    Quote: Stop? Yeah, we'll see.... Whoops, I did it again but I am so happy to get these eggs!! I guess I won't because these are going to be a great addition to the others But keeping 3 sets of Buckeyes seperated won't be easy... bigredfeathers, pathfinders, and...

    It is hard isn't it. I like to at least give them a chance but 75% of the time they would never have made it in a natural setting. It is those other 25% that keep me trying.

    Quote: Pink chick, let her rest and turn her over on the other side every hour for about 4 hours. Then get the tap water nice and comfortably warm and give her a bath under the running water to get all the junk off her. Careful of getting too much water in her mouth. Dry her off a bit and put...

    Quote: Sorry, after re-reading my post, I see why I confused you. I will edit. Anyway, I used to only hatch using the dry method until recently when I thought that I would try raising the humidity with the Marans to see if my hatch rates would increase with them and yes it did increase with...

    ...the humidity in the house and when that didn't help the bator, I finally gave up and left it be at 50%, even with the Marans and 21-28 of them hatched. *edited because I can't spell or type this morning* I am a little confused. So you don't do the dry hatch with the Marans and they do...

    That is great Mahonri! I thought you would find some stuck in there, I am so glad you checked. You said that you "hydrated the egg" What did you do to hydrate it? When I help them out, I usually help all the way. I would love to be able to let them fininsh it off. When you Pip the egg, where...

    I am doing the happy dance for you. Please do check the unpiped eggs before tossing them, you never know... They sell huge (55?) gallon totes at Walmart that work great for temporary brooders. Long and blue. I have all mine in there for now. I will seperate them out in a day or so. I...

    Hi sekinkead, My little goose is so sweet. You will love them. He isn't alone though. He has 6 grown ups outside ready to break my door down when he gives him little honks. I have to admit I egg them on by showing him to them. It is hilarious. He also has an 8 week old sister in the garage...
