The eggs will always hatch in the order they were laid. Usually after 18 days, the first fertile egg to be laid will get hatched and thereafter one egg will hatch every other day. Do not get alarmed if you see the mother pushing the chick to one side of the nestbox. This is done some times by the female parakeet. It is done to facilitate the hatching of the remaining eggs.
With the brisket prepared you need to get the smoker ready. You will want a fire of about 200 degrees F to 230 degrees F (95 degrees C. to 110 degrees C). At this temperature, you can expect the cooking time to be about 1 1/2 hours per pound.
as for smoking a brisket, preheat your smoker to 225 for at least 30 minutes, add smoke 2 to 3 hours of hickory or misquette, cook to an internal temperature of 195 to 200 F, it could take 5 to 10 hours, the Internal temperature is more important if you want it to almost fall apart.ake sure the vent is open and water bowl has plenty of water in it. Don't fret if the internal temp of the brisket stalls out for a while. That's not unusual. Don't worry when it takes a while for the temp inside the tower to come back up to your setpoint when you first put that cold piece of meat into it.
