June Hatch A Long

[jolenesdad]

I was curious and did a little reading and I think the consensus is the broody will clean them. By rolling them around and her oils. Fascinating.

As I said before... I want a broody!!!!

wow! that makes sense! thanks!

I have a broody but I’m so afraid to give her the three eggs I have. Can someone advise me on that one. She’s pretty serious and the eggs are 15 days in the incubator and she’s been sitting on store bought eggs that I keep charging so they won’t get bad. Any advice? Should I sneak in the three eggs or should I give her the chicks ones they hatch?

Id vote for waiting and trying to get the chicks under her when they hatch. This late in the game, I don't think you want to change their hatching environment....

I'm on day 11 - all looking good so far for my first-time broody (as we head in to winter). She is a 7 month old sussex/wyandotte cross. She's doing such a great job. She is sitting on 5 olive egger and 5 araucana eggs

I have my one egg that internal pipped. It hadn’t broken through with a safety hole. So I opened it and found it malposition with foot over head. I can visibly see that the yolk isn’t absorbed yet. So I added oil to the membrane and back in the bator. The other egg hasn’t had any pips yet.

My muscovies keep failing on me. Third batch this year with many late deaths. Dead in shells that's internally pipped but not externally seem to be the most frequent, so this time I'm gonna do a tiny safety hole as soon as I see internal pipping. Temp is fine, humidity a bit higher than last year, but what I think is the problem is insufficient turning. I've set the eggs upright instead of laying down. 2 internally pipped so far...

So out of everyone in this group who has the earliest hatch date??? When will we start seeing the little fuzz balls arrive?

I’m due tomorrow and I have my first pip!! I am beyond excited.
