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.
Once your smoker is maintaining 200 degrees, you are ready to place the brisket in the smoker. Smoke the Brisket. Place the brisket directly on the smoker grate with the fat side down. Maintain 200 degrees F throughout and keep the smoke going for at least 6 hours if you are not using a stick burner.nce your smoker is maintaining 200 degrees, you are ready to place the brisket in the smoker.
