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

[audy5000g]

I toss them into my compost bin.  I try to crack them, but if they don't break when they land, turning the compost usually takes care of it.

Ok. Cause we are on day 23 and it stinks in there!

How are you sure?

When they do not peep, and look hazy on candle, with fluid in air cell or around the embryo, and don't rock when water tested and have light or nonexistant veins.

What does everyone do with the eggs that didn't hatch in there incubator ?

Eggtopsy in the compost pile.

You need to find the stinker/s and remove them or you may have an explosion.

They should be fine with a 24 to 36 hour rest. Most of the rigor leaves in the first 24 and then the amount of tenderizing diminishes over time. If you leave the bone in, rigor leaves faster.

That's a bummer.
I have a lot of eggs squeezed into a LG right now and I know only about half will hatch, as long as temps hold steady from this point forward. Trouble is, about half are due in 2 days and 6 hours and there are 3 more settings in there but I had no choice. Part of the problem was many of the eggs were past their prime.
At least I didn't have to buy and ship them.


Some people shouldn't keep animals. Or should I say, most people.

Don't they all get ice water?

Actually when it is hot I put a frozen water bottle in the founts but don't really use ice water. Too cold on a hot day and it can restrict the capillaries.
Foot baths with a frozen water bottle in them are great.

You know you are Burd Crazy when......



It is a hot day, so your ducks and chickens get filtered water with icecubes.

I dont think I ever gave ice cubes to my chickens unless my cup dropped lol
