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

Quote: We did view the castle. It is being restored and personally, I don't care how stunning a building is, I'd like it to have a roof at least! So I will take the house so long

Well, I ended up culling the poor thing.  I checked out the links that were provided.  The first picture was the same as this chick.  The right foot stayed above the right wing and it wasn't holding it there, it was locked... by a tight tendon I suppose, which was out of the groove.  I couldn't get it back in.  The info on the link said it went fairly easily, not so this bird.

Well, I'm a breeder and I can't keep anything like that around.  I hate culling chicks.  Heck, I hate culling them at any age but I realize that it is necessary.

Thanks to all of you for your help.

I'm so sorry

Cross your fingers this hatch goes better! 32 eggs in the bator(turner off until morning), 15 RIR, 15 mixes and 2 buff brahmas. 43% humidity this time around and local eggs.

Fingers crossed!!!

I put 12 well shaken ebay buff orps in a genesis i picked up for nothing 48 hrs ago. I will start turning on Saturday. In it I have the temp probe of the digital thermostat I am using for one of my supa-dupa-3-story-bators I plan to build with my sisters kids this Sunday. The Genesis is amazing for holding temps. It has not moved more than 0,4 degrees since it warmed up.


Here we go again

Yay Oz! Take pictures of the incubator you build. I love seeing other peoples ideas!

Hoping you find the perfect place!

I am so sorry! I had a feeling it was. I still cant find its causes, alot of speculation but no real causes in studies. : (

Update on house viewing:

Pro's: cheaper rent, large garden for chickens, isolated (private), quite scenic area..

Cons: NO internet signal, will have to go via landline and not guaranteed that we can get that set up and it's quite a distance from town. I'm thinking drive into town X2 a day for the school run and the extra cost of gas will swallow up what we're saving on rent... And the house is a bit ehh, rough? Needs a lick of point and some serious homemaking skills. I could overlook that but for the internet issue...

I think we'll hang loose and see what else comes up for rent. There are quite a few houses for rent in the area, I'm sure we'll find something.

No update on eggs. Battery was too flat. I bought new ones today, so I'm going to try again when it's dark.

Sally: how did yours candle? Air sacs O.K?

What about satellite Internet? Comcast is fairly inexpensive out here and you can bundle tv and phone into it too, maybe there is a similar company out there?
