One of my two chocolates got put in jail this morning. I just went out and got pictures as I've been keeping an eye on things out there. This is Charlotte, the one that took a bath in waste oil. I think it affected her brain. :idunno...

It's only going to be a dozen, maybe 14 eggs as she said she'd throw a couple extra in, but if they arrive here safely, I'll give it a whirl! I'm so excited! :celebrate ❤️

Yes, ma'am! I have two chocolate silkie hens I got from a breeder and she didn't have frizzles, nor did the ones I saw at the poultry swap this summer. I think maybe your beauties are rarer for sure!

That NPIP certification I looked into is very lax here but I at least started for selling chicks at our poultry swaps as there I was seeing it there often. For shipping eggs though, even the Powerhouse Farms lady with the buffs you put me on to isn't yet but said she is attaining it. I told...

Congratulations, Tink! 🎉 That sure sounds like a win/win to me!

So, so pretty, Tink! :love You've got the only frizzled chocolate I've ever seen!

The NR360 has a much larger vent, so that one I actually close to a crack to try keep humidity up. It's got another hole about 1/2" diameter on the other side too so I think there's more ventilation than what meets the eye with that one. I looked at my Brinsea and it's just that tiny hole...

As long as no pipped ones in there, you can candle whenever you like.

We've had our nearly two-month olds in the play pen in the livingroom and she lays by them. She's so cool.

If no pips in that incubator, then I'd candle them to see if you can see anything moving. I still leave them another day. Once I had one an entire day behind the rest that actually hatched, but otherwise they're all within a 24-hour period.

And one of ours, Stella, just sits on top the brooder and keeps an eye on things. 😼

57 isn't great but Tink, think about those that dry hatch. I will never do that, but your humidity right now is higher than they have it, which is usually 50 I believe. IMO, they won't shrink wrap but the silkies would have a bit harder time breaking through the shell is all, but they'd do...

Okay, I think we do have the same one then. They come both ways, with or without. So, I had hubby look at ours and pretend our humidifier pump broke, what would we do? He said that the pump I linked could work with ours because the controller could be used to run it, but probably not yours...

I went to go see what incubator yours is but there seems to be several they call "Advance." Is yours that big cabinet-type model? If so or something like it, would this pump work? The nice thing about auto humidity is we can be gone for a few days and not worry about it.

Oh gosh, I thought we had the same one. You don't have the auto humidity on yours or it's not hooked up? I just set it up or down and only need to worry about it being too high, never too low. I have an aquarium hose hooked from the pump to a jug of distilled water and don't usually have to...

T That's a gorgeous picture with the Christmas tree in the background! ❤️

OH drat, you just reminded me I left my 3 little silkie cherubs in the playpen in the livingroom while I dusted out the brooder. :lau Even with horse bedding pellets, they manage to put a thick coat of dander on their light fixture, walls, and ceiling of it. Amazing all that comes from 3...

I think you're right and I'll try to hold off. I need restraint. I hadn't thought about it but sure, I'll do a hatch-a-long. It should be easy with just 12 eggs, right? 🤔

I told her I didn't care about her NPIP and she said, "Okay, when do you want them." I still stuck with January as the earliest as I'll be starting to hatch my own eggs a month later and only have the one brooder. No way hubby is going to make me a second one lol. If they're 3 weeks apart it...

Oh, Tink, don't do this to me! Stop me! Stop me! I'm itching to msg that lady you put me on to, to just ship me those eggs now, why wait lol.
