I have only been hatching 1x per year the last couple of years and can't remember what time of day I set the eggs so that most of the eggs will hatch while the kids are at school. I am considering staggering the time of day that I put the eggs in so that there will be some hatching all day...
I have 2 sets of Welsummer Trios available.
Both Sets: Roo is 8 weeks old, 1 girl is 11 weeks, the other is 8 weeks
Can take pictures later to post of both the trios and the parent stock. ( you can see parent stock on my byc page )
Email or PM if you have questions!
I will consider...
I have 36 eggs in the bator to hatch in the 4th grade class at my boys school.....all bantam - should I stop turning earlier than day 18? I'm used to hatching standards and wondered if it was any different.
Looks like a little break in temperatures the next week or so. Can ship out a package of Welsummer eggs. I ship straight from the airport hub here in Charlotte & they are in an air conditioned building until loaded out.
All shipping included in BIN price.
PM me instead of using the BIN and...
No one outside the chicken incubating world would understand, but what is it that makes us sit & watch the eggs waiting for the slightest movement? I go check every little bit to see if any new ones are moving around.....walking up so carefully so that I know the movement wasn't made by me...

3 new chicks - are we girls?
**Note - the "gorgeous" purple and yellow bird was in from when the older one was by herself - if you can determine it's gender, that would be great***
Chick #1 - 1 week old pretty positive is a girl - do you agree?
Chicks #2 and #3 - 3 days old......are we...
Will ship out 1 more round of fertility test eggs from my Welsummer chickens. 6+ extras. They're a little off on laying with the heat, but I should have 8-10 available to mail out in the next couple of days. Beautiful Dark eggs. PM with any questions.

staggered hatch - yes, I'm crazy. Here's the story
When I saw that she was broody, I started at first trying to keep her from doing it, but then I thought that I could let her test a couple of my Welsummer eggs for me. So, I put 2 eggs under her ( marked them so I knew which one's I put...

They are just adorable, handled by me as well as...
I would like someone to test fertility in my Welsummer Eggs. I have just a couple of eggs under a broody D'Uccle mix girl right now, and they are growing nicely. Would like to have someone test a larger batch. I get 3-4 eggs daily from my Welsummer girls ( my ONLY Roo is a Welsummer, so these...
I have been finding half shells of eggs several times a week and had my suspicions about which hen it was......one of my RIRs was always hanging out at the nest boxes and running the other hens out. Since I was home all afternoon yesterday, I checked for eggs every little while....went down &...
