therapy for the lost ones... set more eggs in the incubator. 8) works for me. lose one, set 10 more eggs.

isn't that how chicken math works?

Maryruth! I have buttons this morning, I gave up because its day 19 or 20 and I thought they hatched a wee bit early. 3 so far. A Friend who I have staying with us has been hovering over the eggs excited to see such tiny birds! and BOY they don't disappoint ! Ive given them their won incubator to live in for 4-5 days while they get big enough to go somewhere not quite as heat controled. They will have a heating pad, however, so they should be able to get heat at their level.
So far quail eggs seem to ship better then chicken eggs. I just had a 2 out of 20 egg hatch from a swap from a different swap, but quails are popping up everywhere!

I have no idea on the pheasant eggs. The Sussex/x mix are due this week too. They are heavy eggs!

well my may swap turkeys are pipped (all 3), i've got 1 brown coturnix from mary ruth out, and the red dorkings (purchased) will probably pip tonight or tomorrow. at least that's what i had this morning. i'm not home at the moment, since i still have no power except generators. so i'm enjoying a friend's quiet central air. LOL

yup. got home to 2 already out (they're due tomorrow but that incubator's been running half degree hot i think). other is pipped and i candled quickly when i took the other 2 (and 2 quail) out and he's moving around in there. so maybe later this evening.

can you sex these turkeys at hatch?

Well, it's been a horrible week already and to make it worse, get home and still no eggs. I'm crawling back to my cave. Good luck with the hatches guys.

I don't have my eggs yet either, but know that eventually they will be on their way.... I think this hot weather is wrecking havoc on lots of flocks.

My hens are in slow motion too.

I usually get 50-60 eggs a day, think we got 20 something yesterday.
