Sorry about the hatch rates & ruined bottles. Don't you want to see how one of them neat gadgets works?First Off, he seems to take after his Mother a lot,,,,,
On to the hatching..
I put 68 eggs in the incubator. I had a dozen or so quitters the rest were non-starters. Out of 176 eggs.
So Ms Vicki and I are have about the same hatch rate going into the hatchers 30ish percent.. Which is not bad for a winter hatch. I have had worse.
I had one turkey egg out of 11 that started...It quit too. So no bug eyed baby pictures Memphis..
I will have to wait and see what the numbers are after the hatch, but I am going to be forced to have an Early Feb hatch. I really wanted only one hatch this year. I could put some in today,,,,,,BUT I would not be enjoying life if I did. Even though these are my chickens, and I feed and care for them 95% of the time......and the WWD complains I have too many.....and I collectthe eggs...She sells them. She has some ready to sell, I think she said someone was coming for 6 dozen eggs. I could plant them today....BUT I fear the emasculator might make an appearance here if I did.
I ordered another bottle of Maraks vaccine. This will be the third bottle. The last two the post office has managed to ruin.
