So today at the elementary school I drive school bus out of, where I donated 18 eggs, the teacher comes up to my bus. She tells me she has seen no veins at day 7. And then says "are you sure they were fertile." My response was they were definately fertile I have 4 roos with 24 hens. I guess she doesn't believe me
Then she said she was gone for a couple of hours and the temp spiked to 125F. I asked her how many hours and then she said when she last checked it it was 99.5 and she was doing testing yesterday so must be the temp was at 125F all night. I told her the temps being that high definately killed them.
It just irritates me to bits when someone accuses my product to be infertile when after questioning her she was the one that caused the problem
I guess to her i'm just a bus driver and a dumb farmer. But in reality I'm more educated in life sciences than she could ever imagine. And I can handle 55 kids with my back turned to them driving a 15 ton school bus.
I will bring more eggs tomorrow and hope they don't get cooked.
On a good note my broody is now down to 7 eggs(she broke another) and I candled them last night, 5 were developing with lots of veins. I think they should hatch about the 17th of May, thats is just a guesstimate
