I was talking to someone who kept misspelling Bresse and I kept stressing the correct spelling... they NEVER picked it up... :/
 
:sick thats extra annoying because on the GFF site they give soundbytes of how to pronounce as well as spell :/ :hugs

*pssst* PPP= puff, puff...


I think the worst part was they kept stressing French as well... unless they are raised the same as the French do, they aren't French... :/

*yeah, yeah... I got it... OH recognizes that quicker than me... :oops: *

I'll set them and let you know.  :)

As long as the shell consistency is good (smooth, satin finish, high fertility, yolk size proportional to shell volume) then I would not hesitate to use them.  It is easiest to get a consistent hatch out of similarly sized eggs.  I'd rather set a tray of consistently small eggs than a mixed tray of pullet, bantam, large, and jumbos.  But I do that anyway.

You can expect the chicks to pip day 19 and hatch on day 20, so I'd lock down a day earlier too.  I do that by air cell rather than by date to account for incubator variations.  As soon as the liquid remaining between the chick and the air cell is 3/16" or so, I move them to the hatcher.



That's right at about recommended size or so... I give mine about a month before setting, sometimes I gauge it on approx size compared to what they should be laying at full size...

For large egg layers, I think it's about 46g or bigger...

I've had some start laying at a decent size, my Am's, right away... and had others that took longer before their eggs got bigger than peewee/small size... if they look decent, then go for it... really it comes down to personal choice... :)


Sweet! I knew I'd get knowledgable answers. I've got some shipped eggs coming in two weeks and it's taking some serious restraint not to set a batch now. But since I only have one incubator, I better wait. I'm getting over 20 a day right now, so I could fill may incubator pretty quickly!

Nah... it's more fun to be the perpetual thorn in your side... :lau
