WHAT YA GOT SWAP Chat Thread

I got my Gold Laced Polish eggs with some bonus eggs, and they all made it so far. I cleaned out the Hatcher, and plugged it in. Once it heats up, I will move some eggs from the other cabinet to make room for the new ones. Thanks, Beth!

My Gold Laced Polish eggs from BHep are doing great. 7 of the 9 made it to lockdown - 6 have hatched so far and the last has pipped. One of them had a hard time, had to help out a little - shrink wrapped a little. They are so cute! These and my mystery swap eggs are my last till spring, so it is fun to go out with a good hatch

I got four BCMs to hatch from coopscoop. I seem to have trouble hatching marans so I thought that was pretty good for shipped marans eggs. Dont give up coop scoop it's not
your fault if PO scrambles them. Most of mine that I tossed didnt develop at all or quit very early so I think the air cells were compromised in shipping.



BAbymakes 6 I would love that pattern if you would be so kind as to share it.

X2 please

thanks Kristi and Peggy for the encouragement.....it just gets so frustrating to hear the eggs just aren't getting to folks and being viable

Just set 4 dozen more eggs, mostly buckeye and RIR. I need to grow out some buckeyes to replace the old girls.

I had 3 shipment of eggs THIS month... 1/6 hatched, the rest scrambled, 1/6 in lock down, the rest scrambled and 0/6 ALL scrambled. It is frustrating !! But then I have awesome hatches....like the last one, 17/20 hatched.

I guess it depend on who is handling the eggs the day they ship .

Would you tell me what is the source of your Buckeyes? As a 4-H project DD is going to start Buckeyes this fall for show and as replacement layers. A lady near me has beautiful SQ birds which we are getting 15 to start the flock, but will want some diversity eventually. Thanks

I think i fried my eggs! After i took out all the duds i forgot to check the temp, well, it turned into a furnace! 104-106 and i went out to my sisters and made taffy! (taffy is alright, a little too chewy for my liking) I candeled this morning...saw movement on at least one, so i stopped and hoped for the best, as i will be sticking with my see no evil rule of incubation (as long as I smell no evil, we're all good).
