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

[Chaos18]

Thank you!!! She hasn't started getting a comb yet, so this is perfect! She should be really pretty, I like the tail in this photo

I love the Dom tail as well. The bar spacing on BR's is to close together in my opinion that's why I like the bigger spacing of the barring on the Dom.

@sally sunshine CyndiD I have10 WH duck eggs being shipped to me next week. Is there a site I can read that will help me prepare the eggs for incubating? <a data-huddler-embed="href" href="https://www.backyardchickens.com/u/331160/CyndiD" style="display:inline-block;@CyndiD can I update this with set and hatch dates and what you actually got now? Thank you I have not received my SWH eggs yet!! tomorrow or the next day??? I will be setting SWH duck eggs and Pekin duck eggs.... AND Australorp over LH, WCBP and NH chicken eggs. Is this what you want to know? My SWH duck eggs should be here tomorrow and I will have to set them 1 week early for HAL, oops, ordered them 1 week too early... sorry I hope I answered your Q???

Well DANG. Air cells were ok, I thought, but they've lost 22% of their weight. It's day 15.

Wow.
Is that humidity low?

Quote: Last year I was really worried about some of my pea eggs that lost a huge amount and they ended up being the ones that had no issues hatching, so maybe you're okay?

Thanks.

They're in a staggered hatch with day 5 eggs. So raising the humidity a bit (to 45%?) now would hurt the others much, right?
I'm still trying to figure all this hatching "stuff" out, so probably better if someone else comments.

Yes I prefer the Doms over the BR

Looks like 12 to me!

what do ya'll think?

So my first year raising chickens I was originally just going to get 6 hens I ended up with over 50 birds in 2 short months ... I had become crazy chicken lady with horrible math skills.

Same thing my first year, local feed stores knew me pretty well by the end of my first chick season.

45 sounds good to me

Could someone please go over to this thread and help this member? She had her hen attacked that was sitting on eggs. So sad!
