I never would have thought of it either...until I bought a cheapie Brother (well, it was still $100, but cheap for a sewing machine) at Walmart, and sewed something that was apprently a little too heavy and it warped the gears. :/ It lasted about 2 years until that happened. I had no...

HEchicken...I know you didnt ask me, but ive been sewing for some 18 or so years now, so I thought i'd chime in. I highly recommend getting a good quality second hand machine...a good quality !achine that has been well maintained will just keep on trucking! You also want one that has metal...

OOh! frizzle cochins...I just love them....I had 2 bantam frizzle cochins last year, and they both died. :( I need more. :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: for all...I need them too. Nothing going on with the bator eggs...I swear I still hear tapping Broody is still doing great...hoping she...

Well, none of my quotes took, but the jacket looks great....chicks are adorable. Nothing new going on here...thinking I might browse e-bay for some hatching eggs (shhhh don't tell dh) I should go out and work on the meat bird coop, and finish planning the garden though...so that's probably...

Yay! It worked, and I voted...unfortunately my votes did nothing to break the current tie...so more people go vote!!!!!

Wouldn't let me vote, said the poll ended today.

Thanks for the help SS...I will leave them alone for the next couple days unless I need to add water through the holes....no openings or candling though! Promise! Come on duckies! wildriverswolf90, cute chicks!!!!

Ok...i have a still air, and it's hanging at about 65% and the plugs are out...so I'll leave it for a couple days and hope for the best. Thanks so much! (Oh, and DH has officially made fun of me for "being so worried" about the eggs.) <--- That's what I think about that.

I only opened it to add water and just did a really quick candle! But ok...hands off, promise, but I thought the humidity is supposed to be that high for ducks? One article I read said 85-90% for when the ducks hatch???? It's hanging out at 60-65% though, I can't seem to get it to stay...

HELP!!! The one that I thought was pipping internally yesterday, I am pretty sure actually did...I heard tapping this morning (I thought in 2 different eggs) but now...nothing...no noticeable movement at all...sleeping? is that normal? I am pretty sure one pipped internally, then died...the...

Still no external pulling but one more appears to have pipped internally, and the one little one that was moving is still working in it it seems...i heard tapping today so hopefully thats a good sign!

Agree that it depends on how big of a bird you want...I'm going to try to get a couple more poults so we have some for the freezer his fall...but even if I get them right now I'm thinking they should be ready in October.

Ok, I'm going to wait. The one that looks like it already pipped internally there is a really slightly light brown/yellowish ring around the air-sac...could it be shrink wrapping? The lowest my humidity has been during lock down is 55%, but it's been closer to 65% most of the time...I added...

If I should...but I did..I have one that looks like it pipped internally (although I'm not sure what that looks like) but I'm not noticing movement in any but maybe 2...and only one for sure....both of them that I thought I saw movement in, I also *thought* I heard tapping back when I tapped...

Anyone got advice on candling them? Anyone anyone...Bueller! lol...I have to leave soon, and I don't want to wait too long. Thanks!!

Ok...added my wet chicken picture!

So sorry! I don't think I'm going to have any hatch either. :( I think I'm too big of a chicken to do eggtopsies though. ) Oh my word! I am so so sorry. How awful! I'm so sorry for your losses. :( Wait! I have a pic to add! I took it over a week ago but I just keep forgetting to add it...

Yay! Adorable! And sooo excited for you!

Well, somehow I totally forgot that I added two fresh eggs to the bator a day after I set the majority of the batch, so 2 are due 5/7 (If both of them made it to lock down, which I'm not sure...good thing I wrote "5/7" on the eggs so I would remember! lol! Anyways...somewhat good news is...I...

Well, temp spiked to 106, then I pulled out the plugs, and it dropped to 96. :/ If I have ANY hatch it will be a miracle. No pips, but they aren't due until tomorrow, and I've had really wonky temps so I'm still holding out hope, and am prepared for a possible late hatch. Still haven't put...
