INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[ChickenCanoe]

I think I might have twins in one of the eggs

I hope not. For embryo's sake.

That reminds me of a Steve Martin joke in his standup routine.
"I want to be master of all space, time and dimension.
[pause for effect]
Then -- I want to go to Europe."

Some pic of my second setting chicks
...

From 10 hatch got 4 BPR mails
4 BPR females, 2 Araucana females! 60% females is a good ratio!

Yes nice ratio. My first hatches this year resulted in 9 pullets and 3 males. 75% Very fortunate. I've only had one big hatch I can remember that was largely males. However, a guy in Puerto Rico that I shipped eggs to, only got one pullet out of his hatch.

Help...I'm really confused. The last couple hatches I've had the same problem. Sticky chicks with an amber glue like substance. Ive been trying to keep the humidity around 20 during the first 18 days. Then at lockdown I keep it about 65 to 70. I've been trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong, every where I look the symptoms point to high humidity during the first 18 days. Is it possible thaty Humidity is to high during lock down. Some one enlighten me so I can correct my problem.Thanks IN Advance

There are other possibilities besides high humidity. That's likely albumen on the chicks.
Are they all hatching at 21 days or early? Low temp is possible.
Are they in an auto turner? Improper turning results in reduced nutrient absorption.
The other two possibilities are very large or very old eggs.
ETA
Other questions, where are you located and what is your normal ambient humidity? Are you sure your hygrometer/s are accurate?

Not really a recipe but if you dice/cube the chicken, taters and veggies. Wrap it in aluminium foil add seasoning's and a little olive oil or butter. Stick it on the coals or fire grate. Usually cooks for bout 30 minutes or so depending on the package size and cube/dice size. Good eating and easy to do. Can even prep everything at home if ya need to.

I wonder what day Spring is scheduled for up there

I started to think we had spring and summer from January through March and then back to winter in April. I think I lost all my apricots last week.

Wow, that's exactly what I was going to suggest. A little sea salt, fresh cracked pepper and rosemary to boot.

Steak and potatoes cooked the same way with some onions is great too.

Sorry to hear about the little man. Do you think it could be something besides the bug making him keep up with the fever?

I'm going to text our dr and ask him...see what he thinks.

More of ponds than lakes. There is a river though. Not extremely familiar with rivers here but I think its one of the largest in the state.

Stay away from the waterfalls
