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

[DuckGirl77]

Good to hear, you were quite missed in your absence.

Ain't it? BYC is prob'ly the worst thing to happen to my productivity that didn't involve me being in the ICU.

Aw, thanks.
Haha yep! - that's what I found out, too. So ... I justify it by not getting on every day

 

[BullChick]

Out of curiosity, have you noticed a difference in hatch rates or is it just easier?

It's easier, and less room for error.

Ralphie, I'm starting to understand your dislike of ducks. Big Mama beat me up again. I'm starting to see a pattern, I go in to fill feed and water, she beats me up, I bend down to put said water and feed in a reachable place and she flies at my face,I stand on the outside of the coop, she hisses, I get too close on the outside of the coop and she flies at me. I really don't understand why she hates me so much, she was not like this last time.

Thanks for the tip!

I spray from day 18 till they pip though. You just have to follow air cell.

I am suffering from a rupture discuss between my L4-L5 vertebrae , almost 30 years now, and once in a while it reminds me its existence. .....

I haven't been reminded in a long time. I have no disc problems but my L5 is broken in two pieces. Has been most of my life.

Well, Good afternoon! Good to see you back. My 1st hatch I laid them flat. 2nd go 'round they hatched in cartons. In my case it was pretty much 6 of 1, half dozen of the other.

Same here but I think if something goes wrong with either, especially upright, the problem was generated many days earlier.

I had honey lavender tea with honey and tequila. Instant relaxation and sleep.

We left for the ballgame and it got cancelled because of rain and rescheduled for tomorrow. 3 of our group can't get off of work for that. We went to Broadway Oyster Bar and pigged out on oysters, alligator, shrimp, mussels, crawfish etouffee and bread pudding. Instant naptime when we got home.

Stuffin nonsense! They're all different if you stare at them enough.

I can't stare at them that long.

I thought I held the record for using the oldest operational Hova-Bator. I believe you have me beat.

I started incubating with a little giant a friend gave me that was 10 years old at the time and I let it lay behind the shed another 10 years. By that time the windows were gone and the Styrofoam wouldn't seal. I rebuilt the rims with water putty. Quote:

I knew it was a toe from the moment I saw it!!!!

Cadaver toes. My brother's friends used to (60 years ago) get drunk, drive around and throw fingers at people.

It amaze me too sometimes I have the feeling that I know an ocean of useless knowledge, but when I think about it, that is in line with my goal to know everything about everything!

My friends call me a wealth of useless information.

Can I use my cooler bator without the fan just for hatching? And fix it later? Remind me if I should still do the 65% for lockdown if AC are small?

You can use it if you can keep the temp close and humidity up. If AC are way too small, wait till pipping is imminent before raising humidity.

But that was for the styro? I guess ultimately it's the same. :/ I think my fan will work if I just clean it.

It's the same but I think your fan is shot. Do you have something to blow it out with? Power it up and spin by hand with a pencil to see if you can free it up.

My students called me Bennypedia........
