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

[Pensmaster]

Too bad.

Membrane was dry. I wet it down.

That's all it needed!

Umbilical is a little raw looking, and poop stuck to its butt. I'm going to add good and water while it waits on right egg. No veins!

This was 71+ hours internally pipped. I only messed with them every 10-12 hours.

You could, but I didn't notice a difference when we tried.

I was afraid of that too much moisture for it to overcome.

Quote: I wouldn't go so far as to say mine are typical, except maybe of RSL's. Except for a few BR's several years ago, I've only had RSL layers. I've seen 7 or 8 yr. old layers of other breeds posted on here.

Quote: Definitely possible! We run one all summer. Drains into a big Tupperware-type of pan, probably 2+ gal., that I have to empty every day, or we'll have water on the floor. Most of it gets used on the tomatoes & peppers when it's hot & dry.

Give it another day or two. Cull if necessary.

We had fun, alright. Usually about half a dozen of us, all long-time friends. It was an all day job, but the end product was sure good. I miss it.

Yummy applebutter.....

I use the splayed leg treatment on them using paper tape. It has worked on 3/4 chicks I have had to do it on. It limits their mobility just enough to help their joints get stronger but they can still move to eat or drink. also give them scrambled eggs and Poultry cell for added nutrition and healing. hope this helps.

We had one here due to water leaks, it had a one gallon container to collect water but had an automatic shut off. The thing was always off. It really did help the moisture from the leak though.
