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

[kwhites634]

About as close as it will ever get according to the docs and my physio terrorist. Too many sports injuries earlier in life when I still believed I was invincible. As long as I look after it properly, its good, but then my physio gal would miss me!

Football? We didn't have any equipment as kids growing up, but that didn't stop us. It's a wonder any of us can still function

Wewt!

Did you catch that post a few back about the incubation temp for quail?

So I'm thinking about getting Icelandic
Chickens....any thoughts?

Can you keep them from crossing with your other flock members? Just my opinion, but if I were to get them, I'd try to keep them pure. Not quite sure I can even tell you why I'm thinking that, other than the fact that it took a very long time to develop that land race, and I'd hate to see it watered down by mixing it with other breeds.

I would like the same question. I had an incubator that did the same thing....

Why does a person need to set the eggs with lowest dip up?

B/C that is where the chick is likely to pip. If that dip is down, fluids will pool where the chick pips, and she may drown.

My bator is 100 degrees and 28 percent humidity.. I know I have to raise the humidity.. but I am getting two different views on coutenix quails.. 100 or 95??? go!!

I accidently posted this in Grannys thread, bless her soul. But the farmer I am getting the coutnex or what ever quail eggs sent me a message saying they need to be hatched at 95 degrees and I read the thread that said 99 degrees.. thoughts????

Incubation temp same as with chickens.

Football, ice hockey, and downhill skiing. Raced and did competitive freestyle for 8 years. Still play hockey, toss the football with the grandsons, and try to ski twice a year each year just to prove I can still give myself a concussion. I can still do the aerial jumps, landing them is a lot more difficult than it was twenty years ago though.
