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

[BullChick]

Olly, Bally, Collie, Dolly, Fally, Golly, Holly, Jolly, Lolli, Molly, Polly, Wally!

Bally would be the scaredy cat.
Fally will fall off of things.
Golly will be really talented. In a good or bad way. But I'm thinking moronic.
Wally will keep slamming into the tank.

I was wrong. She picked Dolly and Bally. Polly was okayed a few minutes later.

i would probably go with something original like Shelly and Mr. Krabs

Do air cells look like they're a good size when you candle for lockdown? Sounds like you're doing everything right

Do you eggtopsy? They don't look like they have infected yolk sacks, right?

We did do an eggtopsy last time and the chicks looked fine. The chicks did seem a bit big though so do I have to lower it more. Like to 25%?

How's the hand feeling 24 hours after therapy?

Not as bad as usual but I told her to focus on pain management. it did go numb like pins and needles for a few hours but when it came back, it wasn't the pain like the last time. Heat, voltaren and Vicks vapor rub and epson salt packs or baths are my best friends

i also took it very easy today

Kristin, I'm pretty sure the link to the charts is either in there or buried somewhere in my open tabs.... Lemme check.

OK - let me know if you need me to re-post it.

Thank you!!
Feeling better. Once I changed the RH setting from 20% to 45% it hovered around 40% for most of the day. Now it wants to live at 27%.
Are you saying I should go into settings and change the RH to 30%?
Appreciate it!!

Well, if you're asking for opinions, yup, I would. Then you'll check and readjust depending on the weight loss. And check out the beginning of the thread for more info.

Good night - sleep well!!!

Oh, I wasn't talking about them watching (which I think is fine) - it's just that my yard and the (crumbling) decking around it is BEYOND unsafe for kids, iffy for adults (house not really kid safe either), and the little alcove where I butcher is kinda tight for one person, will be tighter for the two of us, and is out of sight of the whole rest of the yard. Couldn't envision how you could possibly watch them during the couple hours it'll take us. That's all. I have visions of trips to the ER because someone has been cut on a rusty screw (they're all over), or swallowing something. I'll renovate someday....

(I can try to clear up stuff, but there's just so much assorted coop/tractor building leftovers everywhere...)

Banty do you have a pic of an infected yolk sack? I had several that weren't absorbed,but malposition seemed to be the worst problem. I am wondering if they like the temp and humidity a little higher during hatch and the 65%. Thats my next try. Had to cull my malay-he was so sweet and active but he was badly deformed and trying to walk on his knees because his feet were completely twisted backward

RIP Curly.

I had to recount the eggs in my incubator - my daughter snuck an extra egg into my incubator when I wasn't looking. LOL
