I think Augusta or Sanford will be our best bet. We're about 45 minutes from Sanford, a bit over an hour I think from Augusta. Though Sanford we wouldn't be able to go until May 19th at the earliest. Augusta we could do the 28th, just not the one this weekend.
superchemicalgirl - Maybe. With the cost of gas I'm not sure about driving that far, so we'll have to see. What sort of colors are your mixed pullets? As long as they're gentle and decent meat/egg crosses, I just want to be able to tell everyone apart. Any black, barred or speckled ones? Something easy to tell apart from the BOs or EEs? What are the olives?
I am so bummed. I had about 16 eggs go into the hatcher and only have 4 chicks. I went and grabbed an LG at TSC to hatch in because I couldn't find my homemade bator that has a fan and electric thermostat. I will most definitely NOT be using it again. I am so unhappy. There was nothing wrong with these babies and all were moving great when they went in. I have 2 thermometers in there and the floor says 99.5 and the one on top of the eggs said 101. I have never used still air and would have bought the fan but they didn't have it. I had both vent holes open, which it says to do for hatching. I didn't get a single lf gl polish out of the 8 eggs that went into the hatcher. I would have hatched in my brinsea but had set eggs from my jubilees...
I have 1 jubilee orp x cream legbar baby and if they can be color sexed then this one looks like a pullet. I then have 2 blue breda and 1 splash. I candled real quick and one breda still looks ok but everything else looks dead. I am so done with shipped eggs. I know it is not only the shipping as my own had difficulties and I need to put effort into finding my hatching bator soon....LG sucks, wish the stores would carry a better bator...
So what is the consensus on Marek's vaccines? It can only be done to day old chicks, right? We have a neighbor across the street with chickens, down the road with chickens, my mom now has chickens, so I'm assuming exposure is possible.
Do most of you raising chicks vax for it? I'm guessing I am much safer going with vaxed chickens only, right?
are you going to be selling the incubator?
