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

[BantyChooks]

i baby sat a baby who wore cloth diapers, and I just couldn't stomach it. Don't get me wrong, the idea of having that in my laundry... I just can't.

It belongs in the trash, not making me want to bleach my laundry every time I do a load of wash.

I've had a whole lot worse in my washing machine.

I used cloth diapers for a while...

I've seen people do it - but chicken brooders and litter boxes, and dog poop is enough poop for me. I'll happily do disposable diapers and keep poop out of my laundry.

Disposable where? In the local landfill?

believe it or not, the idea of poop in my washing machine squicks me out.

Rinse it out first. Actually, once rinsed, you should have a (covered and out of reach) bucket of bleach water that they sit in until washed.
I can do diapers, but still struggle with animal poop in the machine. It's in how our minds work.
I think I could buy stock in the new laundry sanitizer out. I'd make a fortune on myself!
Of course, cloth diapers are at least useful when you run out of disposables, or money to get them.

Aren't you potty trained YET?!

Nope. It'll probably take another 46 years for me to get the hang of it.

I have 12 eggs that I just put into lockdown. This is my second hatch but the first time I've tracked the weights.

It looks like some of my eggs have lost too much weight, but I saw movement when I candled. Is there a way to correct the weight loss at this point or do I just jack up the humidity and be prepared to assist?

(apologies if this has been covered...tried to search the forum but didn't see the answer)

what % have they lost, as an average??

what % have they lost, as an average??

Average is @ 20%. It's almost half and half on the numbers. 6 of the 12 are at 20% or under. 6 are over 20% with 2 maxing out at 24%.

Edited to add: Just found two pips! Both are malpo though...will be watching closely.
