2 Were Fertile!

Well 2 of the "Japanese Bantam" eggs were fertile on day 4, the other 1 I binned. They were growing great but on day 12 when i candled them i couldnt see one of the chicks moving, so im thinking its died, but i still leeft it in.
Last night I candled again and couldnt see any chick moment in any of them :( so im thinking i have lost them both, I still have them in the incubator and will till the 6th of August when they are suppose to hatch just in case, will update then.

Also 2 weeks ago Mags my magpie went for a wonder and never came back, the kids were devastated :( im just hoping he/she has found a mate and will live a happy life. We keeping calling and hoping.

Started incubating 3 Japanese bantam eggs

well yesterday at 11-30am i put 3 "japanese Bantam" eggs in to my "forced air" incubator, im doing this for a friend as he wants to know if his cockeral is fertile, the cock and hen are just over a year old,
Temperature is 38 and humidity is 44%
I will update when i candle them on day 4 ;)

And here they are today, 30th April 09, they are quite a bit bigger and have some feathers, all ive been feeding them iis chick crumb mashed with dog food, seems to be working great.

Ive Aquired Magpie chics!!

Apparently some boys had wrecked a magpies nest and dumped the chics, so my daughters friend brought them to me, they look as if they are about 4 or 5 days old, i've put them in the incubator and am feeding them chic crumb mashed with water. i will add some pics soon, so watch this space
