1 out of 6 bantams polish have life in it with realy bad air cell

3 out of 8 tolbunts polish have life in it with again bad air cell

can you?  that would be nice.  but i heard that its too hot to ship.  maybe thats live ones right? lol

What's your temp? It's been really mild here. I think we'd be okay. My fertility rate has been excellent, yay! The next 18 they lay are spoken for (perks of having a semi-rare breed) but after that they're all good to go.

Ugh!!! Got home a little after 6 to a house with NO POWER!!!

Super exciting day for me!! Pile it on! I can take it!!!

Well, eggs are in lockdown. This is my first hatch, and I am now in the process of reviewing everything I could have possibly done wrong and what I should have done, and what might have worked out better. And I don't even know if anything has actually gone wrong yet.

Several hours w/o power is okay. Some of the newer incubators actually have a cooling cycle to mimic the broody hen getting of the eggs. Good luck, I hope you aren't w/o power for long. btw, I just hatched an egg that I brought in from the coop that was quite cool after being incubated by a broody for 2 weeks. Mama hen started sitting on a nest with no eggs rather than the one that had her eggs in it. This was not the only misfortune that the egg experienced. I had found them uncovered at least once before.

I assisted a hatch on day 22. It looks like a good outcome for that one.

I have 7 eggs in the 'bator on day 19, it looks like most if not all have pipped internally, no external pips yet.

I just added a container of warm water with a sponge to the 'bator to boost the humidity. That poor chick had dried to much...

Good luck to all of you expecting hatches of the next few weeks. I can't possibly keep up with the quantity of posts that happen in this thread. Wow!

WELL ,,,,, how long ya gonna keep us hangin jac , what did you decide to go with the suspense is killing me down here lol

I went with GL brahmas

 

[jnjmanning]

No kidding?? Jac??? Well.... WHAT did you decide???? Probably too busy herding cows to get on ByC!

LOL Nicole. I was actually tending cows today. I have our herd and then 3 small herds I manage for a lady. Her property borders ours, so it's not so bad. Well she decided she wanted a 4th herd. Had a nice bull born to a bred heifer she bought. So I spent the day cutting 12 ladies out of her largest herd, separating them, then adding a bull. After that I had to rotate pastures on everyone. At least it was a beautiful day. Not real sure about this bull yet. My other bulls are big babies, this guy has a little attitude. Nothing more dangerous than 1500 lbs of attitude!

They are sending the eggs out Saturday, so here comes my July hatch. I was really wanting to get this new incubator going! Hubby worked on it tonight. Even though its fathers day weekend, I bet he gets it going for me! I guess if I am going to ruin any eggs, might as well be free ones!

I had eggs that were shipped out too. So I am in on July hatch.
