I kept the temperature in the incubator a 1/2 degree higher with these eggs.It was a test to see if I would get a better hatch. Well Tuesday we moved the eggs to the hatchery.
Well Judy and Cindy did. George and I supervised.I found the thermometer was reading one degree lower and that's on the edge of cooking them. I was using this thermometer.
The eggs hatched a day early. I got a 70% hatch - I was hoping for 80%.
From the hatchery they go to the broader house.
They stay in broader house for four weeks.
.Then I put them out in the field in three different spots in recall pens.
After a few days I started releasing half of them. Then after a week I let them loose. Now when I take the dogs for a walk we find birds.
