vickichicky Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I have been so lucky with my first go at incubation! I borrowed an Rcom20 incubator, bought 10 eggs from the chicken seller round the corner (4 different breeds at £1 an egg!) and popped them in the incu. 21 & 22 days later out they ALL popped! (ok being totally honest... - I helped 2 out as it had been ages ). They have thrived - 4 Barnvelder, 3 Speckled Sussex, 2 Lav Araucana & 1 Lemon Pyle Brahma Bantam. I had an idea who might be boys, but being a novice wanted confirmation - so took them back round to Sue the lady I bought the eggs from. She confirmed the 3 had identified 1 Barnvelder (who I'm going to keep) 1 Speckled Sussex & 1 Araucana. So glad the little Lemon Pyle is a girly as my OH has already named her Fiona Feathers... (even tho the chickens are 'my thing' lol... ) Does any one else think this is a particularly good result? - 7 out of 10 girls and 10 out of 10 eggs! I'm so happy and love them to bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenewchick Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Congratulations yes, I would say so! I hatched 7 eggs I got three boys and three girls. You certainly have tipped the odds in your favour, well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer_chicken Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Well done Obviously we will be needed pictures though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickichicky Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Well done Obviously we will be needed pictures though Yes, I'm trying to figure out how to do that at the mo! Got them on flicker now (under Vickichicky74) - but can't get much further than that. Maybe I should have used photobucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atsw Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Maybe I should have used photobucket I'd say so. Photobucket has some great tools to quickly and easily provide the relevant links for forums (one click). You're not alone, I've always struggled with getting Flickr pictures showing outside of the Flickr environment. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
