Hatching
18. Stop egg turning 2 or 3 days before hatch is due. Return the incubator to its upright position.
Remove the egg dividers.

What breed of cockrel would you need ?

I have a light Sussex or a Maran that are about 14 weeks old you could have,

I'm just down the road in rotherham,

Any signs of pipping yet?

nothing as yet although have had a look at my dates and i think day 21 starts this evening if that makes any sense or difference... put them in in an evening so if we counting in 24 hours....... well...thats what I am hoping anyway cos nothing so far... :?

Paddywack... what size are the sussex or maran?... i have one lady who is THE boss, had a silkie cockrel that she just kept bullying so had to send him to live on a farm, so need something thats going to put her in her place!!!!

For 14 weeks their big, a lot bigger than i expected,

They are all fed a good high protein diet so they are as big as you can get for that age, and in good condition.

They are in with other cockerels so are learning to stand up for themselves, I’ve had them from one week old so the LS are quite tame the M a bit more assertive, let’s say .

They are surplus to requirements so I would like some of them to go to a good home.

a local breeder who has a cream legbar cockerel is coming to take my two cream legbars for a holiday to their place next week.

How long a holiday?
Coffee tomorrow? Then you can fill me in.............

Cockerels are not to be trusted and could seriously injure a child. I had a cockerel go for my son, when he was about 2, missed his eye by one inch! He'd always been fine with me, and my son wasn't doing anything to provoke him, nor was there anything else happening that might have upset him. Needless to say he ended up in the cooking pot.

The LS are great with kids, when you go into the pen they come to greet you even sit on your knee and if they get the chance on your head, the offers there if you need one.

It looks like the two you are waiting to hatch will be hens (as they are late to arrive)….sorry!

Any news yet, I’m down to biting my knuckles

TMG, I would love top have coffee with you but even though I would never consider myself southern (and take on anyone who said I was

) bit far to pop in :? . Could have a coordinated cuppa and a chat on the phone

chooknewbie · « **Reply #27 on:** July 17, 2008, 21:28 »
