There may be a few going in this afternoon.

The first one that had just is a maniac. The kids told me it's running around in hopping over eggs.

yep they do that when they are up dry and about. I assume you read its good to keep them in to help the others hatch, but dont go more than 24 like some people do. your having a quick hatch, you can have them grab a bunch this after noon probably. just leave a wet one or two in to help the remaining.

How you gone name it?


Good morning Benny

Never name something you may have to eat.

Newfie, I am sure there will not be much school work going on today.


You have some option: you can call it Stew, Nugget, KF, Schnitzel, and so on!


x2. We had a FBCM that was General Tso. She was a crazy thing, but a good broody. Lost her and 75% of her second clutch to the coon last August. :hit
 
[@=/u/162672/Sally-Sunshine]@Sally Sunshine[/@] yes! That was maybe it! Was that the same thing you linked me? Am I crazy? :hide



yes it was, no problem campin!  I figured you missed it!  promise when I get time I will work through the abstracts and studies and try to explain things easier and actually write an article or just post and link to it.   That was a ton of info, and those can get confusing and if you dont have subscriptions to the pages you cant read them in full anyways. I have membership to a few because of being part of the Pa Ag division and also because I am a poultry tech.  You will have to research your breed and try to figure out what the standard egg weights are for your specific breed you wish to incubate.  That can be done online searching for the breed associations as well as reading through forums.  Not sure a bunch of info is to be found on your breed, but you can at least reach out and send an email to someone on the breed assoc. typically they list emails you can use.  @campingshaws


Lagertha's eggs are 38-40g and standard for honas is 45-50g. So the 40 are pretty close to the low of average.

Did you see my question about ethics? That's what I'm really anxious over. :/


Size of the egg laid by a hen is determined by genetics and nutrition. My opinion on hatching from Pullet eggs is you don't know what size eggs a Pullet will lay when she matures. If you hatch pullets from eggs from a hen that lays a small egg size for that breed, she is probably not going to produce the proper sized egg either.

Did that make sense?
