I get one that color from my BSL, it is pretty cool.

Forgive me, BSL means what?

I had mine on 57 for the first couple of days but that's what the packet said on my incubator instructions but that wasn't even as high spas it said but the air cells were so small I lowered it down to 40 and I just lowered it down some more to about 34

Back in 2012 several peafowl people suggested that I incubate at 50%. I decided to use 47%, but lost 1/2 my eggs because of it. This year I will try something in the 30's.

I kept asking if it was a chicken hen. She never did say.

Only thing I had to go on was her saying she had a hen setting on 14 eggs, so I figured it was a chicken. Wouldn't 14 be a bit much for a duck?...IDK; never had ducks. I did, however, specifically tell her that chickens hatch in 21 days, not 28. She replied, saying she'd thought it was 28. I can only assume that she saw that I specified chickens.

Black sex link, sorry!

Ah, ok, well my original hens were red sexlinks, so there may well have been some BSL in them as they were turned into "Special Dual Purpose".

No idea. Maybe she'll come back later with more info. Or not. We tried.

Chick Quality is the RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERYBODY!
ASSESS YOUR CHICKS AFTER HATCH!

Breeders & Hatchery

Understand what a normal chick should look like and understand
That INCUBATION DOES HAVE LONG TERM EFFECTS on your Birds!

AGAIN...
Chick Quality is greater than IT MADE IT mortality rates!
IT EFFECTS THE TOTAL LIVABILITY AND FLOCK HEALTH!


Evaluate red hocks, navels (open unhealed navels), heat buttons (navel has closed before the yolk was fully absorbed) and dehydration. There are different scoring systems that can provide a great tool for assessing different incubators if done correctly, and will show when a trend line starts to go negative.

This is what am EGG from a good chick hatch looks like! your goal post #14673

Advice

• Judge the accuracy of pulling time and hatching conditions by crumbling empty shells in your fist and by checking the amount of meconium on the egg shells.
• Check the height and manner of pipping, to judge whether weight loss during incubation was sufficient.
• Check the inside of the empty shells for signs of insufficient weight loss during the first half of incubation (blood vessels not reaching until sharp end of egg).
• Observe the inside of the empty shells for signs of overheating (excessively large and clearly visible blood vessels).
• Use information obtained from assessing the empty shells in conjunction with other observations, to avoid hasty or incorrect conclusions.

Overly high humidity during incubation results in insufficient weight loss. As a result, the residual yolk sac becomes enlarged, which prevents the navel from closing properly. Conversely, when humidity is too low, the yolk sac dehydrates and becomes hard, which can damage sensitive tissue around the navel.

When eggs are stored for prolonged periods prior to incubation, more chicks with black scab navels are observed, indicating unhealed navels at the moment of hatching.

Lolz, Sally, no, I'm not going to do any of that...that's looking for ghosts, why would you take the time to suggest that to me. My settings have been mostly successful, what were you thinking as you put that treatise together?
