What kind of liability do they anticipate you facing when the parties involved own the equipment, buildings and pay for electricity used. All you are doing is providing the embryos. In cases like this, it is clear the schools' powers that be have no understanding. Perhaps the families will do...

I'm not sure why there is so much emphasis on numbers regarding relative humidity or wet bulb temperature. I'm going to jump in here and declare my belief that RH is not a set number. First of all, ideal humidity for one egg is not the same for the next egg. Each egg is porous but not...

You can always check craigslist. Your Dallas Humane Society may have one at their farm animal shelter. Most big cities have one.

Happy Belated Birthday. In my world, it is just another day.

You don't need a light. For millions of years, chickens have evolved on earth, meaning exposure to hemeral lighting. But keep in mind, that is only when the hen leaves the nest. When hatching is imminent, the hen will sit tight to hold humidity in and they will be deprived of light. Even when...

Is there a question there?

Thank you dear. You are so kind.

There are a bunch of you.

Again, to the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as LF silkies. They are pretty unique in many respects but in most environs, they are considered a true bantam. Silkies shouldn't be anywhere close in size to any of the breeds you mentioned. The largest males shouldn't be over 3 pounds...

Unless something has changed I'm not aware of, Silkies don't have a LF counterpart. They are true bantams. Over the years, judges have ignored the standards and started giving ribbons to larger and larger birds but the last I heard, silkies are still bantams - only. For reliable broodies, bantam...

Can you post a picture? Do you have more than one Pene? What variety? If the picture is good enough, I should be able to clarify the gender of a 7 month old. Sometimes I can identify sex by 5 to 7 days. but that requires looking at same age siblings from the same parentage. It doesn't sound...

Hi, I happened to check in just now. Sure has been quiet here.

I think in some small way, temperature plays a roll. A hen's body temperature is right for cell division to commence in the blastoderm begun as soon as a single sperm enters the blastodisc. In the ensuing 24 hours, that white spot continues to grow imperceptibly. The older cells begin to die off...

I agree with the replies. There is no way for a bean to get into the ovary, infundibulum or anywhere else in the oviduct for that matter.

After looking at hundreds of blastoderms and blastodiscs, I still have trouble but if I had to bet, I'd say they were fertile.

Since you have been doing the due diligence and doing the rotation, the only other option is a better, different incubator. A short-term fix would be adding a fan. That will eliminate most of the hot/cool differences and especially thermal stratification. Aside from all that, another issue with...

Never trust a thermometer or thermostatic control. Chances are better than not, they will be inaccurate. Even if close, it may not be close enough for incubating. Unless you know exactly what the temperature, you are at a loss on how to proceed. I know of 3 extremely accurate thermometers that...

I believe very little of that is true. While the end result of government regulation may be mixed, there is usually a good reason for government instituting regulations. In the case of NPIP, the US was in danger of losing the egg and poultry meat industry due to pullorum/typhoid. The regs and...
