Happy Chooks is making limoncello!

Michaelf, Gardeningmama, said good morning!

Setting eggs today: SilkieSensation;

Coopsbyty had a question about the Brinsea Spot Check. They do take a bit of getting used to. Shipping may have damaged some. One had a broken tip that messed it up. Sally Sunshine asked if anyone like them! Many of us do and many have figured out why they had bad hatches using other thermometers. Thermoworks is another good option for thermometers. Later, discovered that the tip was broken off!

Jbenson finished her hatch, with lots of hatched babies—thinks a lack of hand turning the eggs caused some not to hatch. DH wants to hatch all the chicks!

Chickensnbees has a sick 3 day old BO!

Noncentzter was told to let eggs touch while incubating them. Seemed weird but chickencanoe said that it may reduce vibration and help with development.

Austinbndr28 has developing mallard ducks—used a flashlight app to candle!

Carriebain may have an Mareks Outbreak! Pozees said they all get it but some show symptoms. Those that show symptoms usually die.

Blarneyeggs is having a bad day! Burst pipes, not water for flushing and etc.!
