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

[OneMountainAcres]

Most of mine just love a nice warm soak and basically lay down and take a nap in it till I wake them up and tell them they're done lol

Anybody seen where I left my hot glue gun?

At least you got to do something productive!

I'm in need of help. I have 16 eggs not hatched. I see no movements, no chirping, no egg movement (except the little ones already hatched and playing)
I've made sure humidity is staying between 75-80, temp is 99. I've seen one internal pip. Time to assist?

No. But I wouldn't hesitate -if you are experienced- to check one.
The issue with high humidity right now, is that too much moisture inside the shell can get into their nose, and aspirate them.

How on earth Does one get a chicken to soak their feet? That might be a sight to see. Set up an exhibit and charge a fee to look. . bam there's your vet money!

A full sink of warm water will put most chickens to sleep. I've treated a few egg bound hens. I leave the room, and just go back when I hear movement.

Behind the refrigerator. You'll find the glue in the junk drawer.

Speaking of naps there's something wrong with my chair. Every time I sit in it I fall asleep.

I know exactly where it is

Get out of the fridge, silly; and hand it over.
