Thanks for the replies everyone. I will take them out tomorrow.....Keeping my fingers crossed! The kids at school are going to be so excited!! Tink

Morning....I started eggs on a Wednesday afternoon and added more on Friday afternoon. What would be the best day of the week to take the eggs out of the turner? Is there a happy medium? Thursday is day 21 Thanks Tink

Have a question..... I put eggs in an incubator on a Wed afternoon. Then we added more on Friday afternoon. When do you think I should take them out of the turner? Is there a happy medium? Thanks

Morning....Doesnt seem to be an egg...at least I don't think so. Her bum looks fine and I can't feel anything. They are on a good diet and I give them DE with their food so wouldn't that take care of worms? It is dark out and I have to be at work early so I will have to check on her this...

I posted on here...maybe you missed it. He turned out beautiful. I gave him to a friend from school who has 3 children and they are just getting into chickens. Her son wants to maybe do some 4H shows. I think I have your phone number somewhere...I can text you a picture of him. I have never...

Red Bug...... I wish you lived closer too. I would love to get some of your eggs to incubate. I work at a preschool and we incubate eggs for the kids to watch. I was going to get some from Joycats but we never got together. I need to contact her again. The children really love coming into the...

Susanne...Sorry about the sting. When I was a kid I always thought everyone swelled up like a balloon. It wasn't til I was an adult that I realized my swelling wasnt normal. I probably should carry some kind of anti swell thing...but I don't. Never had trouble breathing.....just blow up like a...
