Well I can tell you he has his head straight up in the air and his mouth wasn't open!! Don't even know if you can see anything in this pic.. This sister wasn't getting anywhere's close to it!!

Well me and brother got to looking at your snake Missy wish the head was visible or in tact in the other photo but we came to an mutual agreement it probly is a cottonmouth moccasin and not a copperhead, although it doesn't compare to these Anacoco creek cottonbackrattlemoccasins or rattlebackdiamondmouths (badd@$$3$) over here they are different in color in different locations evidently but it isn't light colored enough to be a copperhead though, sorry for the mass confusion which I'm generally apt to stir up on occasion(pretty often).

Thanks Terri. I'm excited about setting the eggs. Keep us posted on if any golf balls come up missing.

Beautiful Julie!! Love those Peacocks! Good luck hatching their eggs.

Thank you!

Terri, I checked on the pea girls when I got home from work and no eggs at 6:30 PM. I went for my daily jog and when I got back, I checked them again and they had laid 2 eggs, so yes they are laying in the evening. So, I gathered up those eggs and placed them with the others and all of the pea eggs are in the auto turn and will set them on Thursday or Friday. On the peafowl thread, someone mentioned to lay the eggs on their side in the incubator instead of straight up and down with pointed side pointed down. They said that hatch rate is better when you lay them on their side. I didn't know that, so I will try that. Have you heard that before? How do you incubate your pea eggs? They also said that the humidity is VERY important when incubating pea eggs. So, I have to go and buy a humidity-thinga-ma-jig to make sure the humidity is right. I have to get these pea eggs right. These are THE most important eggs to me out of any of the other eggs. This will be like winning the Lottery if even 1 egg hatches.

Here is a pic of a fart egg that 1 of my new RIRs layed. They have been laying for 2 weeks now. They started laying exactly at 4 months and 3 weeks old. Their eggs are beautiful. I should have ordered more RIR pullets.

I"ve never incubated them before so I'm new to it, too. The UPA website has some good articles on incubation & the correct humidity & all that. I have 2 hygrometer-thermometers from Walmart that work quite well. I always test them to be sure they're calibrated correctly, & I also use a water wiggler (if you do a search for these terms on the hatching thread you can find directions & explanations on them a lot better than I can try & explain it!)

Mr Burt liked to start his eggs under a broody hen for a week & then move them into his incubator - he said he got better hatch rates that way. He put them in the turning racks & also hand turned them 3 x day - I never was quite sure what he meant by that but I think he had them on their sides in the racks but also turned them completely over as well. Seems like that would scramble them but that's the way I'm going to do it when the time comes, except I don't have any broodies to start them under.

crossing everything for you here!

Beautiful! I can't wait for mine to start laying. I LOVE them. They are my favorites & I'm going to hatch some more of them this fall & make them the mainstay of my flock.

I will look for the hygrometer-thermometers from Walmart. I need to get that ASAP. I will also look up water wiggler. Thanks for the information.
