The NEW Crazy 24hr AUCTION thread

[wolftracks]

FYI, I was skeptical about shipped eggs too, but I'm in TN and just got some from California and they arrived beautifully, very few with detached air cells even. They will go into the incubator today.

Please tell me those were from me! LOL

I get great hatches from both breeds, but do not guarantee hatch due to things that can happen during shipping and factors do to incubation. I do pack well to make sure my eggs have the best chance to hatch for you. I get them to the PO safely, but not responsible for their handling.

Wasson6Pack don't turn on the turner for at least 4 days. I've gotten a lot better hatches, even with wanky aircells that way.

based on some studies somewhere in the "diary and notes shipped eggs" thread by Sally Sunshine, it states that incubating without turning during the beginning of incubation is detrimental to the hatch and is likely to cause malpositions.

I have great success when I let them set on the counter for a day then place them in he incubator and turn the Turner on. It's better with the eggs laying on their sides in my experience, but I've also had good results with the Turner that holds them pointy end down.

Any time I tried to wait before starting to turn...I had HORRIBLE hatches. Just my 0.02
Sorry!

That's funny because everyone I've had do this hasn't had a problem. I wait until the eggs are at room temp and set them. This week is cooler, but it's been 100+ lately, which make sit hard to let them just sit. I used to just let them set and stick them into the running turner. I had horrible hatches. Ask anyone one here. LOL Now I get chicks, so I'm sticking to letting them go for a few days.

There have also been studies where there was no turning ever. Many people decided to stick with no turning, because the got better hatches. I've done a few of those and very low hatch rates. I do know my eggs though, and even fresh out from under these birds, I rarely start turning until day 4. If I have detached aircells, I'll move those to the bottom of the Sportsman for a few extra days if the cells haven't attached and start the turner for the others.

Since those eggs were from me, I want her to get the best hatch she can.

Those absolutely were yours! I got another set at the same time from AR that were good as well. The only thing I will say is that a few were a little sweaty. I don't know if that will affect anything or not. I let them set for a day then stuck them in the bator with the Turner on, because I didn't see this post before. We shall see what happens.

Side note, I think the post office, for all the stinking money they get paid, doesn't seem to have a brain cell employed. My last post office was amazing, Molly knew everything! Here, the lady dropped them off on my front porch, knocked on the door (which I hardly hard) and left them. They would've roasted in a couple hours if we hadn't been home, the sun was beating down. Then she placed the rest of my mail in the box, so I had to walk down there to get it. Its not that far, but seems weird. Didn't everyone know that eggs (no matter what they are for) don't belong in the sun?

I've got another auction. I have alot of broodies so I'm not getting alot of eggs. So this auction is for 3 SQ Splash silkie and 3 mixed color sizzles.

Bidding starts at $10 and S&H is $13

I got these eggs in the past 2 days. I'll add up to 3 extras if I get them by tomorrow. The auction is over tomorrow (thurs) at 8 am central time.

The hens laying in the sizzle pen are frizzled silkie partridge and white sizzle. Both these hens have been shown and I incubated just the partridge eggs and they all hatched. Well mostly by broodies. I have a white silkie roo in the sizzle pen. A white hen and a partridge hen have been shown. I didn't get a pic with the partridge hen and her ribbon but she got 1st in BV.

The splash that are laying are in a pen that has only splash silkies in it. The roo I got from Bobbi Porto and the hens are my line. The roo and 1 hen which was a pullet at the time have been shown. I plan to show more this year.




This is a bad pic of the splash roo. It was windy and we just got home from a 2 1/2 hour drive from the show. He wasn't wanting his pic taken.

The lightest hen is no longer in that pen.








Below are 4 partridge chicks hatched my a paint broody. The pic isn't very good. The roo and hen where attacking me defending the chicks. They are a day old in the pic


These where hatched last sept. Only 2 partridge in this pic. The one facing the left side is the darker pullet that is laying now. The other one is a cockerel pictured below,

The white sizzle has produced both frizzled silkie and sizzle. Pictured below




I have another one just like this in a brooder now.
