We stopped by the big incubator a few times. I hope you got a decent hatch.
How do they tell which eggs came from which farm? or do you just get a sampling of chicks returned? I saw some cute bantams & some with domed heads - like Polish maybe. I was also surprised to see some quail running around. Of course, I'm probably just more excited about the home-made incubator made from a store display case!!! I've been admiring that for years!
Just a few of us donate eggs to be hatched at the Fair, so we can pretty much tell whose chicks are whose.
You might have noticed the eggs are marked - date anticipated hatch, owners initials and a 'y' for yes, fertile.
Last year someone hatched out ducks... this year were some quail...every year is different!
Yes, there were 3 Polish chicks, a lot of EE's, some Black Java's, my SFH, and some barnyard mixes.
One of the brooders was new-got cracked in storage and had to be rebuilt Monday before the Fair opened. Never dull!
