July 2017 Hatchalong

[akorte]

Real Ameraucana or EE? The ones I bought last year said Ameraucana but they were obviously EE after they hatched (some had yellow skin) but they were still beautiful with very pretty blue eggs.

According to the ebay seller, they are Ameracaunaus from show stock. I looked them up on a review site and they

had positive feedback. Fingers crossed.

Those look promising! You can never be too sure, with people throwing the terms Ameraucana/Americana/Aracauna around willy nilly. lol

I've been putting eggs from my Australorp's in my incubator daily this week. I did a candle of the first eggs that I put in on Monday and Tuesday, and I think that I am starting to see some of those spider-web looking things in a few of them. I'll wait a couple more days and try again to be sure. I'm so excited, as I am hatching from my Blue rooster this time.

Do you have a separate hatcher? Usually you don't want to add daily. I even have a separate hatcher and still add in batches.

My bantam EE eggs arrive Wednesday intact with very good air cells. I set them on Thursday.

Right now I have a Spitz-Egger and a guinea in the hatcher. The guinea is pipped externally, the chick just internally at this point. I have another Spitz-Egger in there that is just starting to draw down.

No, I just have the one incubator, but I have done split-hatches in it before when I hatched out eggs from my splash rooster.

Any reason you don't just set them in batches, at least?

We're hatching Call ducks, but most of them arrived with ruptured egg sacs We've had 8 on, on day 3 and had to chuck one with a blood ring already. Super anxious and putting them all with their bums in the air tonight... but perhaps too late! Rested them for 24 hours but using a Brinsea Mini so they're on their sides and I've been manually turning!

Ok, another update on my incubating eggs...

On the eggs that I put in there on July 26th and 27th, I found one with a bloodring, and tossed it. 9 definitely have the spider viens going on in them and some even look like a small bean attached to them. I added 4 more eggs in there from today (July 2nd).
