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

[duluthralphie]

You have had some strange hatches for sure.

It makes no sense. I use all 1202's incubators and hatchers, I have them in a 70 degree room. I have the auto humidity thing (bucket on the cabinet)..

I get good hatches unless the eggs freeze or get too cold. But the heat wrap shrinking has always been a pain, one or two eggs out of 100 do it. I run 45% humidity during incubation I run 65-75% during the hatch.

I run a little higher than most because of the heat shrinking.

I am in the process of building a new hatchery. I need it because the USDA vet says I do,,,sigh....

Need rocks to make concrete.
My lawn's nothing but orchard grass & whatever else was growing here when we bought it.

I have mowed Quack Grass, crab grass and assorted weeds.

I would make the WWD walk through the grass ahead of me to draw out the attack as I aim and try to remember to pull the trigger...

Bird shot handy shovel better. I let the chickens go first they destroy everything that's why I saw that snake in the first place. No grass left. Yea they are supposed to jump their body distance, in all the ones I've got I've never had one jump. Stopped counting at 20
