I just about had a heart attack thanks to my daughters chick that I thought was dying. Its about 4 weeks old and I heard a strange noise from its pen (inside until it warms up) and I noticed her laying on her side almost under the food dish, her feet were kinda twitching almost like she was...
Im not sure about most of your question but I thought you were supposed to take the turner out before lockdown? I thought I had read that somewhere ( though Im a complete newbie to this and just hatching my first eggs now) Hopefully someone can come along and answer your questions for you.
I had issues with candling and then decided it was my flashlight t
hat was the issue. Hubby brought home one that was 130 lumens and I figured out if I candle from the big side I can see more. I am with you on googling to compare, but I am just learning . God luck
Thank you ... I appreciate the answer. I am scared now, up until now it was all anticipation and excitement and now that its here and i want to go back to 17 days ago lol
On day 17, I have some eggs that look like this:
and i have others that look like this:
I am supposed to go into lockdown tomorrow night, will that hurt the less developed eggs? Or will it all work out some how?
I had it plugged in for about 5 hours and set on the lowest setting and it would not get lower than 106. i don't have a water weasel it just worried me that the heater was messed up if it wont go lower than 106
I just bought a second incubator (farm innovators pro) and plugged it in and even with it on its lowest setting the temp was 106 and climbing. This can not be right, right? I used about 6 thermometers lol because i wasn't believe the first 3, should i just take it back to the store or let it sit...
My husband says you should name him ATV (all terrain vehicle) I am with the ones that would let it live if it can function and be a happy chick. Good luck with whatever you decide.
Thank you for your reply. My husband has decided it needed a fan so he bought one today. *rolls eyes* the man can't make up his mind lol. Thank you again so much
I have two sets of eggs in forced air bator, one about a week behind the other. I would like to know what changes to temp and humidity I would need to make to use a still air gator for lockdown. Any help would be much appreciated :)
Thanks for your reply. Have you seen any day 10ish candling pics of twins. I'm not even sure they are twins, though I am running on the assumption they are since they appear so full already *sigh* I'm so not ready for that lol
