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

[mlm Mike]

Hey all! I have a question. I'm on day 14 with my silkie eggs and I've noticed the aircells are quite small. Shall I stop adding water until lockdown? Which is on Monday. Thanks in advance

You'll want to lower your humidity. What is it at now?

GOOD MORNING, CRITTER LOVERS! DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS?!

Me neither.

Hello MC!

Bad day for fruit here. Any that survived the last few nights are surely gone now.
It is 16F out there now.

I'm not holding out much hope for most of it. The apricot bloomed weeks ago and the fruit was growing. Green fruit in apricots are 90% killed at 25F so they are lost.
My peaches are in full bloom as are the plums. The apples and pear buds are swollen and about to open.
Peaches in full bloom are lost at 24F and plums are killed at 23F so both of those are gone too.
Pears at first white are killed at 19F so some may survive.
Apples at the stage mine are, are killed at 15F so they should make it.
Everything was a month or more ahead of normal.

That's a real shame.

Good morning all

I am afraid we are all in for a year of limited fruit. My maples budded out and now have frozen solid, I will not have maple leafs until July now...

Hopefully, my fruit trees did not bud. Good luck, I hope against all odds your trees bud again..

Good morning and see ya. Getting out of here in time for work has been challenging since the time change.
