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

[Sally Sunshine]

Quote: unfortunately not much can be done at this point. Temps need calibrated, try to never get flux under 99.5 or over 101. I actually run calibrated 100.5 in all bators until lockdown. I dont have to add water much until lockdown when its humid here in PA. I run typically at 35% and just keep watch after 7 days candling a few here and there every two days or so just to keep an eye on them. shipped eggs always loose more weight so them I normally need to up humidity a bit. Only things that cause late are those, but you will have to eggtopsy and try to see when they died in the shell to get an idea of what goes wrong. Still keep hope and do you have the assisting article? @BantyChooks is there a way you can get that article over on the new Site somehow?

Given any thought to making it a double decker?

GOODNESS no!! Roofing is enough trouble as it is. I ain't wobbling around up there in a ladder for any longer than I have to.

Those look so good! I had 6 svart honas hatch. I can't figure out who is still throwing white.
