Lewis Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Good choice Lewis reeeeeally wants to hatch something next year, if the dinner chickens don't happen, might see if anyone locally need any hatching just so I can hatch them and they still get the chicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 You can always have my Inccy at your house for a hatch Lewis, it won't make any difference to me if its rocking away at your house rather than mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Don't tempt me I have the incy I made so'd like to use that again, but when you do start hatching again and wouldn't mind, I'd love to One of my friends hatches constantly and a pet shop buys them all from him, but thats down in London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom123 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Well... 6 Cream Legbar eggs 6 Wyandotte eggs, mixed colours including Millefleur, Buff Colombian. Oh and these from a friend... 4 Wyandotte eggs, sex-linked. Girls red laced and boys mis marked silver laced About to get the incy running Any tips for incubation please? Have read up but the first time is so scary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I didn't realise this was the first time you'd incubated?!? Well I would normally start with the wait until spring spiel ... but I know you'll keep them inside/warm ... bit late now anyway Have a gander at the incubation sticky Has the incy been left running for a few days? If not pop it on now, and leave the eggs to settle and set them tomorrow, so that you can set all the temp and humidity and get used to it. Then tomorrow turn it off, set the eggs and back on, so the eggs slowly warm up Any specific qu's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 I've incubated under hens and with a friends incy but she set it up and kept it at her house The eggs are arriving thurs/fri so will start it up in the morning? and check its all working and keeping at a steady temp etc. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Be careful with the egg holding rods in that inccy, its easy not to get them tight enough or make them too tight they crack the eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
