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.
Beef brisket should be cooked low and slow at about 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature, you should expect to cook your brisket for about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes per pound of brisket.Of course, these are just rough time estimates that will depend on many factors. Check the smoked beef brisket's internal temperature every hour after it has been on the smoker for 5 hours. 2  You are looking for an internal temperature of about 185 degrees Farenheit before you can take it off the smoker.
