JUST kIdding... I looked into the bator.. and was checking the temp because the humidity is making it run LOW... .and BOOM, I have a new pip! xD

 

[RavenWood]

Well, I've got my first little one in the bator... It falls asleep like, ever thirty seconds or so...but it took a drink of water, so I'm content (I dipped my finger in the water dish, and it watched, and then I put my finger to it's beak, and she swallowed it down, I did that three or four time until she stuck her own beak in. ) ... the bator seems quiet... I'm pregnant and have the flu, so I"m off to bed.

Smart peep! Hope you feel better in the morning ... don't stay up too late watching that new pip! Just like that!

what I saw happen with the other chick is that as soon as it hatches, the humidity spikes huge, and then that extra water makes the temp drop... so I don't want it to hatch and die of the temp fluctuation... :/ it got down to 93 when the first one hatched, and I hadn't opened it. :/

My last sarama baby just hatched . So I am 5/5 for the ones that made it to lock down for serama 9/9 for button quail that I put in total and 1/2 of the cots that made it to lock down. I left the last cot egg in there after I candled it and didnt see movement tammrow I will open it up by the air cell on the small chance its still alive but I really dont think it is. All and all I was pleased with my little brinsea mini eco. 5/5 for lock down serama eggs and in the 24 hour window that is avrage 9/9 for the buttons in the 24 hour period as well and well the single little cot

OOH I forgot to say I told my boyfriend about the sale on the ecoglow brooder or whatever its called from brinsea and even though the code didnt work for him he still bought it for me , he spoiles me so much. So in the next 7-10 days I will have a nice heat source instead of the dang metal things and hot red bulbsl

I finished a few mods on one of my brooders, prepping for the move. With the inverter in my truck the brooder in the bed, I'll be able to keep the heat on for them for the whole ride

Wow,I finally got caught up on most of the latest posts.Whew.I just love seeing all the pictures of these baby birds.Congrats to all that got babies.And sooo sorry to read about the ones that didn't make it.I think it happens to all of us that try and hatch,sometimes we have great success and sometimes huge failures.I'm a try,try,try again person so I just keep hoping for the best and go again.I ended up with 24 out of 39 chickens set hatching and 3 out of 5 turkeys.I didn't keep count of how many of my blues and mixed I set so its hard to tell whats what.I did get a nice variety of colors and thats what I always enjoy.Here's a few pictures I took a little while ago.
