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

[Fire Ant Farm]

BTW, @Pensmaster - you were absolutely right about bungees hanging by the brooder! (Nice observation!!!) Alas, there are only two there, and I need four for the big MHPs.

(I'm totally PM'ing you next time I lose my keys!!!!!

)

Well, off to bed. I'm exhausted and think I'm getting a head cold. You all play nice, and don't do anything that might get you detention.

 

[BantyChooks]

It's looking better already... Here's hoping!

Gal, this is me we're talking about. There are always flock problems- I just don't post them if I know what to do. Torment away!

Looks like it's not the babies that are too stupid to use the MHP.
Killer! Murderer! Red rum!
Poor baby! Mean Banti tried to kill it!

Evil, am I?

Me. actually the cookies are in the freezer being doled out one at a time.

What is on the floor of your brooder cage?(flooring?)

 

[Pensmaster]

That looks good. I plan to use mhp and the lights I ordered on your recommendation.

I had originally put a cardboard box on top of the rope. And another rope on top of the same cardboard box with the blanket on top. They all jumped on top of the box completely ignoring the inside of the box. Soon the little cardboard box was being smashed so I took it out completely. Leaving just the one rope with the towel.

The towel stays very warm. I'll need to put clean ones in soon. The towels were rescued from going to Salvation Army awhile back. I know I'm a pack rat.

So you eat them frozen? Get one, eat it. Get back up, and to the freezer...

You "should" wait until they are all hatched. I've taken them within half an hour.
My hatch one year ago was very loud. I mean, ear piercing!! As each emerged, it screamed. And screamed. And ... Each one shut up as soon as I put it in the brooder. It was a long night!
Well, women date younger men too.

Yes frozen. Several trips to the freezer is exercise.
