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

[Sally Sunshine]

I would like to thank who ever started this thread I have learned so much by just lurking as my wife says.I am on day 20 and when I woke up I have a little one poking a hole through so pumped this is my first hatch and I had a little problem getting my humidity up to 60% I had all my channels full of water on my 1588.I put a container in the corner with water and I have it up to 62% now with the hatch starting I think that will help me bring it up some more.I just got a question does the outside humidity/ snow storm we are having now does that help the humidity come up ??????

if you already have a pip I would get a warm rag and get it in there it will keep it up for you. CONGRATS too!!! what are you hatching?

Sally I would start with the Sulmet. Can you isolate the worst? I have not read your other thread yet.

I am going to do the tylan orally on bread and the acv in the water, however the bleach intrigues me too! Perhaps I need a shot or two of it!

Think I should go ahead and do the other pens right away? nevermind, yes I should because if it gets to the expensive gang I am in serious trouble!

I am thinking about providing a covered run with hawks and now this, DH will kill me if we need to dig more holes in this mountain rock!

Unless your indoor air is moist then it won't help your humidity. Is your container of water open? If it is just watch that a chick does not take a swim in it.

Make sure the container in the corner has a cover. Chicks WILL dive in and drown. 62 should be ok. A wet sponge will raise it if you feel you need to.

I think we lost some chick to drowning you two???? good call!
