I sent you a message Doug.
Barb thats fine. I am incubating all the time if you ever want more.
Jeff I bred them all winter, I have 2 thermostatically controlled ceramic heat lamps. Less smell in winter from thhe mountain of poop. Have to be on the ball in winter. They will die very quickly if they get cold.
No worries Barb.The normal ratio is one per 3 girls. The new girls are jumbos. Costa won't be an issue. Hopefully I can get some for you.
Jeff - I never breed in winter for that reason. Heat doesn't cause much grief. At worst, a quick spray of cool water.
Does the time of year make a difference with how successful the hatching is because in winter going to have a bigger temperature change and how do they go if get a heat wave..
I'm getting some birds on Saturday up the coast Barb. Want me to see if she has extras? After that, we can incubate together in mine. I'll even lend you my incubator once I teach you how to do it.
I am setting eggs on tuesday so they will hatch in about 3 weeks and they need to be in the brooder for two weeks. Anytime after that you can come and pick some. I just sell for the same price as their age. So 2 week old are 2 dollars, 4 week old 4 dollars. Just to cover the food costs. This is the wholesale price that I sell them to produce stores. This lot should be about 3 weeks old at christmas and I am home for 3 weeks hol at that time
I meant i could keep you some live ones after I do my hatch. If you wanted a quicker solution to an egg shortage
