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

[BYC910]

So I'm gonna candle my Serama eggs tomorrow when both batches are on day 7 and 8. I candled on day 4 and it seemed like I had a lot of clears from my shipped eggs

that ain't good maybe day seven will yield better results

I hope so. But, I got some eggs from my friend so those should have a better chance

Hope not. Shipped eggs have a lot lower hatch rate... How many eggs are in the incubator?

To anyone that bothers to read this:
I had two hens with big bloody spots on their backs, put them into confinement together, the spots are both black now and they have moved back in with the rest of the chickens. We also have two younger chicks, broody raised, probably almost a month old now, one is DEFINENTLY a Roo, because he is much bigger than the other one, who just started to grow a comb, just barely, where his is already pretty big. They moved in two nights ago in a confined cage, let them and momma out today, chicks got pecked on a bit but are roosting on the tiny roosting bar! We have a slope with 3 bars on it, the upper two being large bars, the lowest one, which is about 4 inches off the ground, they are roosting on. Happy that the new coop is suitable for chicks too.

great!!! Glad to hear it!

Glad your two are doing better!

Thanks! Poor Things were being pecked the entire time they were out there.

I had two golden comets that almost killed one of my Easter Egger hens. They were fine together, laid eggs every day but they were total bullies

21 are in the Bator, 3 are incubating for a friend the rest are for me. So my odds are higher that if I had less eggs so...

oooo noooo, so sad.  My chicks spent most of their time on top of it but I did notice they went under some at night. These will stay inside as long as possible

'As long as possible', famous last words... this one is still inside... at night anyways, lol...

Aww! How do you get your duckies so tame??? I raised mine from babies, but they pretty near had a heart attack whenever I picked one up......

I currently have one Buff Orpington Rooster, and one Rhode Island Red Rooster, and a young Golden Laced Polish Roo. I think I might cull the Buff Orpington, because I bought 4 of them, 3 were Roos, gave away 2, single Buff hen died from what I'm guessing was hypothermia last month? It was raining and freezing cold, think that just did her in. So he is my only Buff Orpington...
