@Sally Sunshine

Ok, I have a new update!!

Of the hatch for a friend eggs, I had 6 hatch

, 6 DIS

. I currently have 13 Salmon Favorelle and 13 of my silkie eggs going in to lockdown on 4/4. I have 6 EE and 6 backyard mix eggs from a friend, plus 13 shipped blue/buff Cochin and 2 of my silkie eggs set on 3/27. 6 shipped silkie eggs, 12 auto sexing EEs and 19 frizzled EEs set on 4/1, but I'm going to sneak 6 more shipped silkie eggs in too!! I'm still waiting for some more eggs that should arrive in a day or two. Not sure how many, or what kinds!

Incubator update - I realize that the Brinsea is the BEST for hatching, since the humidity is controlled by the incubator. I had such an awesome hatch rate!! I keep adding eggs to the one Brinsea I have, plus I keep adding eggs to my LG, I only have the death bator for hatching. I think I want to buy another Brinsea. I do not want a cabinet bator, and I do not want to build my own. Are there any other incubators that have anything that controls the humidity automatically besides the Brinsea?
on no on the DIS!!! good luck with lockdwon!!!

Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moon light! Someone's thinking of me, and not loving me tonight.
Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer.

WHERE IS EVERYONE? DO NOT LEAVE ME ALONE WITH MY THOUGHTS!!!
LOL you poor thing!!! I wish I could be alone sometimes with mine

Guess what I want to know is do you guys think IF it only seems to spike AFTER I hand turn them (for a few mins) should I stay calm&hatch on?
remember the temp will go up everytime the heat is on above, as long as it doesnt last too long your ok.



three hatched out that are happy and healthy. Day 24 no other pips seen or heard.
awwwww cuties, what do you think went on?
 
 

  30 years? And you still can't get it right? :lau     Somehow I believe you do your job better than fine.


Thanks Mike. Two year old management team is trying to bring up something that was stopped by the owners 17 years ago. The fun never stops around there. I'm hopeful it will just go away without the owners participation. Things could get ugly. Flying low for the next few weeks.

All the internet issues straightened out, 'til next time, anyway?
We been trying to keep the train on the tracks 'til the Engineer could get back on board.
 
I'm pretty mad right now, a fox decided to go into the baby chicken tractor and get all 6. Or at least I can't find any of them. The fox also got in with the big chickens and a couple I can't find, but 5 have come back. We shot at the fox but it ran.

morning Sallys thread, I have a question please. I had sticky chicks pretty bad last 2 hatches. Havent figured it out yet. Til, someone reminded me I am storing my eggs improperly . I was going to set them but I wonder if it is a waste of time ? I have had them in a basket on my counter top 10 days being the oldest without turning . My house is kept fairly cool. about 70 degrees. Would you set them ?

@granny hatchet I am sorry you dont feel good, I dont think your issue is egg storage for those that make it so long.... I think your fan is very large for that bator try a even higher humidity at lockdown. or install a dimmer switch on the fan if possible,



Also, how do I get a hen...who has gone broody before...to go broody again without wasting valuable eggs that I have a waiting list for? Lol
