hi all, my first time breeding poultry,i have never kept poultry before,a friend loaned me an incubator and brooder because I was looking for another type of bird to breed as I already keep finches,and wanted another interest,he also gave me 7 cpq eggs to put in the incubator,before I did I thought I had better look for information,i found the poultrykeeper forum while I was looking around the internet and thought I would read the site. well what a brilliant site, after reading well into the night(5am) I decided to apply to become a member,well after scouring the site for information I decided to put the eggs down and after 16 days I now have 5 lovely bouncing baby cpqs,the only thing I cant find is how long I leave the 2 remaining eggs in the incubator before checking why they didn't hatch,may be that they where clear, what are the thoughts of people on dry incubation until starting to pip, I can only say what a brilliant forum,i have already decided once these little ones are off heat I will be getting another 12 cpq eggs to see if I can achieve 100% hatch,at the moment I am one happy chappy,keep up the good work everyone take care.and thanks. ian
