Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[jfer]

try putting her in a tea cup with a tapered bottom it will keep her from falling on her side and help her legs get used to the position.  just don't over or under heat her and take her out every hour to offer water and food.

She keeps trying to jump out and she's screaming her head off. She won't sit still poor thing. She's jumping all over the place. What do I do?!?!

Quote: if she is staying in the cup the right way, its ok, she is at least exercising her legs. you didn't put them on too tight right? check for swollen toes. She is just mad and alone, she will calm down.

No swollen toes but she's favoring her left side. She don't want to use her right foot

Quote: I was just reading another thread, and someone was getting out of line. Then I come to this thread, read my last post, and wonder if it came off as nasty. I REALLY hope I am just mad at the guy that was so unkind, and that my post wasn't mean!!
I was trying to give you comfort in your abilities. No, you don't have to feed different foods. One food will satisfy all the fish. Remember that some fish are top feeders, and will eat right away, some will wait a few minutes for the food to soak up water and sink a little (middle feeders) and some want the food to be laying on the bottom. Some fish turn their noses up at what is offered, and you have to try another food.

MotorcycleChick I did not see any nastiness in your reply about the feeding if it is the one you quoted it doesn't sound nasty to me.

Waiting is getting hard. Knowing it will be better if I wait makes it easier.
My temp is still down to 100 (Still air, I had it at 102*) after over 12 hours. When do I assume it got bumped? If I don't get an answer, the voices are telling me to let it go another day. Cold weather may be causing it. Better 100 than 104!!

Quote: Yup I took the advice that I should NOT LIKE IT OR WANT TO do it, but know that I need to do it. Deed is done and wasn't so bad. Thanks you guys for the support! It was a big step, now the bigger step would be eating them, but I will freeze them for a while.
Mine are in the freezer from September. I may just take one out soon. I think it will be the slow cooker the first time. Less handling.
