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

[Gloryjasmine]

Hey all so happy for everyone's babies and just wanted to let you know that the storm that has been hitting everyone has finally got us. But its leaving us with tons of snow instead of rain.

So we made a big snowman while giving the run some extra snow storm tlc

Look at you silly!!! That is so cool! I love the snow! When we were kids,we never got snow in Sacramento,California so it was a huge deal to make a day out of "going up to the snow "!!! I'm jealous....

Borrow Dolly Parton's...

I don't think even Dolly could pull that off . although she carries around at least two LGs full .

I did that early spring they lay them I put them in . before I knew it I had a hundred and fifty eggs incubating and was turning seventy of those by hand I had chicks hatching every day for a month

when it was over said I wasn't going to do that again.

I didn't let myself get that carried away!! I've read about how hard it is to have a staggered hatch. But I am trying to replace the rooster that sired these eggs. He got wry neck at 4 years of age ( I think it was an ear infection) but nothing I tried was working so after 2 or 3 weeks I put him down. I know that the eggs are suppose to still be fertilized for a couple of weeks after the rooster is no longer with the hen, so I was grabbing up the blue & green eggs & 1 brown egg that all came from "his" girls.

wonder how you fit all them eggs in a bra if the power goes out

. 2 diesel generators back up the house and buildings. If you really wanted to know.

Also, let me be clear, shipped eggs are a whole different ballgame vs hatching out of my breeding pens. The last eggs I had shipped in, I ordered 36 BBS Orp eggs. Upon arrival, 7 were broke, and hatched 4. Yes, 4 out of 36 made it. 2 Blues, 1 Black and 1 Splash. Detached air cells and looked like USPS played soccer with the box. Now, we did drive 14 hours round trip for Ayam Cemani eggs just so we didn't risk the shipping aspect.

Looks like there are some good hatches happening right now!

hope they all hatch for you . I have a hatching addiction . this is the first weekend since April 7th. that I don't have chicks hatching . trying to get the chicken off my back .

where the whole bra incubators go wrong is there is no heat on the other side of the bra away from your body. you may need heating pads to the outside like hand warmers.

how often do you hatch? with that much hatching space you must have a lot of chickens .
