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

[duluthralphie]

In chicken news, 9 of the 12 eggs from Florida made it to lock down 2 rings 1 dud. All 12 of mine going well. AC's of dark ones not as developed but should be fine.



In mushroom news Ralphie I did find another Morel. It was in the compost pile. My compost pile isn't a pile of poop as your imagining. That side of the pile hasn't been touched in years. When I scrape firebreaks all the weeds, leaves, bark go there. I do turn it from time to time just to keep weeds down and move that to my garden areas when needed.

Bring the compost pile here!

Time for a Lowes run.

I totally agree

Plugged everything in and the fan works!

I'd love to say the good cleaning did the trick, but nothing around here is getting a good cleaning...

nice!!!

It's finally happened, just as I was afraid it would.
I had a dream last night about chicks. I was moving them from an indoor brooder to an outside run, and had a double armload of them; even had them spilling over the edge.
I ain't never been so scared! What's happening to me? Will the dreams go away, or will they become reality?

ha ha ha!! Hey Whites, when these marans lay I am sending you eggies but will give you a heads up to fire up the bator or talk to your girls to get a broody These eggs should be awesome, and wait until I get pics of them and show them to you!

New humidity troughs for coolerbator:

now I want corn on the cob, thanks love!
Would you believe the 'bator's already fired up? Nothing in it but air; just making sure everything's working as it should be...don't need no surprises in the middle of a hatch.

Can anyone give me some hope please! My khaki duck eggs are on day 25 just put into lockdown when I candled them they are wriggling about. When I looked at the pointed end it was clear is that normal? I thought all the egg was supposed to be dark

This one has calmed many. I think I looked at it for the first three hatches.
