  • Hey y'all! I'm Oso excited! Chicken babies!
    Since we haven't hatched from our backyard yet, we decided to order some eggs from Meyer Hatchery. We ordered 20 eggs (5 Olive eggers, 5 Buff Orpingtons, 5 Black Ostrolorps and 5 Black Copper Marans).
    We put the eggs into our incubator, along with 11 of our own backyard eggs and patiently waited. About 10 days into the incubation, we opened them up and candled them to make sure we had some activity.... and we did! Nearly all of the eggs had a chick!
    We sealed the incubator back up until day 18, which we removed the egg turner and placed the eggs on the bottom of the incubator. We increased the humidity and 3 days later...... we could hear them!
    Nearly 70% hatch rate, from our back yard and from the hatchery.
    Join us, and thanks for watching!

    First Time Watching?
    -------------------------------------------------
    We are a large family with 10 kids ranging in age from 21-7. We homeschool live on a few acres in Central Texas. With our family size, we buy a lot of groceries, so expect several once-a-month grocery hauls at the first of every month. On our farm, we raise great pyrenees, a handful of livestock animals and tend to a small garden. It's an adventure, and still new to us. So join us! Sometimes we succeed, and many times we don't.

    Thank you for posting this video. I got to enjoy watching it in the background while preparing documents for taxes. Getting to see these beautiful new babies made that tedious job seem so much less of an unfun drain of my time. They're beautiful and they looked very, very healthy.

    Orpington, Australorps are natural incubators. Perhaps two or three hens for breeding and hatching naturally. Just my opinion.

    Where do you store your eggs while you wait to collect more to fill up your incubator. And when you put them in the incubator do they all grow equally at the same time? Since they were laid different days apart

    • @OsoFarm
      @OsoFarm  11 місяців тому

      I store them on the counter for up to 10 days. Once they are heated in the incubator they all start developing at that point at the same time. It’s so amazing to watch! Good luck

    That’s the same incubator I just bought. I got 19 days left. Not sure if I like the incubator or not. The little silver motor on the Turner get severely hot. Worries me it may catch fire. Does yours get real hot to touch?

    (Terry of KY) How many o f yours hatched and how many bought.I used to raise chickens,and I am finding that I want to hatch some again..I only want a few chickens, but my incubator is for 10 to 100 eggs.So I thought I would give so away to neighbors.I got to het busy looking for eggs. I AM 63 and nothing exciting in my life anymore. I am excited just thinking about it. I could buy chicks,but waiting f or them to hatch would be something to look forward to.

    • @OsoFarm
