I said I was hoping to have what I want to set collected by tomorrow night. I was going to check in with you and see what your end was looking like and if there was a chance you'd be anywhere ready I was going to hold them a couple days, if not then I'll set. I dodn't start collecting until this Tuesday, so I'm good with a week until this coming Tuesday.

I will give you an update on Monday. No hits from CL yet, but I will bump the ad to the top Friday night and hopefully get some action this weekend.
These chicks really are gorgeous. The rooster is breeding well

Good idea on the clorox wipe. I'm sure you've all heard my 6th grade story when I was removing a couple of non-hatched goose eggs out of the classroom incubator, and one exploded in my hand. We had to evacuate the entire wing of the building for the rest of the day!

I'm sorry, I haven't heard the story.... would you mind to tell it again? Goose egg... I can't imagine! Ewww

Nope. They didn't hatch. Off they go.
Last weekend reaffirmed why I do this. I had a broody silkie walk out with her new babies. She had 3 eggs remaining, and as I was literally tossing them into the woods, one started cheeping loudly. Wasn't even pipped. Against my own better judgement, I peeled away the shell until I could see that the yolk was absorbed and the chick was not attached to the shell any more, it had just gotten too cold after mama hopped off the nest. There was no way it was going to kick free, so I totally hatched it and took it inside and set up the brooder. This was Saturday. By sunday I was making shoes for the curled toes. It was a sweet chick, but had issues, could barely stand, and only walked backwards when it did. By Monday it couldn't stand up any more. By Tuesday it couldn't roll over off its back, was constantly cheeping, and couldn't open one eye. I had to take it outside and cull it.
No, I didn't candle the other 4

Yea, I see your point. I was so afraid my psycho chick would have the same fate. But she (he) is doing fine now. Even growing big-girl feathers on the back of her neck where it was bald lol Man, I coulda had a showgirl! LOL

I'll admit... I thought it was hilarious! I have that warped sense of humor too...

I had to go back and edit to add the French accent line. That made it

Awesome. Did you even candle the last 4 for movement? I'm guessing not. I like your approach more and more every day. Although I'm not sure I could toss one without knowing for sure first.

I did toss a turkey egg that didn't hatch two days late on the last set, candle at lockdown looked like it was way too small...in the morning I found a perfectly formed, yolk absorbed embryo that should have hatched. I, too, no longer want to know if MOST of them hatched. I do want to know if most of them did not.

I agree. If I had a busted hatch rate, I would eggtopsy

Definitely the French accent..


Ok, seriously, I have work to do. Gotta go. Although my company is about to be sold, and I'll probably be out of a job in a few months....

Hate to hear that about your company. Hopefully you can survive the bloodletting.
