1. and farmers in my part of the country have suffered for the lack of wet weather……..Comment by sarge charlie – February 16, 2008 @ 11:40 am
2. A very good webpage indead very useful. But I would like to know about Chicken eggs and guinnea fowl eggs! only 2 of my 8 eggs i out in to incubate last time hached. So how can I check if the eggs i put in are fertile? Is there a way?Comment by Miss Joyce – March 22, 2008 @ 7:13 am
3. you need to “candle” that is,shine a light through the eggs after about a weeks incubation,when the fertile eggs should shoe signs of developement.it is important the light is a COOL bulb,but other than that,it is a fairly easy thing to do ,something most poultry books/information sites etc would fill you in onComment by bonnie – November 23, 2008 @ 4:26 pm
