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

Hmmm...didn't consider that. Thought they were at least THAT tough.

Nope. Kristin, for one, starts whining if it gets down to 28*C. By 15*C, she's shivering on the floor and murmuring "Cold brrr freezing icy snow I can't feel my toes" over and over again.

Then a cold snap hit so I put her in the fridge to keep her warm, since it was down to -62*C in the house. Not too cold, really, I just put on a jacket.

Beautiful and gray?


Sometimes you'd be amazed at what I let in the "Hoose."

Hmmm...didn't consider that. Thought they were at least THAT tough.

That one I knew. Southerners aren't cold hardy at all in outdoor temps.

I'm down.

It is forced air.

It is forced air, I did calibrate it with 3 thermometer and 2 hydrometer.

I'm in the Milwaukee area, and yes, I did get the Turner out at lockdown, then noticed some of the barnyard mix chicks had already pipped.

I was running it lower, but still kinda high at 75% it then went up.

You have much the same weather as me, except yours is worse...

It is really hard to control humidity this time of year. We have 70-80% ambient humidity then a front comes through and it knocks it down to 10-20%. You adjust for one and it changes again.

I would rather hatch in December with 40 below than this stuff.

Tsk, tsk. I'd cull her if she was a chicken. Too wimpy for my likes.

Yes, the cuckoo marans has been in the house but not lately. He's been evading my hugs.
Silly bird.
