Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[CasieD]

here is yesterdays hatch, if you can guess the breeds I just might send them to you to pay off some egg swaps.





I know I'm cruel. I see 6 different breeds. Have fun.

CCL, SFH, White Bresse, Choc Orp, Rhodebar, and OD...

I'm trying to make a window for NPIP testing, so I have to have all my birds at 16 weeks or better for that. That means I can take ready-to-mail-now eggs, or eggs for late summer/early fall, but nothing in between. And I'm TRYING to be good and stick to my list. It's hard, with all you enablers!

Well, we lost power.  but the 'bator only got down to 85 before we woke up and noticed the power was off.  DH got the generator running and informed me we have close to 50 gal of gas!!! 
but some of the eggs were supposed to go into lockdown this morning.  is it going to be really bad for the ones that aren't if I up the humididty for the lockdown ones and continue only running one 'bator?  not sure I have a choice, actually.  unless I try out the non-broody chicken forced into sitting on eggs in a too small box thing.

If they are just going in LD today, I would just leave it be. I usually see pips on day 19. If you
see any pipping, then it still would probably be safe to increase the humidity for a short while

Ok. Ameruacana question. I always assumed a black pea comb meant an EE... Is that correct? After googling, I can't confirm it... I just thought a true Am had to have red pea comb

Ameracauna would not have black skin or combs...white skin, red ear lobes, slate legs

Ok. That's what I thought. Thanks
