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

[Fire Ant Farm]

There are many other factors to this though, so I think a happy medium is best..... remember when reading abstracts and acknowledgements, most times a study is only considering specific areas and not the all around figure.... So you need to research it from every aspect to gain the knowledge you seek to try. I would love if you could come up with more information, I am pretty much at my whits end with research and need a brain chill.

google scholar is the place to research

In conclusion long-term high incubation
temperature (38.8
o
C) from the 10th day to the end
of incubation resulted in reduced body weight and
decreased yolk consumption of embryos. High incuba
-
tion temperature affected two strains in a quite similar
manner except for minor differences. Results of the
present study have revealed that the efforts to increase
the body weight of broilers should not be limited to
management and care at post hatch period, incubation
factors affecting the performance should be determined
and taken the necessary precautions

Yep - sticking to standard advice for now, will pull up the article to see what specifically they are referring to in that one article (seems like there are more references indicating lower temp is better). Such is the case with research. I'll see what else I can find and share here - might be a little while, lots going on at work.

@LocalYokel well I got several whie silkies in my hatch, but one has grey stripes on her back which I am not sure what that fortells.
the striped one is drinking.
@Sally Sunshine I thought you meant Kathy, but I wanted to be sure.
@casportpony do you have any suggestions or anything I can read to help me with the chick? Hock won't fully unbend and did not straighten even after splinting two days with 'shoe'. When released it held it up with toes curling a little again.

love the red chipmunky ones!

This was for someone else asking another question, not you.

He should still strive for a happy medium.

Any medium should be able to help...

@daxigait
The white silkies are adorable!

I love their beaks!

The crower has me convinced that I should buy ... whatever it is that he has for an incubator and candler. I saw a better price on an auto incubator on Amazon, but it says that it doesn't guarantee that the eggs will be turned the correct direction. Thus it could turn right left, right. Or, it could turn left, left, left, right, left...

That's an interesting nickname...

The crower? Seriously???  

The "whatever it is that he has for an incubator and candler" is the IncuView Deluxe package from Incubator Warehouse. The IncuBright candler that comes in the package is good for lighter colored eggs, but dark eggs might be a bit of a problem for it. The Magicfly candler looks like it would do a better job on all eggs, even dark Marans eggs.     

CH did you see my post to you?

Here are a few of the links on heat ... I am sure there are more but these came up as last saved

you will have to search for free copies, I have access to a few of these poultry pages so you may not be able to open or see them in full... just search for the title and author and look in google scholar for free copies
