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

I was thinking about setting a few TJ eggs for the Easter HAL. Can't remember if our store has brown or white eggs, but they do sell fertile ones.

This may be redundant but be sure to check the day date on the end of the carton. Be sure to get the freshest. The first dozen I set did not grow, too old. Second dozen did well.

So.... it's been 20 minutes since I set my eggs should .... lol....I candle them now?

You should've had them candled 3 times already....get on the stick!

They have layer supplement at the feed store you can buy to mix in their food.

Hey Hey Hey!

I have a BCM that was hatched in early September and she isn't laying yet. Should be anytime though. I read they start laying between 4 and 6 months depending on the bird.

The marans was a year and 3 months when I got her. She is my oldest

Are they brown or white eggs. Trader Joes here only has white but Ron says the are a mixed bird and some might lay brown eggs.

Can white eggs be candled more than brown ones?

Phil do you graft your tomato plants with a better root stock. Advantage is stronger root growth. I'm in the same boat. I wasn't going to do the order thing this year but, I did. I still need to get my rootstock seeds. I did not order as many though. Those nice seed catalogs do draw me in though

I've never grafted my plants. Looked into it. And have bought grafted plants. I had mixed results....some years are growing season is not very good. I've actually seen snow in every month...so when you get snow in July and August don't matter what your growing. My point in saying that is that the year I planted the grafted tomato plants was one of those crappy growing seasons. I may try again. My friend actually has the seed for the root stock.

Hmm...not sure what going on. Are any of them eating the eggs? I've had b it's do that in the past and was never able to break them of the habit. They are no longer with us
