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

When you do put the shelf liner into the incubator? At lockdown or right at the start?

I added mine when I took the turner out at lockdown.

Yes, I did!!!

Did you share any with Duckling before you kicked her out of the house?

I might need to! Her aunt is an hour late, and Duckling is sitting on the kitchen floor crying for a nap already.

You're doing the right thing. All in or all out. Anything in between can and will cause problems down the road.

thanks, I'm selling them in small groups to people who are only going to keep a closed flock for eggs.
My only concern is what to do with my Lavender Orpington trio. Given the value of the roo and two young hens and their eggs I don't know if I can sell them and trust they won't be used for breeding.

Gotta love it when they start doing that.

Retired postal carrier here. I have to say I loved my customers! I was on the same route for 15 years and some were like family, I, along with most of my co-workers went above and beyond our duties. I know a lot goes on now, more so than even a few years ago, but there are still a lot of great carriers and clerks out there. It upsets me to no end to see bad employees trashing what used to be a great company

I like KK. Use to be a big Rusty Wallace fan. Years ago I had 2 dogs. Guess there names. Rusty and Wallace. HAHAHA My neighbor use to crack up when I called for them. But since his retirement, I started to pull for....

I met Rusty years ago ....Mess paper was a sponsor then. They were big up here.....they had a function for him....so I got to chat with him....was pretty cool.

Quote: You're pretty safe taking that bet. Unless the date I set them as 0 or 8, then I suppose you could call those circles.

I (and my niece if she gathers the eggs) put a code on certain eggs when they are gathered to ID the breed or line. Then I write the set date on top of the egg when it goes into the tray. That way I can move the eggs if needed to consolidate multiple weeks into a single tray. I keep a google spreadsheet with a line for each breed and date, all totaled so I can track the fertility and hatch percentages by setting and breed. That's how I know the Welsummers are hatching a lot better this year, but the black sexlink hybrids were not working with the new roo (he's been replaced by the experienced guy from last year.
