Think I overdid the humidity? It was at 70 steady last night and spiked at some point when the first two hatched.


Is it like carmelized sugar?  If so humidity was too high.  70's a little high for chickens though IMO.  I do 60.

Things seem normal.  Can you take a pic of him while your candling?  Check both ends, see if hes turned.  He definately should not hatch before day 26.

Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

 

 

Why is there brail at drive up ATMs??

 

 

Why are their floatation devices instead of parachutes in my airplain seat???

 

 

If a tree falls in the woods and my husband doesn't hear it, am I still wrong????

Ok, I'll watch for the pic.

 

Happy to hear you get orps!  Do send pics.  I want to see a good pic of a "blue" chicken.

Hey Marty, They will love you for it. What I find funny is now that older babies are in humans are scary phase, they get especially scared when it is time to clean pen... But if you have treats, they suddenly forget that they were scared.

That is how I noticed hitler/chaplin/eva was not feeling well so fast, because he/she did not respond to treat time the other night. He/she is doing great, like it never felt unwell. big_smile.png
