Good thing she wasnt more east! muwahhahhaaaa Her very first blizzard would have been fun to make her drive in it! You have some great advice from Kat and Paddler be sure to bookmark and read read read CH!! Nope never mixed our serama. thought about it but never had any other bantams to try it HA HAHA Whats black ice you say??? love it!!! till I fall and crack my head on it! hmmmm you think you will look good in these? lolzzzz Kaj how the kiddos feeling? pics would help held humidity? you should be adjusting as needed through 7 to 18. are they sticky chicks? excess fluid that dries them inside at lockdown. I always use 70 or above from external pips on it goes way high when they start to hatch. you kept the bator closed? or you opened it on occation? [COLOR=000000]Everytime you open that bator DURING LOCKDOWN, think of it this way..... Opening your door on a cold day into a nice warm house, it almost takes your breath away, what that does to the egg SHELLS is sucks all that moisture that has accumulated in all those tiny pores. People think because humidity on the gauges goes up right away it has no effect but in turn it does. It takes much longer to begin to fill all those pores again. Keep this in mind when opening that thing in lockdown. [/COLOR]

Thanks Sally. I think I've worked out a solution and by using what I've already had.

Quote: My speckled eggs are not very large plus the coating is splattered so I dont do anything special with those, HOWEVER solid dark choco eggs:::::: What I do for these is start as low as my house humidity is but no lower than 18% until day 10 and then I adjust as necessary. I have found if you loose more at the beginning you dont have to play catch up to loosing in the end, which can cause leftover albumen and sticky chicks. again images of your dis could help and air cell marks as well. I went through all the sanding shells and washing eggs and in the end, the way I do them now works awesome
these eggs I got 100 hatch from and overrun with pullets and cockerels lol

She's on the final stretch, eight days left!!!

I have been watching every video I find reading every website.instead of saying all this negative stuff why not wish me luck and hope it makes it.and go great job.atleast I'm not like most of those other kids that sit on there video games 24/7 and don't like going outside are getting out and seeing all the diffrente nature

Remember what I wrote in our Pm CH!
