EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

That is always a guess. Some stay twerps and you are better off picking them, others grow.

The tricky part is God never tells me which is which.

Last fall I came across a Hen, about the size of a softball. It looked delicious but was small. So I left it 3 days and came back to find a Hen the size of a softball that was dried out hard and wormy..


Good luck on whatever you do.



I should add, if I was on public land or a place others might stumble across it, I would pick it. I make no excuses or bones about being greedy on wild mushrooms.

If you continue like that ALL OF US will come to live next to you!
Do you really want that? :p


I am going to move when/if I retire. Paying close attention to weather comments.

Be calm, it isn't a Brain surgery, You don't have to be that accurate!
You did OK,
stopped turning is good
Did you reduce your temp to 37C?
You add water it is good
What are your humidity levels?
You need to be around 70%


I have kept my humidity high for lock down this time. 70 to 80 % no shrink wrapped chicks.

True I do have an advantage here. They have stayed small for two days now I'm thinking they are done growing. May only be a bite by the time they shrink down. Any advantage of leaving them for spores?

I rather doubt that as the mushroom is just the flower and the plant is already there, but that is a guess. Maybe your digging killed the plant. If you can call a fungi a plant.


You need someone with more knowledge than me to answer this for sure.
 
GOOD MORNING! IT'S MONDAY! THE BEST DAY .

Howdy! Thanks

lol this sounds like I wrote that! muwahhahhaaaa

Hatch update/question: I keep hearing lockdown day 18...it's 4 hours into my day 18 and I think my Brinsea time keeper is off. I know I put them in at 9:45 pm on March 22, but several tiny power outages later, my machine isn't flipping to the next day at that time anymore. I think it's because I didn't know to clear the indicator that the power had been out on the display. ANYWAY...I was just trying to figure out what to do when I spotted 3 little wiggles in the bator. I hope I did the right thing: gently removed them, took turner out, put hatch mat in, topped up water, laid them back in so they are touching. Does anyone think I've done it too early? I hope I haven't totally screwed it up. I was just afraid the machine would be turning all night with wiggly eggs which might be worse...??

Ugh!!! So stressed!!!
hang in there

, stop stressing, its their time to do their thing now, you have done what you can..... GOOD LUCK!!

I'm shocked.
I thought today was hatch day.



What are nighttime lows down in Hades on earth? Bet it doesn't even go below 60....
When it gets really hot here, 100-110F, it usually doesn't get below the 80s at night. No time to recover.
lol and I hate sleeping in anything above 70 I like a cool bedroom, I dont think I could make it unless I sleep in a pool! Guess I should stay north eh?

Good morning everyone.

You know I love your coffee shop photos. Maybe someday you can take a photo in mine. I will need better staff though. Chaos would likely kill the first whiner, and go to prison. Heather would smother the first person to say, "You know, I think you need to..." with her ugly cat.

My Kali is beautiful! I don't know why you can't see her beauty.

Thanks. The decaf is delicious actually. And correct no chain saw, but I knew you knew that.

Don't you roast your own? I used to think I could never drink decaf, until it became the only option. I still enjoy the scent of the real thing though!
