Ameracuna mine depends on how much room I have left.
NN EE depending on when they get here. 12


I think that's it. I'm going to try to keep it to 82 eggs is I don't have to add another turner or and turn, uh oh. Just counted and that is more than 82 without the amers...

I might have to hand turn some darn it.

Oh I know I still have a little brinsea I will put some of Laura's Serama in there that way they are split up if something happens.

I old my styro bators and other brinsea when I got the redwood bator.

Geez, people I couldn't keep up with the Mother's day hatch, and now I'm 4 pages behind on this one. I should have 180 hatching Monday and Tuesday. 50 hatching next week and in two weeks 42. I hope I get another big order before the 3rd or I will be setting some of mine for the auction. That is my out for my hatching addiction. So I can hatch as much as I want. YEAHHHHHHH

 

[yinepu]

ok.. here's my totals set

15 duck eggs
6 goose eggs

everything was shipped.... so it's probably going to be a mixed bag

My 8 Muskovy eggs are settled in to my new Reptipro

I was tentatively planning on moving them to a broody duck at hatch time. That should work, right? Assuming I have one of course. I have 2 Snowy Mallards sitting on infertile clutches now and broke 2 Black East Indies a week or so ago by throwing away their rotten eggs. I'm hoping they'll be broody again when these are due.

Good luck on the incubation; I never give babies to the adults as I have too many hawks and crows that would enjoy such a meal.

Sunshine went missing last night. We searched and searched all the favorite places to leave their eggs. NADA. Got up early and looked again, let out the drake Oreo and his other girl Almond, and they moved nesting hole to nesting hole. I contemplating setting the eggs I have .. but no second incubator. I'm feeling sad. How can I build another incubator . . . and then suddenly they changed directions and waddled right up to Sunshine with tails wagging. I was so happy to see her!! I don't know where she spent the night! But she was back safe!

Well I sat down and figured I would set 12+ lavender orpingtons, 4+ silver old english bantam and 6 more royal palm turkey eggs. Of course I will set some more of my own.
