Hopefully, he looks like his Grandpa if a Roo!

What breed was his Grandpa? Very handsome boy you had there.

Day 18 is this airspace ok?

 

[gimmie birdies]

It looks okay, but I would not go into lock down yet, wait till tomorrow.

 

[stryker]

OK, thanks. I will put them in lockdown tonight.

Exciting! What's in the dark egg? Looks BCM. And is that an olive egg?

Well put the birds in lockdown last night and out of 63 eggs 29 are ready to hatch on Sunday. If the time part is correct I placed them in the incubator at 3:30-3:45ish PM 20 days ago so they should start hatching tomorrow evening after 3:30pm. Atleast that is what understand but might be wrong on this.. I cannot wait!

my croc pot idea is working, the heat stays even, but that is was way too much water. I am going to dry hatch till day 11 (hatching 101 says egg must lose fluids till then), and when I add more water it will be a small amount till lockdown.


going on day 4/5
