I am downsizing my flock and will be selling all but a few of my birds. This is a great opportunity for someone if they want to get into raising genetic hackle / flytie birds. I will be selling all as one lot. $1,200 for all the birds listed below. ( I know that seams like a lot but I have...

I have to many birds and not enough room for them all so I am selling some of my birds. I will be selling them at $100.00 each. Your pic, take 1 or all for $100.00 each. I have 22 young ones. 3 months old. They hatched on 6/21/2014. Mostly grizzly color. As close as I can tell there are 9...

No. If they are alive they should be moving around. If you candle them you should be able to see them move around and hear them pipping.

I personaly would give it another day to give them a chance. I have had some hatch up to 2 days late. Sometimes they will die in the shell just before hatching, I don't know why. My last batch that hatched had 3 eggs out of 40 eggs that died in the shell just before they hatched. Good luck...

Very interesting thread. I learned a lot. I only have a few bushes that have been struggling to stay alive. Hopefully next year I will be able to revive them with all I have learned here. Thank you for all the info!

Very cool! Looks like it works great. I will have to keep that in mind for next summer.

Looks awesome! Wish I had the know how to build one like that.

I do some tying when ever I get a chance. Here is a picture of a couple of my birds. They are only about 1 year old in the pic.

That looks like a sweet incubator. You should try and use it!

Here is a picture of mine from a few years ago. I have modified it a little since then but it works great. My 2 youngest watching the first eggs hatch.

What a happy suprise! I agree with the above post. Good luck with the little chickies! Post pics.

We usually fish on the opposite side of the state by Ludington. Durring September the Salmon fishing is good and in October & November the Steelhead fishing is good. Hope your brother catches a lot!

I was afraid of that. That is the incubator that I was using when I lost my whole batch. It is up to you if you want to give them another day or so. A freind of mine has one like this and has decent luck with her hatches but she modified it somehow with extra fans and added extra water for...

Unfortunatly there are a lot of things that factor into a successful hatch. It may be the humidty was to low or possibly the heat was not queit high enough. I once lost a whole incubator full of eggs due to the humidity being to low. What kind of incubator do you have? Sorry to hear you are...
