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

[Pensmaster]

Thanks, Pen. They came from beautiful birds! LOL!!!

The clan method works best if you have 3 pairs, but I only have a trio (1 male, 2 females). I will be line breeding them.

Thanks, Liz. It still has a pink glow in the proper lighting. 

So far, I've only got 10 chicks in the brooders, so I've still got a good bit of hatching to do.

Ok I saw the a,b,c labels and assumed clan.

Whoops just rechecked b,c labels.

Brahmas aren't my thing either.

My refrigerbator got some new additions. I don't think it's ever looked this good!

Sweet! Good luck!

Today is day 18 for my eggs. Have not candled them as I usually do, due to family crisis ongoing. Sincerely hoping for a decent hatch, as I could really use some cuteness in the form of brand new fluff butts...
I will candle them tonight when it's dark out and lock em down!

Good luck

My copy of the APA SOP finally arrived today. Well worth the money.

I have been thermometer/hydrometer shopping. I plan to buy a few. I have a second incubator to fire up and going to use a big old redwood incubator for a hatcher. I have 2 wood box brooders I love. One is 2 foot square and the other is 4 foot square. Thinking about adding a temp wafer to the little one to maintain a more even temp. I would like to add a second thermometer to those as well. I have a couple of favorites already. I like using aquarium thermometers because they seem accurate, but are small and hard to read. I also need a couple with probes. So my question is what is your favorite? I read lots of treads on them and it seems to be a topic with too much information out there. I am really interested in what works best for each of you.

Nobody likes me,
Everybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms.

Long, thin, slimy ones,
Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.

Down goes the first one,
Down goes the second one,
Oh, how they wiggle and squirm.

Up comes the first one,
Up comes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
