Thanks so much for explaining this to a city boy like me. I was told since kindergarten that fertilized eggs were inedible! Just goes to show how little the population knows about the food they eat.

Son, I swear, you answered every question I had. I owe you a shot and a beer. Thank you. My rooster is always Bow Chica bow Bow. Truth be told. I'm a little envious of him. I eat eggs everyday. My wife, came out and asked what do you want for breakfast. I said eggs. She said, for 27 year's you have eaten eggs everyday. Everyday for 27 years. Don't you ever get bored and want to eat something else? I said. You don't know how bad I do. I'm glad I insulated the chicken coop.

Bow chika wow wow! You're a cool dude. I could imagine you as a Science teacher.

Obviously a lot of the city folk that watch these videos don't have clue. The biggest problem I've had with a cheap incubator is the egg turning. No matter what it costs unless you want to do it by hand every couple hours like you said, pay the money to get one that will reliably turn the eggs. This is very important. We just had 24 turkey eggs not hatch because the turner quit working. Good info, I liked the video.

i lost it when he said "hatching eggs, don't omelet"

I like the chika chika wow wow action part. Next time I am going to call my action that too.

Lol eggologist, I like how you add ologist to just about everything you are talking about. love the video God bless.

"hatching eggs don't omelette" hahaha!!! Great vid!!!

I love it. Quite simple and straightfoward. All my questions were answered!

Bow-chica-wow-wow going on in the when house! LOL!

Bow chicka wow wow oh Lordy you are fun to watch, and while you might not be an "ologist" in anything on paper ~ you are an awesome homestead-ologist in my book.... Thanks for the info, and laughs ~ Stay Blessed, The Prepper's Wife

Not an expert at anything but always gives the best advice. Like your videos.

not to get off the subject, love the curtain rod kitchen utensil holder.....got my incubator for Christmas...finally, doing all my research for hatching..thank you!

From a family that has raised their own food, my folks (are in their 80's) use to candle eggs instead of judging by sight their layers versus cooking eggs. Personally I just use them all for cookers.

Great information. Thanks for making me laugh after a long day at work.

You're knowledge is amazing! Thank you!

Good info John! Take care and God Bless, xxx

this vid was 5 days ago and just showed up in my feed also--- cant wait to see the new hatches--- love ya huggs....

Them is some serious serious working hands 😮

Good Info Jnull! and Good Luck on a great turnout! Have a good'n

Another great vid, with Johns humour added for a smile or two. :D

thanks so much! its my first year to raise chickens. im raising austrolorps and im just loving it. I want to harch more because there are no local breeders for them.

Great video with lots of information!! Thank you!!

Solid video. Answered questions I couldn't find in other videos

You crack me up...........thank-you for the useful info.

Good starter video for hatching. If you have the proper bedding and nesting boxes you won't have dirty eggs. I hatched out 100's of eggs, chicken, duck, geese, guinea, turkey and quail over the past 30 years in W.WA where it rains 9 months of the year and never had a problem with washing dirty eggs and hatching rates. Wash the eggs if they are dirty and you will be fine. I did a spring-summer of hatching to see how far out I could go with eggs and abuse them and still get a good hatch rate. 2-3 weeks in storage was 80% hatch rate. I stored the eggs in a portable fridge at 42 degrees and didn't turn them at all. I pushed the storage rate to 5-6 weeks and still got 50% hatch rate. Farthest out I went was 7 weeks. The proper nutrition of the hen and rooster has much more to do with your hatch rates than how you handle the eggs. Get good stock to start and you will get good hatch rates.For under a $100 Little Giant incubators are probably the least costly way to hatch. You won't get 70-80% hatch rates every time, but who cares at that cost. Buy a couple cochin hens and not worry about hatching and let the experts do it......:)

Good video! very informative! Thank you 🐣🐤🐥

This video answered so many questions I had.

I can only imagine his birds and bees talk to his kids

LOL you are a trip! Really enjoyed your video :)

Thanks man! From Corsica, France.

Just candled my first incubated eggs! I'm so excited to see the tiny movements. Soon I'll be up to my neck in chickies! Good luck on your hatch!!!

That was really interesting thanks. Happy new year to you and your family.

Thank You for the Video. So I've been separating the pointy eggs from the rounder eggs. The Pointy eggs are 5 for 5 Rooster and Round Eggs 5 for 5 Pullets

great video, keep it up

Great video thank you!

Great video, very informative. I haven't incubated eggs in many years. A fox killed all my hens and my favourite rooster last week so I'm going to incubate their eggs and pray I can get at least one chick to keep their memory alive.🐤

ty so much for this informational video

Very cool vid buddy

Bow Chicka Bow Wow! LOL! Eggyoligest John your cracking me up. Keep these helpful videos coming. Peep Peep

i luv this guy

We just got four new chicks to add to our four chickens but no rooster yet. I'll have to get a good incubator along with our rooster later this year. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for posting your video.

Good vid,John..

thanks sir this really helped

great video. thanks

Thank you for the information

Have have my incubator since high school.

