Sounds good.

And I agree with emvickrey......... You HAVE to clean the hatcher between hatches. I have eggs in the hatcher non stop sometimes, I just take the 5-10 minutes to get it cleaned, even if it is just a quick cleaning. The Brinsea is plastic, so pretty easy for me. I use plain ol' soap & water, then I spray it down with Tex Trol. Wipe it out and add water & eggs.



I hatched 3/5 bantam cuckoo marans yesterday, today my eggs from from you, Jim go in to the hatcher.

Thanks to Deb for holding my hand last night with my sick chick, Puffers is my favorite and I get kind of stupid when my pets get sick. You should have seen the vet bill when my pug started crying and was in the downward dog position, pancreatis my a....just a sprained back. Anyway, people vitamins for a chick, who'd have thought. Her lets are still sticking out but her toes aren't curled or stretched out anymore. Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.

I agree. Deb is very helpful. She held my hand through my Dry socket and helped me to do other things to help heal it.

Puffers is one of your grandbabies. I wasn't sure about the silkie/SG EEs at first, but she is such a nice bird, I want a couple more just like her, infact I wouldn't mind silkies now if thats how well mannered they are...plus I think I could do with a broody hen or two, raising chicks takes some effort.

Awww.... I am so sorry. The silkies are just as calm. If you want more eggs just let me know when you are ready for them. I had 4 babies, but sadly I lost one and have these 3 left.

1st Chick:

2nd Chick:

3rd Chick: The only Barred I have hatched out.

I started my bator back up and am putting more of these eggs in to try to get more barred.

Beth they will be Olive Eggers. My Sexlink wasn't breeding when I got the eggs for this one. I have the Cuckoo Silkie/Turken on my EE/Ameraucana's thats how I got it. I have also gotten my Cuckoo Sg's from the Cuckoo Silkie/Turken by putting him with my silkies.

I found out that was who was laying in my pen was my cuckoo SG (my project). I thought that it was a roo but I was wrong.

its a girl.

 

[UncleTommy]
