Good morning folks

I'm torn between enjoying this nice weather we
have been enjoying and wanting a winter of it and
knowing we need some cold and some wet for the
winter too. There was a time when I was younger
and we lived in Mich. that I enjoyed the snow and cold
but now it just hurts too much. I'll be happy with whatever
winter we get and glad for the cold and wet as it should
mean a nice spring and summer.

hope everyone has a good day

I was going to join you! But, turns out I'll be getting tires on the car instead, preparatory to my Florida trip. Can't come. I'll hit up the next one. Thanks for the offer, though. But half the fun is going yourself and visiting!

Day 19 of my hatch! I 'think' I have seen some wiggling eggs, but it could be my imagination. When should they start to make noise &/or pip?

My chicks under a broody hatched on days 19 and20. So I would think it is possible that they could start anytime.

They could start now. Any time between 18 days to 21 days. My mail order eggs usually hatch closer to 20 days than 21, possibly start incubating a little if it's hot on the trip?

Can't wait to see pics!

I got an Isbar this morning, my exchequer leghorns are supposed to be going into lockdown on Saturday, but I don't think I'm going to get any my temp in my incubator dropped down too low

Hatched out 18 and 12 more pipping. Most are Spitzhauben so with 40+ I might sell off some unsexed 1-8 day chicks....just a thought...

Why do my eggs tend to hatch out on days 24 & 25? Any ideas?

Sounds like your temperature is at least a full degree below what it should be.

You could bring the turkeys by and I'll sell them while you get tires
........just a thought.......I'll be there anyway so selling the turkeys
would be no problem.
