these were all shipped eggs, and the Rcom seems to be working fine (i didn't open it much during the incubation, just once to candle around day 10) -- the ones that hatched, all hatched within a day of each other.

and i don't want to hatch just random eggs, i only want to hatch the breeds i'm trying to get established -- in the spring i should have some marans eggs and silver campine eggs of my own to try, and hopefully they'll have better success. in the meantime, between my first hatch and this one i have three splash isbar chicks, one of whom is definitely female, the other two too young to tell (and they are from two different sources of eggs, so should have some measure of diversity) -- and i already have a teenaged blue isbar cockerel (from yet a third source), so once they all grow up i can start hatching my own isbar eggs.

I was just suggesting that to make sure it was running correctly.
I hatched a bunch of olive eggers to make sure

Make sure any air vents are completely open, especially after the first week.

You were hatching tough breeds too so Good Job!

the r-com has vents that stay open which is handy

I have a brand new Genesis in the box with a brand new Spot Check incubator thermometer, insurance replacements, that I may not use for years. Sigh. No need. Have too many birds now because since my hatchery hens are gone, the others are living longer.


Oh, every shawl on Blue Roo Creations is on sale thru November 18, ladies. And if you buy more than one, you pay shipping on only the first one!

Not much better. After the first 2 days of treatment the swelling seems to have gone down a little but not much change otherwise. That protruding lump at the center of the iris is just so weird.

Wish I had something to offer about this situation.

Oh I was hoping it was doing better. I'm sorry.

Mornin' everyone. Sure is quiet.

She's looking better today! Again I see a reduction in the swelling, and the "lump" at the center of her eye is nearly smooth now. Also the eye is a milky gray instead of solid dark gray. I'm guessing she will be blind in that eye when it finally heals. I'm really thinking this was an injury of some kind.
