Pea Eggs Scheduled to Hatch?

[frenchblackcopper]

New 2 pfowl,,I got the dual purpose egg cooler----and pip thru zip refreshment cooler this afternoon,,have it set on 60 dgrees with 8 eggs inside,and a nice bottle of blackberry merlot on one rack,,wife loves asti spumante so I'm sure once she see's it,all will be good.I think the BSSP egg is a quitter,,both purples are thru the air sacks but no pipping activity,,pics forthcoming and I see a cork popping later this eve.

Hmmm...it seems strangely fortuitous that egg storing temperature and wine storing temperature are...the same!

Truly a "dual purpose" piece of equipment,,yes??

Okay,it's "officially" Saturday now and I decided it was time to "tweek" the new wine/egg cooler to serve it's dual role more efficiently here.Until I get a chance to go to a store with my tape measure,I decided to add some hardware cloth to one of the supplied wine bottle trays for the eggs to lay on.Didn't turn out too bad,and it's holding a steady temp since I set it a few hours ago.It's almost impossible to see the digital temp readout above the door,but I have it set for 60 degrees which is confirmed by my small digital temp-rh gauge I normally have inside the Brinsea.I located an autoturner on e-bay for a reptile Pro incubator that I think will fit,,have to tape measure inside it tomorrow and see but if it will fit I may buy 2 of them and install here,still leaving room for one wine rack to be used for it's intended purpose

One purple is now pipped,and had a suprise arrival hatch out during the night,,from my IB pen,,.I'm no longer a big fan of IB but in my pen with 9 IB hens,there is an IB,IB B/S and a IB Pied male,,as luck would have it,looks like I hatched one from the pied male,,wish my luck was that good everytime when choosing which eggs to incubate.
