[fire370]

@fire370 so how did your hats finish Out? Boy it must be cold on the Plains today
are the grounds hard enough for you to get the concrete out there today but you can't pour it and tomorrow it'll warm up and you can't get out again

Ended up at 97% on the quail rack I counted and kept tracked.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I just wish thinking about pancakes didn’t make me drool so bad.









An Amazon fairy sent me this stuff.

Yes I can’t complain.

I'm on day 21 of my 2nd attempt at incubating my chickens eggs, and again, it's looking like its gonna be another failed attempt, the first 16 eggs made it all the way till day 21 as well and they were all dis, after I held hope that something would happen all the way until day 25 when I finally threw them out, which by the way was heartbreaking. My temps been consistent at 37.2-37.8, humidity has been between 50-65, I can't seem to get it regulated. Any help would be appreciated, I bought the roo and hens grown and laying, so I'm not sure of their age, I'm thinking about buying some fertile eggs via ebay n trying my luck there, thoughts are welcomed.

Hello, Jennifer. Welcome to BYC. I’m sorry to hear you’re having issues.
First, did you calibrate your equipment to be sure they are accurate?
Second, perhaps lower humidity would help. More like 40%.
