sweet!!! Welcome over!!   how many is a weeks worth?  I tread lightly on that one, one time someone said 102 lol

I only have 2 hens so a week's worth of turkey eggs will be 14.

I know, DwaynNLiz.  The only reason I decided to save the eggs was because I've never had an EE her color before.  Can't wait to see what we get.  She lays a green egg.

i want some of their babies lol!!

Ok... Today I did a solid candle on everything in my incubator. Day 13 survivors are as follows::: 8 duck eggs :::: 8 EE eggs ::::: 31 bantam eggs.

My day 10 eggs are as follows :::: 4 black Australorp eggs :::;; 2 black Australorp/ white leghorn eggs.

So far not bad considering 1 of the duck eggs was over 3 weeks old at time of setting. It's black so cool and the day 10 eggs haven't had a rooster for 2 weeks and I just added him back.

good luck!!!!

Thanks. They are not my eggs save the day 10s so all live hatched will go back to their mamma.

This sounds like a lot of fun! I have Guinea fowl and let them hatch their own eggs. They are producing eggs right now and I expect them to go broody and start laying on them sometime this month (May), although I can't say for sure when that will be. Can I still enter the Hatch-a-Long contests even though they haven't started laying on them yet or do I need to wait until they actually start laying on them to enter?

Just lost my job. Fortunately have 30 more days to find work as I have 2 more paychecks coming. No family anywhere near me anyhow so planning on moving. Hoping to take most of my poultry with as I have an aunt with acreage who I am hoping will bird-sit until I get back on my feet. Happy Friday :/

The Lord sometimes closes a door but opens a Window right? (For those who aren't religious sorry)

Anything in a bator or under a broody counts in this Hal soooooo have to wait a bit longer I would say dunno
