Yep...those work perfect. I don't even bother to candle until day 10 though. That way I know for sure which eggs to pitch and which to hold on to.

The brightest LED flashlight I have found LOCALLY was out SAMS.

That one is a pullet egg and is about a 7, the rest are 6 & 6+.

I eat a lot of 5's, LOL

Well, we are at day 23 for the 4 eggs left in the incubator and nothing yet with them. Didn't have the chance to candle last night. Had 4 chicks hatch out at day 21 but the little splash one didn't make it through the night- DD found it this am. The other chicks seem to be doing better and the 2nd one whose legs we splinted is able to stand up and walk a few steps

What is the correct doseage for the Poly vi sol(w/o iron)- we gave each chick 1 drop last night.

APA Approval

Hi

The black copper Marans have just been approved by the APA to be judged in the Continental Class in competition with all other approved breeds.

The 4H kids can now show their birds at all levels.

Thank you everyone who has helped this all happen, it was a great team effort with people helping from all over America.
