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

[OneMountainAcres]

He's just fine. He was announcing his presence to all the world first thing this morning.
Going to be interesting to see if the other rooster comes around the pen to challenge the new kid on the block; he's big, bad, & brave...long as there's wire between them.

By the way, how often was he crated? I thought you'd mentioned that he'd been in with the turkeys, so I didn't put any heat in with him overnight; it only went down to the the 40's last night.

Lol, sounds like him! Glad he's doing good

He's been in the turkey coop with them for maybe a month and before that, he was in a small separation pen with two hens. He was there when we had those hard freezes. I've never added heat for him but he's also always had other birds to roost with and keep warm. Even when he was in the main coop, he'd get driven away every morning by the other roosters but he'd still roost in there with everyone at night.

how is she?

ask Joey they all had the same issue, or look in the incubators section where I threw the links in to help in the notes section.... that other woman had issues as well.... I will try to find the posts here

If that was meant for me, it's not a hen. It's the new BCM rooster I picked up from Aurora yesterday, & he's AOK, thanks

Just candles my huge double yolker on day 4. And....

I CAN SEE VEINS IN BOTH YOLKS!!!! Does this mean that 2 babies are forming? And might hatch?

They'll need help more than likely. These videos are from a BYCer that doesn't get online anymore. I haven't seen her since shortly after I joined. She hatched 2 double yolkers. Both survived in the first egg and only one survived from the second. So, yes, there is a chance to get chicks from these eggs, but it usually requires assistance.

Quote: The funny thing is I don't add water until lockdown. I've got really high humidity in my house and it works out perfectly for my hatching method. My first few hatches didn't work out well. They drowned in shell because I was adding water.

Quote: Doms are evil.... at least, my one Dom hen is evil. I can't go in the coop at night or she'll try to peck the top of my head. The roo I got with her (lost him to a raccoon) was as sweet as could be.

J&TRanch 1/12/16 12 self blue Cochin bantams (shipped) day 3 (going to candle today to see how many are viable).... And 18 eggs arriving in the mail tomorrow @J&Tranch My shipped self blue bantam Cochins are doing good. I had to throw out a stinker and a seeper

So out of those 10 remaining, 7 are developing nicely

They're on day 7. I ended up receiving 16 shipped from GA, they looked good considering the single digit temps- only 3 saddles and none cracked. They're on day 3 today, will candle Wednesday maybe.
Saris My hatch is done 6 DIS 24 chicks outonly had to help one out of the shell when it got stuck zipping. Hooray!
TJ The original two surviving Serama eggs from the shipped mushy mess have bit the dust. From the newer shipped mess there are two still developing. They do have horrible saddle cells, so not a lot of hope for them either. My purple Guineas have just started laying and people are wanting chicks, so.....Pulling out the Mind Reading Bator this weekend!
Casportsponyday 34 for the Muscovy eggs and it looks like I have one external pip, two internals. One of the eggs have a huge "bruise" at the bottom of the shell, so I doubt it's still alive.
