Second hatch had an issue, yesterday (on day 15). I noticed my donut humidifier was no longer working. So, I replaced with a mini fogger. It's not hooked up through the controller so, I need to monitor manually. While cooking dinner, I turned it on and forgot about it. Humidity got to around 85%+ for a short period. I remedied that but, in that time, a puddle had formed and I didn't notice it. I checked it about an hour later and the temp had dropped to low 80's. I had to run to Wal-Mart and get a new heater and hook it up. In that time, temp got as low as 74°. Once I got new heater hooked up, the temp rose fast and the humidity stabilized. It was low for no more that 1 1/2 hours. Because of the fluctuation last night, I waited to candle and move to lockdown. It's looking good again and I've set a new 120 eggs onto the turner in the incubator.

This is for the new hatch that just went in, this morning.

Anyone else fighting the Buffalo Gnats this spring? I've got several quail with swollen eyes. I'm considering the permethrin. Nasty little things.

In the meantime, Hugo was out free ranging in my garden today! He likes the plant pot and daffodils...

Days are getting longer. It's just a matter of time for love to be in the air. And foam on the ground.

Babies are a week old. Time for them to go outside. Still a little chilly is the problem.
