You can also when you take the spurs off put the stuff used for dogs toe nails when you quick them and they bleed, that way you do not have to worry about infection and flies! OR you could put him in the pot and eat him!!

I got 24 eggs. I have had my incubator on 24 hrs. The turner is turning, the heat is heating holding at 95.5 degrees, fan is fanning, my humidity is at 75%. I have moved it to another room, adjusting the temp until I have 95.5 again. I have opened both vents hoping to bring down the humidity. When I put the eggs is, I put the big end up because of the turner, right? Will the humidity go down when I put the eggs in? Isn't the humidity at 65%. I sipped down the inside with a kitchen anti bacterial wipe. The directions said I am to wash the eggs? Doesn't the Blume protect then. I understand the clean hands, the temp at 95.5 with enough humidity is the right for bacterial growth.

OPPS, I have been handling the turner after I cleaned it..... :/ Is it Possable to candle really dark eggs? I'm going to find out. Both packages were nicely backed, however the LCM were insured and not left at my house, and had better insulation with styrofoam, bubble rape and paper around them. The egg adventure begins, any bets on % of hatch from shipped eggs.

................................
FYI: I get really hungry when there is a full moon. Know any strangers? SOUPS ON.

You mean that you have your temp at 99.5 degrees, right? I think 95.5 is too low.

WONDERTWINPOWER, yes, I ment 99.5*. My humidity is still way to high. I hope it comes down. I am going to get a second one (humidistat) tomorrow. I thought I had one, but I do not. I really hope I get at lest a couple of peeps. My first time with a real incubator.

i put all the processing replies in one spot... looks like sunday after 5 is working for everyone.   ??
i can be there and can bring extra cockerels with me to share if someone wants to go and doesnt have anything to process.
are we set on a location yet?

I like the posting of keeping them all together.. So far I have 2 yes's from other frinends. I will put out a email after this to see if
ther could potentially be more. 2+ us 3= 5 ya like my math? As for Roos 3 so far.. I could ask a few others if they have any they
are trying to get rid of.. I do think we need to add to the list.. A chest of ice, if the person bringing the roo wants to put in a stew..

it looks like we have 10 or 11 right now, I will bring a 5' table if needed. We still need a place in Central Phoenix, or some of us are going to have a long trip to North West Valley. No one has PM me so I will be able to send address of where it will be held and a contact Phone No. I will call Flower to morrow and confirm a date. Most likely the last Sunday of the month. She has to drive down here a 4-5 hr drive.
