fill me back in, sorry I am not remembering much as usual..... how many eggs in bator? how many pipped how many hatched? what is humidity? what day did the pip or hatch?

Haha Well, there are 10 eggs, but I think only a few are going to make it. There is one that has made noise and movement, but no pipps. The humidity is at 73% and temp is 99.7. I really want this one to have the best chance since I don't have the hen any more. None hatched yet. The others are on about day 17. This one is on day 18 or 19.

SO adorbs!! I love those lil ducks!! Can't wait till mine start laying!!

I tried!

I'm keeping my HRIR roo



And this guy I was growing to eat but he's too nice! Any kid can pick him up and tote him around and he just sleeps in their arms. AND LOOK AT HIS EYES.



So those will be my camp roos. I'm keeping three hona roos, but honas don't count in the 16 count.

Right now I've got 6 in the meat pen, only 3 are big enough to eat (sold one). And I've sold 7 this week, and two guineas, so that's progress.

he is cool!!!

If I could carry them around with me all day then I would, believe me! Can't wait until I can put them in the bath and they can have their first proper swim, they are currently trying their best in their water bowl, just deep enough for them to splash around in. It's the first time I've hatched ducklings so I'm a bit wary as to how much I can hold them and stuff, don't want them
imprinting in me too much because I start my first full time job in two weeks, and I don't know who will cry more when I leave I. The mornings, me or them!? Lol ^_^

I only have two hens and will only breed a few replacements. Mainly, I want to make blue egg layers with my Leghorns, and green egg layers with others. My two concentrations will be my HRIR and EE. I have a nice EE cock and an Ameraucana.
Actually I have an extra blue and black BBS Ameraucana if anyone needs one.

Well then, IMHO, it doesn't matter which rooster you keep. You aren't trying to breed true, so color, size and conformation of the cockerels don't matter one iota. You're looking for blue eggs and not meat. If you don't know the color egg each cockerel hatched from, it is a tossup.

yep truck bed full of boxes left this afternoon

every last legbar
every wellsummer
every sapphire
every brahma except momma and the juvie quad
and some misc stuff all gone

Bye, bye.

Hello all

Hi Chicken Hawk! Glad to see you here.

Quote: I figured that out after I re-read the instructions, but I bet many people will use 2 tablespoons of the powder instead. What I'd like to know is what is the shelf-life of the stock solution?

Since the pack weighs 453.5 grams and makes 129 gallons (if you read it literally), the per gallon dose is 3.52 grams per gallon. The powder probably weighs about 3 grams per teaspoon, so the per gallon dose is 1.17 teaspoons.

Check my math and let me know if that looks okay.
