➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

[Kiki]

I was meaning more about any difference in temps on the thermometers. The high and the low...

It's pretty darn steady. Way better than when I was playing wafer.

Same to you...I'm on this %$#!! phone.

Me too. I'll wake all the way up and really not be able to get away if I get on the computer right now.

I'm confused here. Can someone on this busiest of threads tell me how it is possible to hatch balut eggs? I mean, after all, who would incubate their duck eggs from the start for 15-20 days, pull them out of the incubator, put them in the refrigerator for a week or more, warm them up again and expect the embryo to still be alive?

By the way, while a balut egg could be any species of bird, Mallard ducks are most commonly used.

I'm relying on this silly crappy Walmart humidity gauge thing to tell me if I am getting the numbers right.
This is what I was using.

It was working great but I have to be sitting there NON STOP to monitor the temperature because it did raise it.

I've now moved on to the sponges.
They are working!!!!

WOOT!

Do NOT trust that hygrometer. At the very least, put it outside, wait 30 minutes, put your zip code into the location box on accuweather, find out what your ambient humidity is and compare that to what your hygrometer says.

Um....about Wyoming...I just Googled Asian Food Stores near Cody. Got a Walmart and an Albertsons, and a list of restaurants.

A lot of cultural diversity here. Our International Institute has been sponsoring refugees for 100 years. There are huge enclaves of Bosnian, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Bhutanese, Somali and Botswanan peoples that make this a very interesting place to live. We have an annual festival of nations featuring foods and arts from their homelands.
We have lots of Asian markets. Jay's Asian is a favorite but I go to Seafood City Supermarket. It is a huge combination Asian/Latin market. You can find anything there. Just the fish department is the size of a medium size grocery store. Another section just as large for rice and grains. A whole aisle for teas another aisle for seaweed.

Today I need to remind everyone how important it is to start with a thermostat. What in the world was I thinking for the first few days? I can not stress how helpful a thermostat is in an experiment like this. Life changing.

Ya' think?

I think I'm going to crack again today when I wake up and find another thermostat to test out. I might be slightly obsessed with thermostat s now.

I recommend this one.

Damn, I go to sleep and I come back to 15 pages... LOL And now I have to go to work, so I can't keep up over the day. LOL
I just can't wait for these little wonders to hatch. I agree with @Blooie I think this whole thing is amazing... what these two have been through, and they haven't even been born yet!
