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

[Akrnaf2]

I have 4 kids and a husband who can easily consume a dozen eggs or more per day, if we had enough to actually do it. LOL

We also make homemade dog food, and we use eggs, and shells for vitamins in that, too.

Wish I could hand them to you.

Woohoo!
I'm drinking some now since I woke up at 2 with my first hatch from the bator of Mottled Javas. Will need it today!!

It's amazing that I never had any Javas. Being from NJ, I had JG. I might need to specialize in two breeds!

Yup

You succeeded!

EAT THEM!

Sorry. I couldn't possibly eat a dozen or so eggs every single day!

You can back cakes and sell them!

Now that you've learned something are you heading back to bed?

hugs !!!  you got this!!  keep that air flowing ohhhhh I forgot, you know I run a hotter bator right?  not sure if you picked up on that.  it may not hurt with these, anyways good air flow and keep that humidity LOW LOWLOW!!  Cant wait to see these monsters hatch!!!  so fun!

I have some huge, very oblong Wyandotte eggs pip'ing a day or two early currently, had to move one this morning from the incubator to the hatcher because today is its actual lock down day, tonite technically, so it wasn't moved yet to the higher humidity with the Araucanas (one pip'd when I left for work in the AM)... I dropped my last viable Gold Campine Felt horrible about that, it was a cute chick and died in my hand...(egg shattered)... I know, it happens

I'll be putting those Sussex eggs and Dark, Red Laced, and Blue Laced (project) Cornish in tonite when I get home... Have Light Brahma in that incubator already, on day 7 I believe, I will likely do candling since I'll have it open already. I'm hoping to be sharing pics of healthy baby Araucana, maybe a Wyandotte or two(though I really hope they just stay at their breath hole lol), or even Sweedish Flower... Have a polish, @PeasPoultry Whiting True Blue (6/10 made it to lock down!), 2 Cream Crested Legbars... I think that's all that's trying to hatch for me over the next 24-48hrs... Boy have I been busy...all because I want 1 or 2 of just about everything lol

Off to the post office. I'll be back with the eggs shortly. I put the water bottles in to heat up. They weren't cold, but not quite 100 degree's either.

It was reading 97 in there again. Ugh. My husband and I keep having this yoyo of too hot,too cold... so I turned it up a little bit, and we'll see if the water bottles help keep it stable, it's about 40% humidity in there.

Kaj, try putting a cover around the bottom of the bator and make sure the top vents are open. put in a closet or even basement anywhere you can to keep that temp stable!

This form is very hard to keep up with.. I just want to thank everyone for all your help and to helping to show me where all the different information is on incubating.

I ended up having to pull the eggs from my broody as she decided that even though she was going to sit on the eggs she was not going to have any more chicks than the first 4 that hatched. She started to kill them after they hatched. I was able to save 1 chick and 10 eggs. It was great timing as my 6 that were already in the incubator were going into lock down. Follow all your instructions I have 3 chicks that have hatched as of this morning. All eggs should be done hatching by Sunday.

awwww I am so sorry, bad momma hen!!! oh I pray the rest hatch for you!! good luck!!

i just set 7 in incubator last night my first batch

Oh GOOD LUCK WITH THEM!!!!

I just collected the smallest chicken egg I've ever seen It was only about an inch or two long, and not fully hard. Has to be from one of the pullets; I'd already gathered three from three layers. I didn't expect to be getting any eggs from the younger ladies for another couple of weeks, but I'll take it.

I'd post a picture of the midget egg for you if Microsoft hadn't screwed up my uploading capability

I believe you whites I believe in you whites

Banty cochins and a keet!

dawwwwwww

My struggle is that I am supposed to love people as a believer, but too often I focus on my concerns or 'rights' rather than trusting the Lord to take care of me and loving the people. It hurts my heart that I continue to stumble on this same sin.
It reminds me of a line in this week's sermon which was "The opposite of love is not hate, but rather self love."

@daxigait You are confessing your sins to us and everyone needs needs someone to confess to, despite their religion. You’re not alone, most of us work to overcome our sins and they are forever personal struggles. You speak and ask for forgiveness, you acknowledge your failures, you are a wonderful person Dax. I am blessed to have come to know you through this place. Very Blessed.

You didn’t get like you are overnight and perfection take time.

You can back cakes and sell them!

If I can't get anyone to buy my eggs, how on earth would I get them to buy baked goods? It is much easier to just let the flock have them back.
