4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

[Sally Sunshine]

I'm not sure what happened between the day before yesterday and today...but things aren't looking promising in my bator this evening. Temps are fine (no, I don't need a new thermometer

), humidity is fine. For whatever reason (unnamed amount) are not going to be hatched chicklets. Sad night...but I'm hopeful about the (unnamed amount) that are still viable.

All 7 of my eggs are doing well. The Nankin has a little eyeball floating around. The other eggs are a lot larger being they are barn yard mixes. So, if this little nankin egg makes it to hatching, it will probably hatch first.

I candled tonight. I set 8 serama,2 were clear,1 died early and had a blood ring that leaves me with 5 serama.

Gabs where did you get your serama???

I don't know why but for some reason my incubor dropped from 98 to 91 degrees. I wasn't sure if I adjusted it up if it would slowly go up, or go back to what it was plus the adjustment. I just checked it and it seems to be holding steady to what I adjusted it too. I added 2 degrees because it was at 97 so hopefully it all goes well.

Good morning! Hope everyone has a great day!

I havent been on in awhile, tons of posts behind.

News on the chicks:
I almost broke my incubator today while vacuuming. I thought i could carefully get around it, but then the ever so clumsy me decided to bumb it causing the automatic turner to lose the bator and it fell to the ground. I kept trying to put it back up but the turner is not workingright. It keeps falling apart. So after awhile i finally got it back up, hopefully it still turns now. :/

I need to post a picture of Drekkette. She's just about ready to move in with the rest of the Icelandic flock. She inherited that lovely blue.

I use the rubbermaid shelf liner. Easy to clean and makes a great grip for little toes.

Same here. I used to toss it until I realized it was washable. I wait until I have several icky, dirty pieces, then throw them in the washer with an old towel. I used to air dry it, but now throw it in the dry as well. I've been using the same pieces for over 6 mos. now.
