OK - - I am calming down. I can make bags - - that should be a SNAP.

What do you do - - - one egg per bag or all the eggs from one hen in the bag? ?

Do you put something for structure in the bag so that the chick doesn't suffocate with the bag wrapped around it ? ?

How big do you make the bag ? ?

I am going to bed, but FIRST I am posting this for the third time . . . . .
IF you are thinking I will just go away if ignored - - - YOU are so WRONG !

Ok, I know the west coast girls are all getting cleaned up and dressed up for their chicken show,
but "HELLO" - - EAST COAST . . .

Don't tell me you don't hatch eggs - - I just won't believe it !
I am going to bed.
Since, I was such a Good Girl Today, I know I will be rewarded with a response when I check this forum tomorrow.

Don't know about anyone else but myself I would like to see some of the supposedly good Black Copper Marans. Bring them on folks and lets us see them. I hatched over 600 BC this year and will only have 8-10 males and about 50 female when it is finished tomorrow. I hatched about 30 Wheaten and they are super type and color Marans. I hatched around 25 cuckoo Marans and they are all junk.

I would just like to see some of the supposed good BC Marans. I have some good female and no real good males in the BC.

Math Ace I was out of town Bev said she used laundry bags and when I hatch my own eggs they have to hatch within 24 hrs. I haven't used any yet but I was going to sew up the size to fit the eggs if that makes any sense and take the out of the hatcher when I thought they were dried...........
