The Pita Pinta Asturiana

I know!

The pdf I use now has the correct packing in it. Meeks removed all of his shipping information from his website too.

Their website only has the opening page on it now.

these are the most adorable chicks i have grown out so far. I can tell Trinkets Grandbabies even without the bands as they have fluffy yellow legs. lol.

My crosses are hatching better than the Pita. Several upsetting deaths with them hatching and breaking their yolk. Their little tummies are not full and they dont last long. I just dont see why this is going on. Another little batch in the mini tonight. So It is the cooling cycle that I dont use for the first week?

The cooling cycle is from day 8 to 18. It should help with the yolk not absorbing. As always, make sure that your Brinsea spot check(If you do not have one buy one) thermometer has fresh batteries and that the incubator is set at the correct temperature. 99.5 to 99.9 seems to work well here.

Hybrids often do better because of the added vigor.

I have 6 pure PPs in the incubator so I will see if mine are hatching well this year. They did great last year.

Got it. I just really like how easy the settings are on the advanded. I am grateful to at least have pur ch ased the mini! Thank you for the encouragement. I also am wondering about finding a hatcher that is not Styrofoam. Everything I have read on is not very cost effective. I did see a small cabinet hatcher on Amazon without a turner that looked tempting. Mother's day is aproaching...lol

You could build one--there are lots of plans out there. The incutherm kits make it easy too.
