Wow that great about your son! I was born at Ft Riley!

It seems like everyone's shipped eggs aren't doing that great right now! 4 is good though! I hope all your little babies make it!

That is a pretty good rate, Okie.
I'm going to candle my eggs today or tomorrow... I'm so nervous

on your son coming back closer to home

Hey Graceful........how did the candling go? I see one or two not developing here.......... I will be happy to get a single bird first time out

 

[GracefulBantams]

We had to postpone candling until today, but I'll give you an update just as soon as we do

Thanks

Actually, getting one chick out of the first batch, isn't bad; the first two times I incubated, I got 0 (it was a borrowed incubator from the County Ag. Department, and I later talked to other people who had used it and none of them were able to hatch anything in it either b/c of the messed up heating element).

Day 10. air temp up to 101 .........wiggler at 100......... humidity jumps around still.but never low low or high high.... only 11 days to go !
Graceful........you so better let me know what you find in your candling today
