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

[BantyChooks]

I have a feeling a Chippendale dancer would still be worthless to me. What good is he to me...unless he has carpentry skills for building new coops? I can't help but imagine he would cost me more than he's worth with the upkeep.

However the dunking bird will have me laughing for months!! And those laughs are free!

If he can build coops I've already claimed him.

This is my first time hatching but I'm pretty sure my humidity is way too high. I'm at day 6, the humidity has stayed 60-70% most of the time it's finally gotten down to 49% but then I removed the second red plug for oxygen and humidity is climbing again! Checked the weather and on this bright sunny day the humidity is 79%. I live by the coast but other than a few hot days in the summer it doesn't really feel humid so I never realized. What can I do to decrease the humidity? I spent a lot of money to have these hatching eggs shipped I'd hate to have them all drown!

Uncooked rice in the bottom. Good luck!

its what i get for free ranging
i was looking at them the other day trying to figure out which ones i was going to butcher
i guess my mind has been made up for me
too bad i dont get to eat them

and i lost most of the birds i was going to show this weekend

Sounds to me like a pack of feral dogs

So you are saying that every time there is progress made on the construction of your your new coop you would be stuffing a dollar bill in his speedo?

Dry rice in a stocking. The stocking makes it possible to simply toss the rice when you're done.

That's why I copied it.. So I could super zoom. I saw that. I felt it was glued my man. My opinion anyway. I am always hard to believe things I see on the net.
HI WHITES!

Howdy howdy!
