@vehve , I haven't tried the rice or anything yet. I really need to. This humidity cap is killing me.

Did you look into those dehumidifiers?

I've looked at them but haven't decided to spend money on them yet.

if nothing hatches the 2nd time, I'll work something out with chicks.

Oh, hon! I was kiddin' ya since ya like to tease me, lol...

You've been and are awesome! Things just have been wonky lately, trying to figure out what's going on...

I need to sell some more ducklings before I spend money on poultry stuff. 100lbs of starter a week is costly

Oh, got my strombergs red tuxedo quail eggs. Order 24, sent 27. 4 broken on arrival. Doubt they'll cover it since only 1 of what I ordered was broken. The 2 were just cracked. I nail polished those and set then anyway. 0ut them right in the window of the Bator so I can watch for seeping.

Bummer on the broken ones, but glad you got them... hope they do well for ya!!!

I doubt it, seems fine just no eggs, all the others are laying like crazy. Maybe I need a chicken whisperer? It kinda sucks, I know they all taste the same but I'm partial to brown eggs, always only had brown eggs, and hers were really cool. I've got cartons full of white, green and olive, where's the durn dark spotted brown! Might havta wait until the langshans and JG chicks that have not arrived yet start laying to get brown eggs. 

Huh... I feel for ya... my first hatched Araucana pullet still isn't laying... and her 'cousin' hatched a month later has now been laying for a month!! :/

the black puller in my avatar, yeah she's over 8 months and still isn't laying. She is starting to redden and grow tiny wattles, so maybe soon. Her sisters that were older were laying by 6 months.

OMG!! You got that right!! Ugh, these babies are killing me... but I love them, lol...

@Beer canis there maybe a certain rooster or chicken she doesn't like picking on her? My ohiki quit laying and I figured out it was the 2 roosters fighting almost constantly that caused it. I took the one out and less than a
week later, I got eggs.
