I'm so putting Silver Pieds on my Wish-List!

 

[Mmmatt13]

I have a trio of IB BS Silver Pieds, and two Opal Silver Pied peacocks (I thought I had a pair, but the youngest is looking a little more boyish but we'll know for sure next year). I need some Opal hens, I also have two Opal Black Shoulder males, and one IB BS split Opal.

 

[guineaguy]

Have a opal white eye egg in the incubator think its 2 wks out if it hatches. Have 4 IB split silver chicks 4 bronze chicks 6 pure javas 4 IB loud pieds 5 silver pieds 3 black shoulders one is IB one is cameo one is bronze or opal or IB split to them was a mixed pen so I don't know never seen a 4 week old bs in that colors pic think there is 8-10 more pea eggs and 4 doz guineas over next 2 weeks then I'm done hatching!!!!!

Yah... and it's purdy and holds lots of eggs

Annnnnnd... I traded a batch of keets for a couple of older GQF cabinets that are in pretty rough shape, but I should be able to build a decent 4 or 5 tray hatcher using parts from both units. If not I still have the hatching tray in the bottom of the Dickey (my extra egg trays are in there in this pic), and my 2 Hovabator 1588s to hatch in (the LGs are now officially FIRED... err RETIRED). Now I have to build more brooders and grow out pens too, lol.

OMG

I need me a few of them But seriously that is awesome! And they say the bigger your bator the more stable the temp too!

I love Love LOVE this incubator! It served me beyond well this season. Stable is an understatement, rock solid fits better, lol.

I was able to get the hatcher put together and working about a week or so after i got the incubator. It did a great job too, it was just as stable.

I have one more small setting of Silkie and Showgirl eggs, then 2 small settings of Peafowl eggs in the incubator left to go... then I am done hatching for the season !!! (IF I can keep myself from setting the last dozen Silkie and Showgirl eggs I have sitting in my egg storage area, lol). My Turkeys and Peafowl are FINALLY done laying for the season (phew!) and all my Guinea eggs have been either going into the fridge or sold for eating eggs lately.

I'm still getting between 16 and 18 eggs from the Guinea girls, and 2-3 Silkie and Showgirl eggs a day... sheesh they all need to quit! I feel super guilty every time I'm putting eggs in the fridge, but I am just too burned out on brooder cleaning to keep hatching more keets
