That soap turned out awesome! And yes Casey, I'm also a big fan of these soaps. I buy a lot when I am at the fair grounds and they are having the Christmas sales.

Aww, love them, congratulations! Any more? I think I am giving up on silkies..period. :/ I don't even want to talk about my hatch. One of them has a leg that I could try helping, but it's too crooked I think. Will try.

Eggs are here from Littlepeddler Marans! I am SO excited! I will set these 7 tomorrow. I have another dozen coming to be set next week

oh yes!!! I would set those two nice darks in a basket to hatch separate and then zip tie ankles after hatch! so you know who they are! nice eggs! how did air cells look?

One of my broodies seems to have come down with chicken pinkeye. Her eyes are all icky and gummed shut. I'm going to give her eggs to the other broody & I will probably have to isolate the sick one. Bummer, cause I was hoping to have the two of them raise the chicks together. Oh well, I'll bring her to the vet today & see what she says.

oh no!!! eeeeek never had anything like that! whatcha gonna do for that?

Don't sweat it!

Those readings are all close enough for good hatches. It is more important to watch air cell growth and adjust humidity based on that.

Thank you! Your're right I need to stop stressing. I think my anxiety is up because I'm trying not to candle the eggs so much this hatch.
