Wow. I see you have frizzles! I want some so bad, but I don't know in what pen to keep them... Silkie pen, or polish pen?

I just set 31 blue & splash Ameraucana, 30 EEs (Cuckoo Marans/Ameraucana x Ameraucana) and 3 frizzle bantam cochins. I kinda stacked my bator full

I also have a broody EE sitting on 6 Ameraucana eggs.

I'm in . I was planning on being done hathcing, but was able to get some red golden pheasants, and a co worker finaly had his wheaten/blue wheaten americauna's ready, so filled up.

left to right row of wellies, row of barnevelder topped by a blue copper splash maran, row of wellies, black copper, blue wheaten am.Blue copper,next 2 row BCM, wheaten maran, bw amm., blue copper. last row, 3 wellies(Grisham Line) Black coppers

5 wellies and red golden pheasants. I am pretty excited about the wheatens and bwamm. These were eggs from birds hatched form eggs purchased from PasoFino farms by a coworker last year or year before. I have tried to hatch bwa twice this spring to no avail, and with the price they have been of late, have passed on them. I am not to wild about tying to hatch 300.00 eggs

Does the turner still work that way?

Count me in also. I set some duck eggs last Friday in my old Hovabator. So on Good Friday I finished stuffing it with chicken eggs. I will need to do a count and take a picture tomorrow.

Nice eggs kfs59 some real dark ones in there are the darkest ones BCM or welsumers. And I don't see how that turner can work overloaded like that lol hope you got it figured out .

Providing my hatch goes well they will be in the silkie pen )

I am curious about the turners too. Will they still turn if you double stack them? Will it burn the motor out?

Also i am doing a staggered hatch. I have a LG still air and the automatic turner. Is it possible to remove a couple of rows of eggs from the turner... ..... as in pop them out were a few rows of eggs can turn and the ones on lockdown can like on the mesh?

I am new to this and haven't quite figured out how to do the staggered ones yet.

A friend at work said that she never turns her turner off for lockdown. Has anyone else tried this?

 

[CCourson05]

If you don't turn the turner off, then chicks might get stuck between the rows and get squished.

 

[hennypenny99]

Oh, I didnt think about that. I certainly don't want squished chicks. I am going to turn it off and hope for the best. The others will be not too far behind so I am hoping the not turning won't hurt them.
