Thanks. Though it would've been nice to get a little more than 3 out of 18

Yes it would.

Hi Dan, I am glad you got a few though. How are the goats

Not in the least bit.

I never spent a lot of time running or jogging; easier to just start earlier.

Third chick is out. I think that's all I'll get out of this batch.

Well that beats my last hatch. One out of 30. Temps too low on my part fully developed late quitters. Had to buy some chicks to keep the lone one happy.
One of the two I bought is obviously a rooster by size default.

They are same age

Me too.

Some are good some aren't. We had a doe miscarry last night, we didn't even know she was bred, she's not feeling so good at the moment. We're not sure why she miscarried though my sister thinks it's a selenium deficiency. If she was bred though I'm almost positive most the other Does are. Looks like we might have a lot of August babies.

Hi Pensmaster!
102 doesn't sound pleasant.

Especially if adding Dax humidity but ours is only 42% this morning and that will go down by the time it's 102. Yesterday was 108 so I'm liking the trend. There are times when the temps at night don't go below 80's that's when it gets ugly. Not that 100 plus is fun. I don't like anything over 90. Adding in your humidity and that 90 number would come down significantly.

YEs, the trend is going the right way, but has a long way to go.
