    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    Woo Hoo Kellyn!! And what cute chickies!! Also, am I the only one no longer receiving updates? Very strange. Twentynine, I too am conflicted regarding the Easter Hatch. I now have 31 chickens INSIDE my house. It ain't pretty. It's getting up to about the mid 40's during the day here, so...

    Kathyimo! Awesome pics! And thank you for posting them, I show pics like that to my DH and it makes the few I have in the bator seem like nothing. :lol: Still nothing happening here. :( I keep looking in the bator, and the eggies keep looking back. Keeping their solemn expressionless...

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    So Not a silly question! It's probably not an issue, but if it's really upsetting you - Here's what I would do... If I was close by and watching, I'd leave it unless I saw distress and then risk opening the bator and moving it away from the wall. If I wasn't going to be close by, I might just...

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    I raised my humidity last night but don't officially lockdown until Wednesday. DS thinks some of the clear eggs have potential, so they've been granted a stay. One of my BCM chicks from the NYD hatch is seriously ill Imaybe cocci? I got it some meds this morning, but when I got home she was...

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    KefireN: Great Poem!! Twentynine: hang on tight, sounds like quite a ride. Did a more thorough candle of my EE's last night and every single one looks clear. I am now down to 11 eggies. :( Day 18 for me is technically Wednesday, but my New Years Day Chicks started hatching on day 18. I...

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    Don't be sad. Every egg is a gamble and a potential 'gift'. Veining is fantastic! Don't worry about lack of water, plenty of people don't add any water at all until day 18 'Lockdown'. You should be fine. :D

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    Hello and Welcome Rsleghorn! Your post inspired me to get colorful! I've decided that I just can't wait until Tues (day 10) to candle, I'm waiting for the whole family to be present, and then we'll have a look see!

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    Congrats Horton! Now, do you have 6 incubators, or are you running a staggered hatch? I'm holding steady at 100 degrees, humidity is right around 20 - I'm trying a dry hatch to see if it increases my percentages.

    Ground Hog's Day Hatch

    Barrack and Obama... That's funny. I believe that same farmer, or maybe his brother lives right down the way from me, could we be neighbors? I'm not sure if he owns a razor or shampoo for that matter, but some gorgeous looking birds running around. I got some EE's and Silkie eggs $2 a dozen...
