Hey!!! welcome!!! good job Casey!!! no need to catch up! what do you want to know just ask! lol we can fill you in! I screwed up my hatch maybe, thats where I am at, and in lockdown. left the coolerbator open all night, temps were stable but obviously not humidity. time will tell. whats up with lav orphs clear?

Thank you and good to know because I gave up on catching up cause it's soo busy

Thank you for posting all of the great links at the start. I keep your hatching 101 very close by... it has been VERY helpful. I'm really disappointed in the clears. I'm hoping my rookie candling made some huge errors so things look better on day 10.

I think we all suffer from itchy hands

CONFESSION of the day...... I took a peek at my eggs, and I paid dearly for doing it.... remember when I said I unscrew the lightbulbs in the incubator to candle.... well guess who forgot to screw them back in before she went into her aunts house yea that be me, you betcha... I said I wouldnt touch them, I said I woudnt do it, I wouldnt candle, and I DO IT ANYWAYS just to be sure they came to no harm, I DID IT ANYWAYS.... IT GETS ALL OF US, it DOES IT TO US.... DONT DO IT, DONT LET IT GET YOU!!! the heat was off them for hours about 5 I would guess, temps down to 74. I didnt candle, I cant candle now, I feel bad now. I am an idiot, I did that one other time, not near this long, with the white face spanish and they did fine, but not temps this low and at a time where they are to internally pip either. I screwed them back on, temps came up and steady out. I dont see any externals. I would say at this point, These poor pretty eggies need prayers, and I need a swift kick in the butt. I have been so dumb lately, I forget so many things from this dumb medicine I cant stand it! I am so sorry little chickies ugggggg... after I moped around all afternoon, I started the coal stove, fed chickens and then the kids wanted to do pumpkins..... this little booger had my laptop all day while I was at my aunts supervising cleanout. She has her own, for some reason she thinks moms is better! This is before I threw her off tonight! I am so glad to have her, she is my helper!!!

hate this for you I'm praying for the lil chicks. On a brighter note awesome pumkins and your daughter is very sweet.

thanks you guys, I am sitting here thinking, should I get a brooder ready or just wait.

I am starting to think like my hubs, if I get one together they wont hatch, if I dont they will hatch
