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

No, you had it right. We were talking about tomatoes.  I hadn't heard or thought about grafting them.  Then I went off topic, but still talking about grafting & talked about fruit trees.

Oh ok. I was grafting some apples and pruning at the time and trying to text. Dangerous combo. The roots on the maxifort tomato are incredible. Most tomatoes I can pull after they've died back. Takes a shovel usually to get the maxifort out.

Does anyone know where I can get Olive egger eggs that the chicks would be f2? And LF Barred Cochin eggs?

Hey guys!
My show went great. My 5 and a half month old Cockeral got 4th out of 15 prospect birds. All my birds beat there previous scores but unfortunately the hens froze on the table. I got a new pair though and the rooster made it to the second tier.

3 hours away from day 16.... I'm worried about the clears. Can you really leave them in for the entire 21 days? I'd hate it if I wasn't seeing the right stuff and killed a viable egg. I'd hate it even more if one exploded though....

@Sally Sunshine Hope you feel better soon!

Turns out you really can drink coffee out of an incubator. You'll want to bleach the incubator first, though!

@Auroradream26

I believe you 100% BUT I think I'd rather just drink up the cuteness that's coming out of the bator right now besides, I'm a tea person

Ran some errands and there were 3 more babies in the bator when I got home! Still more pipped. They really are taking their time. Less than 24 hours old and 8 have already gone to their new homes!

I got a nice bottle of wine for Valentine's day. I think I may be delving into that before long. Some peace and quiet too. The boys are at a boy scout meeting and my daughter is making me waffles so, yeah, relax time!

Wo

I remember when WRIF...came on the Air.
back in the day there were three great rock stations in Detroit..WRIF. WABX & WWWW.(W4)....that wad the station Howard Stern worked at on his movie...one day it turned country...he walked out.
Yes I'm as okay as I can be...still here. Have a bunch of health issues....but I could be worse...went fishing Friday.....could have been much worse.

I do not remember 4W anything other than country. Lol Fishing is always good. Do you have a fancy ice shanty?

I have left questionable eggs until day23 without mishap. If they are true clears shouldn't be a problem. Late quitters on the other hand.... You will smell them, trust me, if they are getting ready to explode. Either way, you have until lock down to decide, if in doubt give em the sniff test at lock down, no smell or obvious deterioration at candle, I usually let them ride.
That's just me though, I know how concerned you are Banty, but only you can make that choice based on your best evidence.

You're doing great thus far!

@Sally Sunshine
Hope you feel better soon!

X2.

Even though I saw poopy butts this weekb was planning to worm in March to give the weak some time to recover and get Tylan in the three I started on it yesterday. Do you think they can handle both because I found this on an otherwise normal poop board this morning.

another good reason to use poop boards.

Quote: Thanks, I think they are true clears- day 14 candle showed nothing, looked like a fresh egg other than the air cell. I did smell them, (and will smell them again at lockdown) but smelled nothing.

Coolerbator builders: can I put a viewing window right in front or only on top?

Is that from the hen or group of hens that did this?
