Second shot - Using my own eggs - Hatching buddies?**LOCKDOWN**

[Goat_Walker]

Ok, well my first time at incubbatoing was a total failure with half not being fetrtile and the other half either haveing messed up air cells from shipping or they just went bad.


So Im giving it another shot , using my OWN eggs.


Right now I have 9 eggs placed in date 9/7 - 12
10 eggs that I put in yesterday 9/20
and I have 7 eggs i put in 9/24


All the eggs are Magpie and cayuga crosses and Buff crosses. The only problem I might have is if they arent fertilized because My new drake prefers the buff and buff crosses . Im pretty sure that most are fertile though.


So Ill keep you all updated when I candle every 3 to 5 days. Wish me luck and I need hatching buddies!!!!!!!! And Im sorry I havent gotten candeling Pictures up, ill try to tonight or tomorrow.

I set my on the 21st. I decided to use my own right from the start to get it right, really dont know what will happen I made alot of mistakes to begin with will see what happens by day 7. I have started collecting just in case. Ive never done this either. But really plan on getting it totally right. Good Luck.

Good luck to you too! I have room for a little over a dozen more of my eggs, im just hoping that my boy has been doing his job!

Hi goat...I hope all your new babies hatch.

I will be giving my first attempt at egg incubating as well in the next week. My incubator (brower top hatch) will arrive tomorrow. I will be receiving my fertile mallard eggs in the mail next week. Heres the hitch...my first try will be attempted in front of 7 developmentally challenged jr high students. There is no room for failure on my part...What is the best humidity and temperature? ive heard humidity everywhere 50-86% for the first 25 days and then up to 60-95% for the last 3 days. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. Any of the little tips that you wish someone would have told you on your first hatch would be helpful...

I just put 6 turkey eggs, BBS Orps, golden Sebrights, and some Seramas in this am...Good luck Goat_Walker! Are you planning on candling?

 

[Goat_Walker]

Ok! Well I have due dates!!!

I have 2 eggs for the 10/7

2 due 10/8

2 due 10/9

1 due 10 /10


The reason these dates are like this is i was at a relaitives for a few days and instead of placing hte eggs in the eggs basket they placed them straight into the bator

But I do hav 10 due 10/18

and 7 due 10/22

I've got some rouen and pekin eggs due to hatch the 7th and then some welsh harlequin eggs due to hatch the 9th.

I placed 10 eggs from my female rouen mix that I found after I lost my wonderful pekin drake to a suspected hawk attack. So I am with you
