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.
Smoking the Beef Brisket. Take the brisket out of the refrigerator one to two hours before you want to put it on the smoker. Place the brisket fat side up on the smoker. The fat will render while cooking-it basically melts and releases oils into the brisket to help keep it moist while cooking.f you are cooking the brisket at a temperature between 225 and 250 degrees, pull it off the pit and put it in a cooler for 2 hours when the internal temp is 185. If you are cooking hot and fast (around 325 degrees F), which isn't discussed here, pull the brisket off the pit at 200 and put it in a cooler for 2 hours.