Thank you big man, it was informing.Please make a video on how to tell if eggs are fertilized or not. All the best.

jnull0 LOL Ohhh my gosh you had me on the floor with your bowchika wow wow.. HAAA.. Greattt .. Now I have a tatooed vision of chicken love in my head YUCK! hehehe

I think you qualify for a eggyologist certificate.

I had to give you a thumbs up on the video thank you

Thanks for your information. Rhonda

Good video bro 👍👍👍

Someone fractured my acr joints (separated shoulders) in my 20s. When in my 40s, the rotator cuffs started to shred from the original injury. One of the preliminary exams for pain was raising my arms just the way you did when you felt pain. Also pain during the movement mimicking "pouring a soda" at chest level, is an indicator. I eventually underwent surgery when my left rotator cuff ruptured completely and I could no longer move my arm. If your Dr. suggests surgery, it will help with the pain the the recuperation is hell. Think back to whether you've ever fallen forward and braced yourself on that arm, which is another indicator. When the doctor went in he said the fractures were too old and arthritic to repair. Waited too long and will suffer from shoulder pain for the rest of my life. Take care of it sooner than later. And there is a lot of information online regarding that pain. Having told you all of this, I hope I'm wrong. Cuz it puts your arm and shoulder out of commission for about a month.

Thanks John, I needed the laugh. Nothing like good ole chicken love! From the poop on your eggs, it looks like you need to deworm your chickens. Also, you can tell a fertile egg when you crack one open, just look for the bulls eye on the yolk. Solid white circle - not fertile, bulls eye - fertile. After I see that the eggs are fertile, I start saving them. Luckily, I have a rooster that really enjoys doing his duty! LOL

We miss you. Hope all is well for you and your family.

Lol love the video 7 years later

Thanks John.

I know wild turkeys lay an egg a day for 10-14 days before they actually sit on the nest to start incubating. Their eggs are exposed to whatever the outside conditions are day and night till she starts sitting.

As usuall john great video good info. I do have birds but dont hatch my own but knowledge is a wonderfull thing. Enjoy all the vids set to do some italian beef sandwiches this week cant wait. Ive been abusing your bread recip. The family loves it. Keep up the great work. God bless. Kenny

That's very helpful. I am hoping to incubate duck eggs soon and they can get very, very dirty.

Thank you!

Love your videos! Will you have any pheasant eggs for sale this spring?

Smart Man

Love your videos! You are amazing!!!! Just doesn't apply to ducks. Do you have a duck hatch video?

I wash my eggs before hatching, and had no problems. Plus the protective coating on the egg, called the bloom is what gives them their color. I got an incubator from Amazon for $75.57 that has a built in egg candler.

Jnull, your in the country my friend, its "Brown chicken brown cow!" not bow chikka bow wow. As always, another great vid.

I lost it at the Bow-Chicka-WaWa

Nice kfc

Hi jnull0 nice video. Green cup coffee cup

Hi Jnull0, new subscriber here, took a few times of hearing Bev mentioning you before I got the name and did a search. You have a good channel and good life going on there, at least I think so anyways, lol. Your subscriber count kept going up as I was watching a few of your vids and thought I should get on board. One question if you don't mind, you said the hens will lay eggs wether they are fertilized or not, Is there any difference in eating quality or anything else between fertilized and non fertilized eggs? Might be a stupid question but I just would have assumed the hen would have to be knocked up so to speak inorder to produce eggs so just wondering if there's any difference other than being fertilized or not. Thanks.

I have always been told that the eggs can be up to 10 days old and still hatch. ? good vid.

I’ve only ever hatched twin quail. Never chickens or anything else

great video. but i put mine in the incubator the wrong way. maybe they will turn out good

Colonel JNull sorry couldn't help my self brother I seen the KFC bucket behind you and thought it was kind of ironic your talking of breeding chickens and hatching eggs with that behind you was half way expecting to see you in a white suit and string tie at some point. lol

Great info, but we have 1 rooster and 24 hens. How do we tell which eggs have been fertilized because I don’t believe he’s, as you put it, bow chicka bow wowing them all?

"Boom chick-a-wow-wow".. is that a technical term?

Thanks! I want to try hatching some our eggs, and appreciate your information! My chickens are not hens yet, they are still pullets with a cockerel. Their first egg was laid back in mid. September (4 months ago) Would you say it is ok to hatch these eggs now? Or should the birds be older?

how do you know forsure they're fertelized? do you wait that week, then candle them? then stick them in the incubator?

Yep Mother earth news and several other sites confirm that more pointed eggs tend to be roosters, rounder more ovoid eggs tend to be hens about 75% of the time. This apparently isn't true for all breeds but it is in the larger breeds. Who NU? Do not refrigerate eggs you want to hatch. Jnull is correct store them at room temp not more than 3 days usually.

bao chicka wow wow :') dying

Congratulations, very good video but bro how can I produce more female chicks to develop my business? Is there any technique?

What incubator do you recommend for a beginner. I'm. Saving up to get me my first real one

thanks

Very interesting video. Can I use the eggs that I buy from the super market for this?

do you turn them while you wait? Or just in the egg carton until you're ready
