@Auroradream26 Not a bad hatch Jess!!! you go girl!!!Hatch is over. 15 hatched out of 18 in lockdown. I'm happy with that
I'm wondering about the humidity being off with it as well. This was my first hatch with it. I basically got it for hatching Seramas since I'm having such a hard time with them. I need to check and see if it's off. I was really hoping for a better hatch with the Brinsea.That is terrifying AND frustrating.
You know, I was able to check the temp in my Brinsea with an accurate thermometer, but did not have an accurate enough hygrometer to check that. I had a problem with air cells developing too fast. And while the eggs (shipped) were certainly old with bigger air cells to start with, I found myself wondering a lot about whether the humidity reading was higher than actual in mine (I turned it to 70% for hatch instead of 65%, just in case). I've already ordered a calibrated hygrometer to check it with after this hatch. For you, perhaps it was the other way around (unless you calibrated?) I'm going to check/recalibrate once the eggs/chicks are out.
Paula was a solo chick for a while and was miserable and cried all night. I got her a mirror, and she snuggled up against it every night and chirped to it. That and watching TV with me held her until more chicks came...

Oh man TJ!!!! I am so sorry!!! dick hortsman has one type of duccles not npip though. awwwwww get that sucker!!!! dang!!!Sooooo.....Here's why I haven't been on here in awhile....
Finally got pictures of the darn cat. Bad part is, I'm not working fast enough to keep ahead of this problem and he tore up Tobin's porcelain d'Uccle pen and ate every bird!It's taken me awhile to feel like posting this news on here. I off and on have a USDA sniper camping out on a rooftop next to the pens so I can sleep, I have a lion trap set, and I'm trying to get my husband to agree to taking up the offer of an Anatolian to guard at night. The Dobermans are great during the day, but this cat is very wiley and tip toes in when everybody is asleep. I did not hear a thing when he killed Tobin's birds. I think I had gotten too sleep deprived and actually went to sleep with both ears and both eyes closed for a few hours....As it stands now, we caught sight of him a few nights ago, he had been climbing all over one of the Sebright pens..couldn't get a clear shot, so fired anyways just to scare him. I have not seen him since. Don't know how long before he'll be back. That's why I'm opting for a night dog. I need to sleep better and worry less. Can't watch all the time and can't watch the entire ranch.
That's what I've been doing! Also husband goes for radiation treatments every other day, but will be done with that next week.
I am trying terribly to find some replacement d'Uccles for Tobin....We will be getting some eggs from wonderful people who bought and hatched eggs from our birds. So eventually he will have some of his own bloodlines back. And one egg from the dead birds is in the incubator. They had just started laying and that' was the first fertile egg....If anybody knows any adults for sale please let me know.

I would not have a chick anywhere near a possum. The only good possum is a dead one.
Looks like I missed one. Better adjust the scope for a longer shot

Got lucky that he didn't eat the chick. Unfortunately, I'm a real sucker for "babies", so no way I could have killed it.Not saying that people shouldn't kill them ,just that I can't.

the last three leave tomorrow or Monday for my vet to cull. Then I have over two weeks to rest/clean the outside, and the only other ones are in a brooder that does not see me until I change, wash, and use antibacterial stuff. I only change their food and water, I don't handle them.
