Your first pipper might die.

Oh, the 12 clears were unfertilized and not developed at all.

What do you do with the clears? I scrambled them and the hens got breakfast. Thank you very much.

I trash them. No telling what yuck was cooking in them for how ever long they were in there.

If I won't eat it my animals don't either. I would not eat them.

I scheduled them for tomorrow. That is about right. I'm glad they are punctual.
To be clear, keep them at 100°F for the first week? What do you set the brooder for?

I need to finish setting that up and getting a good thermometer. One of the hygrometer thermometers is reading 5° low. It is laying on the pad by the eggs. The other 3 are pretty close. No idea why one is saying too cold. I'll have to mark it. It was reading a degree low mounted on the turner.

Under my light it is 85.
The middle of the brooder is about 75 and the cold side is 69ish.
I will lower the light bulb side to 80 today.

Lockdown still means "DON'T OPEN" to me.

With 9% air humidity I am required to operate the same way >.>

We are having a cold snap. The humidity in the room with the heater is closer to 40%. When I ran the bator dry with the fan, it dropped to <20%. The hygrometers don't work below 20%. What kind are you using or is that the weather stations'?

9%? I think you forgot a digit.

 

[Kiki]

nope. not allowed.

Don't hold your breath.
Nutty your humidity should be close to mine no?
I open the bator non stop the first four quail while I was still home. They took the shells out each time while I was gone. I think the level was at 45% in one of the pics they sent me yesterday. Don't stress on the humidity level.


Don't listen to me anyone else. Nutty lives down the street so our conditions should be very similar.

Don't stress on the humidity level.
