My eggs shipped!

What! So Bo might be a girl? Are any of the LO's going in the nest boxes or acting like they are ready? I don't even know how pullets act when they are ready. Lol

I have one LO that has good redness in her comb and wattles, but they don't appear to be ready yet... I'm at a loss...

I wondered if u had missed it

i set 31 of uncles nasty mix breed pekin eggs. Couldnt hold out any longer. I swear i didnt intend to fill the bator BUT...
Thats why i bought the brinsea, heat spike in an LG killed off 18 of these same duck eggs. I found my brinsea adv 40 on CL for 250$, i intended to build one until it came avalible.

So listen, this incubator clicks each time it changes position, like 300 times a day, and it worries me! I know i looked at reveiws before i bought it and people said the turner goes out on these big uns. I think they use the same size turner motor for all the octogons and yea im WORRIED... Please Please dont make me go back to the alarms on my phone saying "GO TURN EGGS!"

Oh my....

Oh, ok. Thanks for the recap. My turner doesn't click like that yet. I hope you don't have stripped gears, but as long as it is turning I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe the gears are just dry. The Brinsea manual does say to spray it with WD 40. The good news is you can get a replacement turner. The bad news is it will cost more than half of what you paid for the whole thing...

Ok, the first egg in the top row is my normal GC egg, The rest of the top row are ones that I assumed were laid by Daisy, one of the silkies. Single egg on the bottom row was the one I got yesterday, and the last 2 are today's eggs. Somebody take a guess...

All three on the bottom row look an awful lot like Silkie eggs, but I refuse to make any more guesses on those two androgynous birds of yours

sometimes he pops on at night with the girls he has a lot of work during the day and can't post unless he has a break and then he starts at the back of the thread and works his way in so he replies to the posts in descending order and after he does all of that then he will tell the end of the story hopefully he will get to finish it before he has to go back to work unless we can get a rain day on rain days he has more time and might be able to finish the story in one sitting after making funny jokes about the other posts he's read I like that guy

Almost ran out of breath reading that one!

I read the "parade for retiring w the chickens" and forgot to quote it...

A lil bit about me...

I cant work yet. Trien to get there. i went insane on my last job. The poultry in general is my therapy. Without the birds i wouldnt have the desire to Live at all anymore. I was my grandmas caregiver, but i had to put her in a home because i couldnt ever get enough time off to unwind. I was SO up tight that i attacked myself repeatedly leaving physical scars. I was almost hosptalized when we lost her, only 4 months after i gave up. It was literally my care keeping her going, not just alive but Living. Grandma suffered alzhiemers as well as a dehabilitaing stroke. I taught her to play the piano and walk again. I hated myself for my weakness and for giving up on taking care of her, for a long time. now days, mostly im just thankful we had that time togther.

All of the bottom ones look exactly like silkie eggs! The top row ones look bigger then silkies but they were laid by a silkie?
