Setting a dozen or two Barnyard Mix hatching eggs from my own flock and my stepbrothers and also some PUREBRED Ameraucana hatching eggs! I have washed/sanitized these eggs and am wanting to see the results.. anyone ever washed hatching eggs and incubated them before? P.s. I never wash my eggs when going to hatch them but there's so much controversy that I wanna see for myself!

Wilkes County, a friend of mine needs some blue laced red wyndottes does anyone know where he can find some in NC?

Glad to meet you

Notice I said starting up #2...I have eggstra space in my incubator and have eggseptional pots and eggstra amounts to eggspidite out of the nursery. I eggspect we can work an eggseptional deal out

I do think we may work something out after this weekend

I have never washed mine.. I have received hatching eggs via mail that have been washed or wiped with a bay wipe. ZERO hatch.
On the flip-side, I have read that some people dip their eggs in some disinfectant or antibiotic ( I cannot remember) after a few days of incubation to kill contagious diseases.
Keep us updated.....I am curious of your results.




p.s. I will look for the info in dipping the eggs.

What do you call this kind of comb?It also looks like it got some frostbite....do you think that's it? New roo, in quarantine right now.

Where did you get this Roo? I think I've see. Him before. I think this is what you call a rosecomb.

Sultans will have a V comb. Sheesh, if you I had known you were looking for boys, you could have come over and taken your pick, since I'm not real far. :/

And sultans are bantams, too, fwiw.

From this picture, he doesn't look frizzled to me. What did they tell you he was? I was annoyed I missed the swap because I have silkie and a bantam cochin boys I need to rehome.

{ I am going to the farmer's market thing there on the 29th to see if I can unload some eggs....}
