Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

[Sahwithchicks]

Nicole,
Once I get my BBS and lav ameraucanas separated, which hopefully I can do that Friday, give a cpl weeks and you are more than welcome to have some eggs to hatch.

That sounds great. We can add it to our list of things we need to meet up for

ok DMRippy

9 fluffy big fat yellow bearded and muffed chicks with black polka dots are in the brooder under the ecoglow. i had a few quitters and one lone egg that has chirping, no pipping here on day 22. i would post a pic but some lovely fireman gave me a laptop for hanukkah last night and i have no clue what i am doing.

i think they have to be the cutest chicks i have ever hatched. i just can't get over the chubby factor. i just wanna squeeze them, but that would be bad.

Do you like the ecoglow?? I have been wondering if I should invest in a couple....

when first hatched about 50. As the grow the numbers go down but most start hanging out at the edges.

I have 2 of the ecoglow 20. I like them for brooder use inside, but if you are brooding where it is colder, mine do not always keep up. I also lost some of mine when one of the eco glows quit warming, but the light stayed on (I assumed that it was working). By colder, I mean my garage when it is in the 40s (garage temp).

Mine only worked for about a month.

if you're hatching DMRippy's SBELs, about 9 because they are sooooooooooo fat!!!!!!

i have the ecoglow20 which is supposed to hold about 20 chicks under there after hatch. it's about right for LF, more for bantams like silkies. i really do like it, i don't worry about a heatlamp burning down my house and since the hubby is a firefighter burning down the house would really be a problem. it's flaw is that it doesn't keep them warm enough outside in the winter, even here in phoenix if it falls below 50 or so. perfect for early spring or brooding in the garage, which is what i usually do. winter time, i still need heatlamps outside for chicks but usually just the silkies. course, it could rain in the summer here and i could lose a silkie. go figure.
