Today's batch of Light Sussex

26/05/2026

28 cream Legbars in the Brinsea and 24 Light Sussex in the Rcom. Both are going to hatch within days of each other. Blue eggs are not mine. See which one gets the best hatch. Blue has advantage cos Brinseas a better incubator. Taking bets now.

Update: So day 8 for the CLb's, 2 infertile and 1 red ring of death. 25 eggs remaining. Weight of eggs was slightly lower than the ideal weight so closed the vent to increase the humidity.

Update: Day 8 for my 24 Light Sussex eggs. 1 infertile, looking at the shell it was very rough and probably should not have been there. 1 test egg was higher and 1 was lower for the ideal weight so left they vent for controlling humidty where it is.

Update: Had a 3hr power cut...

Update: 22 out 28, 11 female and 11 male.

Update: Had 15 Light Sussex chicks hatch considering how badly they were incubated ~I'll take that as a win and never use the RCom for Light Sussex again.
