1. Depends on the size of your incubator etc. I used a 100W bulb.
2. 99* to 101* Are you going still air or forced air? (with a fan)
3. What exhaust? You'll need air vents which should be open all the time. The embryos need fresh air. They (the eggs) breathe.
4. Look for the little "donut" on the yolk when you crack the eggs.

Zara:

I am coming to the Philippines twice in the next month. I am overloaded with baggage at Christmas but I will have space in mid Jan - I will also be in Manila for a few days that trip.

If you need some things to get your incubator going - I will bring them, You may need a step down transformer there - remember everything in USA is 110.

You need:

or

Heat Source
A 75 watt incandescent bulb will do in a cooler bator.
Fan

Before you order Orpington or Wyandotte eggs shipped from USA - practice hatching on local fertile eggs.

Hi

I may have found some blue laced red wyandotte eggs to bring over to the Phils for myself.

They were not cheap so I could only order 8.

If I can get them into the country, If I can get them to hatch, If I get a rooster and hens, then I should have chicks to sell to you by August or september.

I wont be bringing over Orpingtons until May - so they wont be laying till Feb 2014,

I should have Barred Plymouth Rocks and Australorps by August also.

Keep in touch
