I got mine direct from Brinsea.. let me check the spelling... yes, www.brinsea.com It was approx 30 with shipping, and it works really great!

They are also available on eBay, but just about the same price. I decided to get it direct so I have a nice warranty with it too.

Yesterday I went around to the pens collecting eggs as usual. At the sweetgrass pen only one egg. Now they have been out grazing so I wondered if the girls set up a new nest somewhere. Then I remembered, yes, one of my sons saw a girl in the thickets. But which one. I hunted down the kids for more info and they rushed off to find the nest. 9 eggs! 9! Into the incubator they go!!


Here is the daddy!

So my eggs that pipped at the wrong end, again, hatched. At least 4 if them did. Another one looks like it may not make it. Plus I have 2 new baby silkies from my broody hens. Still haven't figured out why my last 4 batches have failed. I've done nothing different then I did last year.

Here's the newest additions.

Very cute!! How do you feel about assisting with the shell as it is upside down?

 

[TAMMACLEAN]

I think that it depends. These guys were really trying to push out of the shells so I helped them. If they weren't trying so hard I would have left them.

That is the same price as direct from Brinsea - is the shipping less?

I hatched 6 Salmon Fav, 1 Ark Blue and a malard mix. One more SF internal pipped and quit, 5 more AB went into lockdown kicking and quit ;-(. Everyone looks good.
Now I am going to start having DT's since everything else is so far out. I have Turkeys, guineas and Wait for it...... Literally ...... Muscovy! 35 days can you believe it?
I have broodies sitting on guinea eggs and my BR Turkey on some Muscovy too.
Did I hear that bantams don't take as long to hatch? Like how long exactly? I think I'm starting to shake!
