Who are you, and what have you done with Walnut?

that was funny!

So just curious, for large fowl birds, how big do you get let the eggs get before you set them. I have a bunch of pullets that started laying a little over a month ago (First ones started at Christmas, but I'd guess on average they've been laying for about 6 weeks). They are covered by two dark cornish roosters. Right now, the average egg I'm getting from them ways about 47-49 grams, so would be in the small/medium range. Do you think I'll have an increased risk of hatching complications at that size?

This is just my personal experience and it was with bantam eggs not large fowl but I hatched pullet eggs no problem. And they were definitely on the small side. The chicks hatched fine and were healthy. I read so many mixed things about it. I even had someone tell me that you can't set eggs until the hen is over a year old. I did a test batch and they were fine, so I kept hatching them.

My last hatch last year were my pullets'. I believe I said they had been laying 4-6 weeks? Most were decent size but I fretted over the silkie and polish the whole time. I think SC smacked me twice a day because I was fretting...lol Best hatch I have had so far and all healthy as can be.

For the Facebookers, I saw this today and loved it so I had to share. I LOVE the new emoticons for for the "like" button, but this makes it even better....lol

I remember that, smacking you every day, telling you not to worry, then I had a bad pullet hatch in January

Can't really blame that on the pullets, though. It was Johnny all along

This weekend I'm going to build him a privacy screen, buy him some candles, a Barry White CD, and a bottle of tequila, then show him some pictures of NNs and let him have at it

No, get him a Barry Manilow CD!!

He can get busy to "I write the songs that make the whole world sing, I write the songs of love and special things....."

Love the NN thing.....cute.
