Cool! I was trying to think about how I could fit them for a NR360. Thanks!This is what I use to separate eggs from for example different hens or different breeds that looks similar as chicks. They are embroidery cards that I cut down to fit inside the incubator attached with small zip ties.View attachment 3191518
@Iluveggers had one for her NR360 that she made! it was great sure she could help you out.Cool! I was trying to think about how I could fit them for a NR360. Thanks!
hmm Thinking I should have done that for my crew since my project chicks look exactly like my splash Cochin chicks! haahaa. But guess it wouldn't have mattered once I put them in the brooder anyways. I know 2 project ones for sure since they are blue and the other 8 I think are splash...... 5 project and 3 Cochin.........It’s if you want to know which chicks hatched from which eggs, if all the the eggs look very similar. For example if I want to know which chicks came from which of my hens, assuming I can tell their eggs apart!Also if you have chicks from different breeds that all look similar than you can tell which ones are which. Hope this makes sense! Example is when I was hatching Polkies and Silkies, which look almost identical at hatch, and I wanted to make sure I was selling the right chicks to the right customer.
That’s what the colored leg bands are for!
last time I tried to use them on store bought chicks I was told what size should work and they fell off of most of them. I figure at some point I can hopefully tell them apart! haahaa. Some might have muffs so that will help if they do. The person I got the eggs from said something about blue or green legs but I swear most had yellow legs will have to look closer tomorrow. If I was selling them asap I would worry more but I will wait keep what I want and then sell the rest. I know I will sell the blues since I want splash. I want to keep 1 Cochin and 1 project. These babies are going to be HARD not to get attached to though! LOLThat’s what the colored leg bands are for!
Yep! And this is precisely why I can't tell if these "blue" babies are from the paint eggs or the splash eggs!!!It’s if you want to know which chicks hatched from which eggs, if all the the eggs look very similar. For example if I want to know which chicks came from which of my hens, assuming I can tell their eggs apart!
Awe they are adorable!Here are some pictures of the babies
I only got 6 out of 12 quail eggs hatched 1 died
I think I have 14 hatched out of 23 chicken eggs so far and at least two other externally pipped
Shall I take out the rest of the quail eggs or wait till hatching is done ?
I only took out those three chickens because they looked most fluffed. Other ones needs a few more hours to dry off. I'm gonna take them out tomorrow morning
I'm so excited. Gonna do a family picture once I have them all out of the Bator

I actually got a 4 section divider made specifically for the NR360 on eBay! It fit perfectly and kept all 4 groups in a different area.
I wanted my legbars separate from my EE & OE. They *could* all look similar/the same at hatch, and I was not keeping them all. Also I wanted to be able to sex the legbars, so I kept each group separate. Good thing too, I had a few hatch at night and I wouldn’t have known which egg they came out of!That’s what the colored leg bands are for!
