I think so, too. Not calling any names, but this particular breeder has a very high demand for his birds...Waiting for the HRIR will be worth it! I hope the breeder comes through soon.
Yep...
Life sure gets in the way of catching up on this thread! Today I need to Metronidazole peacocks, splint a crooked toe on a Serama chick and trim a few horse's feet. I have a broken off cactus spine in my heal that has been making me slow and lame for a few days, so it's good to sit for a few and give whoever cares to read it, an update!
About Tobin's decimated porcelain d'Uccle flock.... For the Easter HAL we set 16 eggs that were kindly shipped to us from somebody else who has a few porcelain d'Uccles. Unfortunately, the air cells are all pretty messed up. I will post a picture later. A couple other people have offered to send a few eggs from birds that they raised from our porcelain eggs so that we will get some of our own bloodlines back!
This morning, the one and only egg that we had from the killed chickens, hatched!
@Sally Sunshine
Here he is, behind the Serama.
On the mountain Lion front....The new Guardian dog chased the lion over the hill a few nights ago and we haven't seen him again.....
They went that-a-way....
Here she is at her last ranch near the Mexican border. I don't have any pictures of her here yet....
What I had incubating....shipped Seramas. One from FL hatched and three from LA hatched. And two from here that I had in the mind reader bator with the d'Uccle hatched Thursday.
LA chicks
And my favorite silkied Serama that was from my last hatch....
And just for giggles, here's a picture of a couple peafowl following an egret around. They followed him all day!
to all! I hope I can keep up better during the HAL!

Day 21 and 11 out of 15 eggs are hatched, 4 lonely eggs remain in the incubator. All 11 are all fluffed up now and in the temp brooder box. this was my first hatch ever, and The one thing I will do different next time is, I will use a separtart box for hatching! I just hope I can get the smell out of the incubator! YUCK! Now I know why the video I watched used one for incubating and one for hatching.
Aww.No... and I'm suffering from empty brooder syndrome...
ummmm NOOk then, here's my answer, you asked fer it: Depends. Is the mouse a front for a human? (NO ) I'm not so sure about that. You said "MY LIFE STORY". Explain that, ja? :/
Are you VERY sure? It has been 3 whole hours.
X2!!Nothin sweetie, move along!
Wow, it looks so much better!!!BIG DIFFERENCE

Get off my lawn
I have both a Brinsea 20 Advance (with the pump) and an R-Com. Both had the same threatening language. Both were off in humidity, but pretty close in temperature (Brinsea was about 1°C low, but a full 10% low in RH% at pertinent levels). I had trouble with both hatches because of the humidity (despite trying to follow air cells - but then again, I'm new at this). I HAVE heard of them being pretty off in temp (though mine was not). You do need to check.
HOWEVER, don't just check with "any" thermometer or hygrometer and assume that's the "right" temp/RH% an start monkeying with the incubator calibration settings - get one you can calibrate and CALIBRATE it, then check. I suspect that language in their product info is because of issues where folks buy cheap inaccurate thermometers, try to "calibrate" the incubator based on that, and then have a catastrophic failure because now it's REALLY off. I went the easy yet pretty expensive route and bought a calibrated thermometer/hygrometer to check before this hatch (I have more resources than time at the moment). Check the calibration info in Sally's info - lots there, and lots of folk here who knowhow to do it.
What' I'm doing right now is just keeping the thermometer in there and leaving the incubator the way it is, but knowing that I need to adjust the settings. I may calibrate later, but I'd like to see more readings first.
Listen to Ms. Sally...
@Sally Sunshine , this isn't me - no geese or ducks here. I read this person's post, but I'm blanking on who this is right now - can't recall.
But I DO have an update: I just set 8 cream legbar eggs (all from Lissa) in the Brinsea. I'm stuck with Celsius (long story, software for the too-fancy thermologger is PC only, so I can't change it without getting Parallels software, which I don't feel like doing), so I am aiming for 38°C (a little over 100°F - per your advice), and about 30-35% RH (per advice for blue/green eggs). So, Brinsea is set for 38.5°C (and reading a solid 37.9°C calibrated), and 40% RH (and reading a solid 32% RH). All eggs weighed and air cells marked before setting.
(So, I'm actually part of the Easter Hatch-a-Long, I suppose! Couldn't set before noon because eggs needed to come to RT first.)
I am loving mine - it's just a non-stuck stove top one, which is nice, because there's no electrics or mechanism to get dirty or wet. NordicWare - rated well. Doing great! Last time I made waffles, I ate some and froze the rest, which is awesome - I can pull them out of the freezer and put them in the toaster - homemade Eggos!!!!!
Hey HEY Hey!
Oh, they probably will - at least mine do. Chick Days. Which is why I'm avoiding it - though I'm going to have to go get more chick feed soon... (Though there ARE sales on waterers and stuff, so there's that...)Off to Tractor Supply, sure hope they don't have any chicks.

Tell her the HRIR birds are getting rare and you need practice so's not to mess up when you're hatching their eggs.Hi, Mike! I'm past the point of being ready... but the wife seems to think otherwise. She's forcing me to "slow down" and wait to see if my HRIR project is ever going to transpire. The entire project hinges on the breeder's availability... so it's kind of in limbo right now. So am I...
Then come back & tell us how that worked for you
