I just got a delivery of some hatching eggs.
I was wondering how long do I let them rest before putting them in the incubator?
I was figuring tomorrow morning which would be about 12-15 hours.
Ok I want to crow a little (pun intended).
Here's my DD's results from our County Fair.
1) Sexlink Hen - Blue Ribbon - She's showing her age some (3rd year at the fair)
2) Ameracauna Hen - Blue Ribbon
3) Ameracauna Rooster - Red Ribbon - His comb is a little bent
4) Crevecoeur Rooster - Blue...
After way to many cases of Fowl Pox last year I decided to vaccinate my new Americaunas before I put them out with the rest of the flock.
So I bought Poxine and was ready to do it when I realized I wasn't very certain about the method of delivery.
It says to use the Wing Web Method.
OK what...
I just went to move the eggs to the hatcher and while candling guess what I found?
4 of the eggs where already starting to crack, 1 was internally pipped, and 1 looked ready to pip.
Only 1 out of the 8 eggs failed to develop.
It looks like I may have 7 new Black Runners coming in the next day...
After 3 weeks of intensive care, whatever had afflicted Droopy, one of my Bourbon Red Turkeys, finally succeeded in killing him.
We never could figure out what was wrong though we were given a lot of suggestions. He seemed to get better for awhile but then would start drooling again and finally...
