Edited: I just added some water and humidity is up to 28% in bator and temp is 100.

Sounds good to me....  I have never used a incubator with out a fan. I would suggest that when you turn your eggs you rotate your eggs in case there are any cooler or hot spots.

Only had 1 hatch... lost a bunch of chick Wed. night. Storm blew through, knocked out the power for 2 hours during hatching.  sad.png    A bunch of last minute quitters. 

 

I will put some more in tonight.

So, anyone within an hour or so of southern Cumberland County got some eggs they could sell me?  Beth? CSB?  Anyone?

 I have EEs and Black Copper Marans.  If you need them I'd be happy to trade for some visit/petting time big_smile.png

 

ok....since Dad changed his mind.......I did/will get Tank from Beth to put with our Australorp girls and just may have a few eggs for you.

Right now those girls are with and EE roo for olive eggers.

I know it's Mother's Day, but is anyone going to WCA tomorrow? We haven't been in a while and have some roosters we need to sell.

I figure Dad is 83...he can change his mind all he wants.  If you've got Australorp eggs by then, I'd love to buy them.  No trading for petting; that's not a fair trade at all. hmm.png The Boys will give you all the petting you want, for free, any time you want to come by.love.gif  Or maybe we can come across a trade that makes us both happy.  We've done it before; we can do it again!highfive.gif
