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

[daxigait]

I think I make make them "sustainable" (pay for winter feed) by selling kids. Any does added in the future will be registered. Summer is handled through camp income (they're programming/an attraction).

Chickens, once I sell the summer flock, will pay for their winter feed through layer eggs and sales of the HRIR and svart honas. I'm new to both, so still getting my feet wet but I think I've got good stock.

What line are your HRIR?

I locked down Sat night.... I have a pip! I raised the humidity to 69%.
Is this right?

Go chickies

George Ryan family? The lady I got them from thought they had added another roo from a Mohawk line...?

I'm not familiar with their lines yet.

Pip on #1 is a bit bloody, so it must have pipped a vein. #2 might be a wrong ender, either that or crazy low drawdown.....

Sounds even better than what I thought it was

Good news... Broody still on her eggs; and I came home to 5 eggs in the coop they have been refusing to use woohoo (not in the nest box though, but in the tray under where the roost bars are - better than none or the middle of the run!)

This is the one I used last winter and it worked great.

That would work too.

Sure does
i was thinking about using a fish tank heater, a submersible one

I think it depends on the size of the container which wattage to use.

Thanks!! I'm glad the temps and humidity are down.

I don't like, but was ok with the corn soup, but when it switched to cream corn, I got a bit grossed out. I'm a flour tortilla person, crunchy corn tortilla shells are ok sometimes.

That's pretty nice to make an all day trip to pick up a roo that you already got rid of once....

I don't have a patience to grow my own, but from farm stands around the area we get good corn. But, MAYBE twice a year I'll eat it. My folks have it every few days all summer.

I currently have 4 crowing, big enough to eat. In the group of babies I am housing at someone else's house (I stop by twice a day to feed and water), I have 3 crowing, but they are tiny. They have at least 5 full grown roosters in their coop, so they don't mind my baby's squeaky crows, so I'll let them get a bit bigger.

After losing so many birds, I'm happy to be getting some of the good genetics back that I had passed on to others years ago.
As well as at least one unrelated bird.

Wrapped. With what,?

This isn't the exact bubble wrap but one like it. The one I bought was white on one side and reflective foil on the other. I put the reflective side in to retain heat in the barrel.

While not a big pie fan, except for pumpkin, I can definitely do custard.

Keep up the good work.

In case you missed this Benny! @Akrnaf2

Ok Benny now I have questions!

Was that curry or turmeric? What's was the black powdery stuff at the end? I love that cooker!! Is there a name for it? Was that rice they dropped in? What country was this?

WHERE WAS THE REST OF THE GOAT??

In the yard eating grass?
I don't have any Idea, I think it was one of India states.
And if you really want a good goat recipe I can find you one, I have had it before, but it isn't very common!

So I have a few questions for you guys. On Aug. 4th I received 24 serama eggs in a pretty beat up box. Nearly all had disrupted air cells, or where complete scrambles. I let them settle for 24 hrs before going into the incubator, placed them upright, didn't turn them for 72 hrs, when I did start turning them I made sure they stayed at recommended angles. I stopped turning at day 16. I'm in lock down now. I only have 6 that have made it this far. I'm preparing for an assisted hatch. I've clearly marked the air cells. What are some things to watch for during hatch when you have saddle sacks or worse in the developing eggs? I've assisted hatches before, but never with such large funky shaped air cells, are there differences in the way you judge when to help?
Tomorrow is the first day they could possibly hatch and I already have 4 rockers and at least 1 internal pip.

I did succeed in getting the post office to replace my eggs, and I received my second shipment today. The box looks pristine, but the eggs inside are as bad as the last. Only 3 have good air cells. I was given the recommendation to only let them settle for a few hours then put them in the incubator then continue babying them like I did the last, with the thought that the developing veins will stabilized the air cells better than extra hours of settling will. What have been peoples experences? should I put them in tonight? or wait til tomorrow?

Thank you very much in advance!
