EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[Fire Ant Farm]

I love my med students!!!
Such a nice bunch of young people.

@Phage , Is it your birthday? Happy birthday!

You teach med school as well? (What do you teach?) One year at the end of the Digestive Health Module, mine made me a scarf out of felt modeled after the GI system. It even has a little gallbladder with little "stones" sewn in. I got a hand-made "windmill" after the Respiratory module. That was a really creative class...

Any time at all - that's the purpose of this thread and that's why we're here! There's usually someone around to help, or to tell you where to find help (there there are sometimes slow periods - like now, for instance).

(You should have seen all the frantic posts I posted when I was doing my first hatch!

)

Good to know, however all the mal-positions were my fault because i set them the wrong way for more than half the incubation period.

Ha! I remember that too, Poor Banti had to put up with all my questions

Yeah, my malpositions in that hatch were due to round eggs not moving right in a rolling egg turner (eggs on their sides). It was infuriating. I don't use that incubator for incubating any more - just for hatching.

You can buy plantain and jewel weed in homeopathic salves and I can attest to the fact that it works wonderfully for rashes.
