Quote: Well, you're doing just fine.
I have some EE eggs that are easy to see and then I have some that have me going...
Some of the later EE chicks lay olive eggs and I'm usually...and
I gave up candling the OE eggs after 5 days 'cause I can't tell anything anyways...lol.
The stress is making me go gray. (Ok...grayer.)
My chicks are two weeks old today. I had put in what I wanted and then added extra eggs to the incubator to fill in some spaces. These I thought were marans' (to make olive eggers) and I knew some were olive eggs'. (But not sure whose.)
I was cleaning the brooder today and looked carefully at each chick's legs and feet. NO feathering. (My marans crosses all have feathered feet.) so I concluded I had put in welsummer and welsumer cross eggs.
My husband must be catching on because his comment was...Guess that means the incubator will run again.
You think???...husbands. You gotta love 'em!
Mine's petrified I'm going to set more eggs. (More guinea eggs fell into the incubator today)
I plead insanity.
Go babies!Day 13.5 candling done. 9 moving and looking good , 2 may have been napping and 7 are nada, quitters and a blood ring. One more week to go! Come on Giant babies!!
Ahhhh...chicken math.I forgot to mention, on 5/19, in my NEW, SECOND Brinsea incubator (chicken math has taken control!), I set 14 more CCL's and 14 BBCM's, all from Chicken Fanatics. (Well, technically I have 25 in that one and put the remaining 2 in the old one) It wouldn't be quite so bad if the rest of the chicks from the last hatch would sell!Nice!
