It will take longer for them to hatch but it depends on a lot of factors as to how healthy the chicks will be. Be very patient with them at hatch.
I hear you. I had a chipmunk hibernating in my attic much of the winter. Right above the master bedroom. I've only bantam chickens & quail atm, we've plenty of field mice here as well but I doubt the birds would even hunt them. *sigh*
Now remember everyone, it's time to plan your expanded incubator space for next year so we can beat that total!Congrats!
OH no!!!!

Here are the results of yesterday's hatch using the Brinsea mini advance. Four hatched great, two did not hatch, and one hatched late and weak (is still in the incubator) to make five total.
The freshest of the eggs all hatched the best... or so it seemed. Two did not hatch.
look at that variety!!

That is one bad squirreltoo many to quote, but the bucket of dead squirrels started out because I had one squirrel who was just destroying EVERYTHING! he was like Midas but in stead of turning everything he touched into gold he just broke everything he touched, he destroyed my bird feeder, then as if an entire bird feeder of feed wasnt enough, he eviscerated the bag of birdseed- from the bottom... even though the top was open. then he utterly destroyed a bag of trash from my car. yes that might have been tempting since i do think there was some food in there, but i literally, cleaned my car, dropped the bag on the porch, backed my car back into the garage and went to get the bag of trash and he had already spread it all over the porch and front yard. and this was all in the same day. so- he HAD to go. I got him with my pellet gun and then thought it was a waste to just have one squirrel so I got a few more to skin out and get the meat from to make a pie. unfortunately after I got a few more, my daughter got a super high fever and i spent all day worrying and forgot about the squirrels.hence, the bucket of dead squirrels aka: perfect spot to lay eggs apparently. I don't think anyone needs to see a photo of a squirrel nestbox, but here is some squirrel damage:
Ok so here is a question: I just got a couple of Rcom incubators, and a friend said "they are nice, but people say they hatch more males" is this possible? i kind of dismissed it when she said it, but I just hatched norwegian jaerhons and I clearly have 1 female and 7 males. coincidence ? I always thought chickens weren't affected by the temperature, or else hatcheries would just use the "more females temperature" I am sure someone has answered this already on some other thread but thought i would get a quick answer here, plus they are cute and everyone loves pictures of chicks
Love them!!!!
That is a bummer!!!

ya that's the plan, they are in storage at the moment, and i haven't dug them out yetThree words. Metal Garbage Cans! I used to have a problem with mice in the shed I keep the food..not any more with those cans!
