How can you tell if a Dux is deformed?

It's easy to tell. If it looks like a Ralphie, it is deformed and should be stomped.

Ok. Next week I think I'm going to keep 8 eggs to try to hatch. I'm hoping for a broody hen, but may borrow an incubator. Should take me close to a week to get the 8 eggs.

So far I have figured this....

1. Store eggs somewhere cool and dry, pointy-side down, turning them a couple of times a day.

Then what?!

I store mine on a table next to my incubator in a turner that is shut off... Not necessary to turn them. I haven’t seen that it makes any difference...

Dates for picking up would be 14/15 of April so she can set on a Wednesday and have days on either side of the hatch day in school. We’re going to figure out some homing stuff too for successful hatch see what those folks want.

I do but they are SLACKERS!!!!!!!!!! They haven’t laid yet and the pullets been squatting for months... The best I have from them is mutts right now...
