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

Also, when i test the incubator out, im trying to decide what eggs i should put in. I really just want hens (obviously). Is this "Pullet VS Bullet" thing true?

If you're talking rounded eggs vs. pointy eggs, there is a theory circulating that round eggs produce mostly females. I plan on testing it next time I hatch

Here ya had me on a wild google chase.......

Sorry about that... just having a little fun with the "locals"! Get it? Locals???

You'll have to excuse me... I can be a little rambunctious every now and then. Haven't seen you around these parts until today. Welcome to the wild, wild western side of BYC!!!

Just curious, my chicks are VERY quiet - all of them were quiet until after they pipped. I know my hearing is good. Do all chickens make a racket before they hatch? None of them really moved their eggs at all. But, they keep hatching.

The one that pipped sometime before 6 am is just now starting to zip. 2 others have just pipped. So, that is all 7 of my HAL's are possible going to hatch. I have 4 others that I need to put in lockdown tomorrow. Then I have 12 others that are due 1/13. I have 2 from my 12/26 hatch that are still in the bator that I will check once these 3 pips hatch. I know 1 of them was still alive when I put the 1/1 eggs in lockdown.

I love all the photos!! The ducks especially. If I was more rural, I would definitely branch out!!

some breeds are, like the legbar, now serama are noisy little chits! I soooo want to do them again, but to find french white scovy is hard here!!

I think there is a old wives tale on this but there is a thread testing this.....

Leave the navel alone or iodine or neosporin?

the liquid looked like water. Not jelly like at all.

iodine always on navels, they need to dry and close....
