly

MY Dear, when I first looked at this box, I seen fire-works with fuses pointing all over the place.

With love packed in da-boot!
Glad to see that it's just well packed eggs after all!!

Normally we hatch in eight of those pink baskets and they can hold about 24 eggs each.

We have so many viable eggs this trip that the display case bator is not big enough.

I made another bator a while back that was meant to hold 3 hovabator turners. For setting eggs its an issue because the thermostat is an stc-1000 look alike that has a ten second delay bedore it kicks in. egg temps end up at 98.5 - causing a delayed hatch and fubky feet.

This will be ok for the final 36 hours to hatch in as the chicks can cope at that time.

the breeds with the larger egg numbers can go in there. As it will be a hatcher a 24x12x3/16 piece of plexiglass will be put in the door so the hatch can be viewed.

Problem solved

Question:
When your hatch rate improved did the time between first pip and very last zip decrease?
