How many do you have in the incubator?
I am trying to stay with just banties, quail and ducks but there are so many pretty standard breeds too!!! I guess I am a hatch-a-holic.
I've got some java, Blue bantam cochin, sumatra, australorps due on the 3rd. Only 8 of the original 12 eggs still exist (the other 4 have disappeared...
) hoping most of the 8 hatch, since my last batch of 8 has (i think ) ended with 2 peeps, 1 dead pip, 1 dead chick, and 4 cold eggs...
I have 41 eggs of mixed chicks in my bator. its my first time hatching and I think after candling them I have about 30 fertile. Mine are due to hatch the 15ht or 16th
LOL, Annarie, well, my INTENTIONS of being done for the year go right out the window!!!
Though right now as I think I mentioned, I am concentrating on various banties(especially cochins), quail and my ducks. I am supposed to be getting some more duck eggs next week. I thought I wouldnt incubate any more duck eggs this year but I had my ducks down to the number I wanted, then lost two little ducklings because the brooder light went out while I was gone.
So back to the drawing board.
The ones that I am getting are Indian Runner/Magpie(is that right? sort of like anconas I think?). I might get from another place too, just waiting to see.
