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

If it is indeed a Crele anything, I'm putting my money on Crele Old English bantam. These sell around $3.50... or tree fiddy as Yoke would say.

You all do know that while "pretty", those pretty feathers don't make them taste any better......

The calibrated thermometer and hygrometer ms SALLY sent is 100.5 and 22 % humidity

Temp is a little high for a forced air incubator, and humidity is a little low.

I said earlier I hope you didn't have the incubator running with the eggs you just got today from ms Sally. Since you probably aren't checking the temperature and humidity of your armpits, I'm guessing you set the new eggs already. If this is true, then I'm sorry to say I won't be helping you with any problems you run into with this hatch. If you still have ms Sally's eggs sitting in a carton outside the incubator, you need to tell us now...

Yep.

Kind of like wanting to kill a "trophy buck"... you can't eat the antlers! Then there's the argument they'll mount the antlers. That's all fine and dandy if you're rich, but I'd rather spend money on something I can actually use. Just my view...

I candled, weighed, and drew air cells on my 33 today. With my weighing on day 4 to be sure how their weight loss was going, I found I was hugely ahead of where they should be trending so I upped the humidity. FLASH TO TODAY: Air cells are on the small side for day 8 even though my weigh loss was in line with what it should be. . I think I will drop my humidity back into the mid 30's and check again in a week. . Although, I could clearly tell that at least 19 were viable... Oh yeah!!!!

Plus on a side note, I have someone coming to grab my 2- 7 week old cockerels I hatched out last. I was worried about getting rid of them but I've had tons of people wanting them! YAY no stew pot for them!

That's what we had for lunch stuffed into a hard taco shell. Yummy

Ok, I have a total phobia about eating the fertilized silkie eggs we get.  Can't do it.  I can only hatch so many.  

So, we just scrambled a couple dozen and are going to feed it back to all the chickens.  Can I feed any to the tiny babies?  Or do you wait on feeding extras?

Any time I want to add more protein for my flock, I give them some eggs!!! They will love that for a treat. Just make sure they have grit and they will love you extra that day!

Looks like you got your answer...a real shame
