You might not like that I leave my wet feed to sit on purpose for a few days before I feed it out.
fermented feed fan here.
Let it sit for a few hours is perfectly fine.

Me too but for Ralphies sake I was skirting around that.

I haven't had a chance to look at hatch a batch yet.

it not all that and has me confused right now.

 

[Pensmaster]

It has been steady 99.5-99.6.

Textbook but I don't go by textbook. I'm usually running 100.5. And always check your thermometer even if you had a successful hatch last time. Don't ask how I know

He can complain all he wants.
I will just do this:

I was just warning him so his blood pressure wouldn't go up.
I was trying to be nice ya know.

I'm still roundabouts. It's been about a week and my sinuses are clearing up. Just coughing up slime now. Seasonal allergies hit me hard but this is the first year it hasn't caused a sinus or throat infection!

Same here. Sally ferments her feed too if I remember correctly.

I set a app Sally mention on my phone when we set them on Friday Sept 1st at 12pm Mo time. According to app they were 15 1/2 days developed at last candling. I'll have to compare some to online pics cause we were looking to bump RH up to 60% tomorrow and pull the off turners and lock down tomorrow night. (Monday 12 pm is start of day 18.) We were a little worried cause we have read sometimes silkies hatch sooner.We do appreciate feedback cause were are new to this and these eggs mean too much too us to really be using our first go arround with a incubator.



No problem we still know you've been around and are pretty knowledgeable.

Those look better. Maybe just the camera that made it look funny?

I sometimes do a 'ferment' just because my birds like it. Even if it did help it'd still be too much trouble to feed it since it'd freeze near instantly for most of the year.
