INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[mlm Mike]

Josh is fine. No idea what caused him to pass out.
Thank you for the prayers!

Good News MC!

My broody Cream Legbar, Blackhawk (named by my 6 yr old because her head fluff is dark). She's sitting on 4 duck eggs.

Pretty, good luck!

Hey Whites...Mr and the neighbor kid found the walleyes the other night.
We trolled crankbaits for a few hours over a nice saddle with weeds....

Very nice!

Hello everyone back in from feeding and taking garbage out.

Starting to collect some eggs from my Altsterier hens. Hope one of the three broodies will take them.

I hope so too.

You can let them on your lap, you'll just stink a bit.

We got a half inch of rain today!!!! New fans ordered for both coops, 12 inch 2100 CF?? $44 each, wall mount types. From Northern Tool. Should be here tomorrow, just hang and plug in. So now I need dust covers for em.

I'm so glad it doesn't get that hot here....of course we pay for it in the winter.

My bit of Ohio has been dry as can be. Hot and humidity like normal, heat index bites.

Josh is fine. No idea what caused him to pass out.
Thank you for the prayers!

Great to hear!! Glad he is ok!

Not much to update since the 5 7/2 chicks hatched. Put them outside a couple days ago & they're loving life. No further incubation planned for a while; 17 birds is plenty. <NOTE> What do you mean 17 is plenty?? 40 birds is a minimum!

daxigait AKA Dax or Daxi
Broody has eight eggs 6/24, but I don't know how many are fertile since my cockerels are young and only with the hens on the odd evening. Green egg layers CL over OE/BSL/BR/RIR.
*Update*
One more week for my broody, but it is supposed to be really hot (heat index today 107 for example). hatch 14/15

Jessimom AKA Kathy
I have 14 BCM that gotro17 had shipped, 4 legbars (I think were also shipped), along with I think 12 of my backyard chicken eggs - these are on day 10. And I set 28???? eggs 2 days ago. It's a mix of gotro17's backyard mix eggs, and mine. I'll do an accurate count if I ever candle them.

Mine are probably not all fertile, Since we pulled the roosters several weeks ago, and the baby roos were just starting to figure out how to play with the girls when they started to crow and got pulled.. I currently have a BEAUTIFUL Salmon Favorelle and 2 black silkie roos in my basement. Waiting until I figure out what we are going to do with them.

I also have 2 broodies sitting on eggs. Not sure how far along, or how many eggs. They both should be getting close though.

Broody hen w/ icelandics.
I have another broody, Icelandic, have no idea how many eggs at this time. Discovered her last evening so she started Sat. or Sun. Problem is she is on hay that I need so I will have to try to move her soon.

Hatch update, I'm not at the house, but have been told broody number one hatched at least one chick! Broody number two is still going. I never had to move her off the hay as I had more hay delivered yesterday.

casportpony AKA Kathy or Kat
Set a gazzilion pea eggs last night, so should see some chicks in 26-29 days from now. Also have another 12 or so due this month, I think, but I don't remember when I set them.


LittleLakePhil AKA Phil
I just set 12 Khaki Campbell duck eggs in my Brinsea.....hopefully they will hatch while my grand daughter is here visiting.....

When I got home early am I had one lavender orpington hatched this morning when I got up at 730 there is another lavender and a chocolate cookcoo cross. Still waiting on the other few 4 of them are 3 days behind so I should be hatching all weekend. Lol. There was only 10 surviving eggs to start with.

attimus AKA Zach

All on day 7, checked one egg last night, veining. Candling the rest tonight.

Egg update.
Incubator was unplugged for my entire shift at work last night. Returned to normal working conditions upon realization. Am not optimistic at this point but stranger things have happened.

Hi everyone have 16 eggs in bator, Olive egger and blue birchan maran should be fun due the 26th.

Leave a LightOn
Six LF Wheaten Ameraucana under bantam D'uccle since 6/27. Broody holding tight day 11. No leakers or stinkers. One poopy and cleaned today.
Update: One of six hatched yesterday, Day 20. Other five eggs rotten!

I will let the broody raise her so she won't be lonely. Mama raised a pair last year for 8 weeks. They were bigger than her!

danielkbrantley

got a dozen mutt eggs and 11 of 12 hatched out. The first hatched Thursday evening around 11:30 p.m. Three more hatched overnight. Another hatched in the morning while I let the big girls outta the coop, and the other six hatched throughout the day. They're now in the brooder and are painfully cute. My girls (human daughters) have been oohing and aahhhing all day.

I used a borrowed LG still air and bought an egg turner to make life easier. Kept it at 99-100 on my digital thermo and 101-102 on the (non-digital). Humidity first couple weeks was 45 or so, then let it drift down to 35 until late on day 18, when I amped up the humidity to 63-65%.

And I am still in shock that it worked so well and so...easily...

Thanks all for your help! If you scan through this thread long enough, you'll see how uninformed I was prior to this. Your help has been irreplaceable!

Thanks a million,

Daniel

Too true!

Morning

 

[Akrnaf2]

I am fine, but now I have to think since Banti got the wheels comment and someone else the short bus. How are you?

I'm doing alright. The weekend is almost here.

Yes, and the beginning of the next week is right after. ...
Good morning Chaos and everyone else!
