Hubby wants me to STOP hatching so we can go out of town for a long weekend ..... this going to be a nail biter for me.....

but in the scheme of things it would be a nice break. I have chicks running out my ears anyway.

Where in the world do you find all those cute GAAH people you put into your replies.!!!!!!!

I has a question.......

How many days can mailed eggs sit out at room temp and still be incubated. I just got 6 Blue Slate turkey eggs in the mail today. I have another 36 eggs due in two days. Can I let them sit at room temp that long or should I put them in the bator now and hope for the best?

Do u know what days they were collected? 7-10 days from being collected is usually ok.

These were collect Thursday and Friday from what the seller told me. I bid on 4 auctions and figured I never get any. I won all 4 auctions lol

DH is a bit peeved, but not too peeved since he rolled my trailblazer last Friday and it has been totaled by the insurance company. Over 9,000 in body work and they had not gotten to the mechanical stuff. Trailblazer was worth about 5 grand...

We're back from vacation and I can start INCUBATING!!!

So besides a HWcloth divider, does anyone have any good ideas for separating eggs/chicks for hatching in a genesis? Here's my problem: I am collecting eggs from one pen for EEs under a barred roo (so everything should be barred that hatches) and eggs from ANOTHER pen for barred sex-links. See my problem? I don't want to mix them up. I'd just separate by comb, but the sex-links are going to be Wyandotte mixes and the EEs are going to be wheaten ameraucana mixes and those 2 combs look WAY too much alike at hatch.

Could strawberry boxes work? They have "vents" in them, I'm just not sure if it would be ENOUGH ventilation/airflow. Inexpensive is the key here.
