Let them warm up to room temperature before setting them.Since this is a pretty active thread and yall are experienced hatchets can anyone tell me if I can set eggs that are cold when collected. It's like 20 here and when I collect eggs they're usually cold. Not frozen but cold. Would I be able to hatch them if they get cold?
Fertility also goes down when males are molting.Quote:He doesn't need the oysters - he has plenty of desire. I think he is just shooting blanks!
Walli, I read something about roosters needing the right amount of light....like hens do to lay...for max fertility. I will see if I can find it.
Around Day 7.Holy cow! It took me 30 min to catch up just from not being on since lunch.
When is a good day to candle duck eggs and actually be able to see something? Got 16 khaki Campbell eggs on day 4
1 pip out of 6 eggs I really need to make sure this bator is all set for the Easter hatch. I have never had this much trouble, lost 1 baby to the membrane drying out and killed one baby another was born so wet it took her 2 days to cool off....... I will never again use the small bator I will stick to my old trusty foam one. New technology my butt..... Praying at least the one little pip makes it out and hopefully we will get at least 1 more out of this..... Feeling bummed out right now
Quote: No, It was a typo.Quote:Ron! You raise mice? ...and move them in with the flock?Set up a series of grow out pens and move the hatched chick through them. The last place they go is into your flock at 16 weeks old.
Mice start in rubbermaid tubs, move to a brooder in the garage and then into a larger pen. When they make it to 16 weeks old or so then they move in with the flock or into breeding pens. You just have to time hatches so that they move through the system you set up.
I sell some of them and cockerels are processed.
oh good!I changed bators about day 18 because the little one kept messing up not even sure what the brand was but right now it is sitting in the dumpster outside LOL I have one that I love it is just bigger and I figured with a smaller hatch I would use the small one, NEVER gonna make that mistake again stick with what works.
My 1 little pip is starting to unzip and thank god I have 2 x2day old babies for her to chill with. I think she is gonna be fine.
Mornin campin! Not a big deal at all. I posted big to make sure I got everyones attention... lets blame CH for thatSorry @Sally Sunshine and everyone else. I guess I just don't understand why it was such a bad thing, or be considered a "disappointment." Was it stated in a rule that I missed?
Monin Miss Mornin Signs is mines I somehow lived despite the shaker temptations
now who would that be.
Good morning Easter Hatch A Long.
