Having horses I'm a big fan of stall dri and now I'm a big fan of Tek Trol for my chicken stuff. My first hatch stank after a couple days of hatching just a stinky sour smell...Your not "supposed" to wash hatching eggs so I didn't I had an excellent hatch. I've been reading so much about chickens on this site and others I ran across an article from Fred's Fine Fowl's or close to that about using Tek Trol and improving his hatch I go get my gallon of it that I use for other stuff besides chickens and right on the label are directions for cleaning hatching eggs hummm I think well maybe I might try some time with my eggs well my turkey eggs came and they were just filthy there was no way I'd put them in my incubator so I did the Tek Trol wash really had to dip them many times to get them clean. Well out of 7 eggs 3 were clears and 4 hatched then I get my Black Copper eggs and there was one broken and on some of the other eggs there was gunk so I washed those now they were damaged and the day after setting them I had weepers but from 17 I hatched 5 so far best of all my incubator didn't smell until today just a bit and today is the 5th day since they started hatching. So I've been Tek Troling all my eggs and if they are good eggs they hatch if not they don't stink. I'm very smitten with my turkeys too they are quite the characters already.
