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

Liquid CMPK like I said about livestock products, many meds are the same ingredients different names, like our generics. TSC never has any in stock here so I have to buy the cmpk gel from animal health, but I asked them to look into a liquid and carry it, per my vet.


what I do? Hi Dax, your home is so cute!

Hi kat! Kat have you been on jeffers lately? go into their electrolyte health section, they have a bunch of good products now and can be used for many critters!



You did good, more than most would do and with over 50 kids in camp and your ringleader! At least you were tough enough to handle tubing etc and not pay a vet a small fortune, the items you bought in the long run can be reused if needed and are certainly much much less than a vet charge! I will remind you to please send out testing, and from now on, skip the auction for goats unless your going to eat them and purchase from a tested clean free herd! or Consult with Mike, Me or Dax first! In the end cheaper isnt always better esp animals!

oh no! I really dislike those incubators and thermostats, @generaldsherman Banty actually used a lego on the knob for the thermostat so you can fine tune it, seems like just a bit is huge on them! Also you can calibrate thermos google that if you havent, also try heat sinks in it!! First off, flat pebbles,marbles anything, just sterilize with a bit of bleach water and rinse well first, covering the bottom of the bator will help keep temps more regulated, the area bator is located is key as well. another lady uses easter eggs along with pebbles in the turner area she fills them with sand or something to keep heat in. the fuller the bator the better, in my coolerbators I aways use mason jars with water as heat sinks. Sorry so late to the game here, but perhaps can help later on!!
GOOD LUCK!! whatcha hatchin?



BENNY! I am so surprised at how few people I see in your images!!! My thoughts on that place is people out the butt all over!!

We start school at 2.5/3 years old here, so yeah the boy begins school next September. And soaping is slow, I changed my website over to a independent site off Etsy and things have slowed to a crawl. I do plan on doing Youtube videos soon though which might draw in purchases. People are weirdly into soap pouring and cutting videos lol, the ASMR is real.
 
I did before the first incubation (two months ago) and it was all fine. Do I need to do it before each incubation?

Also...I have goats! Five of them! :D
What Breed! I have NDs

Yes; thank you! Some of my eggs last hatch had air cells that took up half of the egg.

So, does humidity not matter too much for the first 7 days, until I can see how the air cell is growing? I am worried about having it too high or too low, and not being able to recover from that. That's kind of what happened last time--I noticed the air cells were getting quite large around day 14, and increased the humidity up to 55-60%, but it didn't slow the air cell growth nearly enough. My first instinct with this hatch was to start with the humidity high-ish from the beginning, but then I read all of that dry hatch info....
They covered you well, humidity is NEVER a set number its always what your eggs need, mind you some will always be smaller and some larger, go for what the general majority needs. never go below 15% If eggs are 2 3 days fresh I always start at 25% checking day 7 and adding or lowering as needed, try to get them to where they need to be before day 17 and you can still alter humidity until you see external pips but dont go too low after day 20 for large fowl, ice I would say day 18

wow, and I swear I thought you had a girl! omg so many babies came the last few years!! I never did Etsy I am not sure if I could afford their fees and still have people buy soap! People in general dont realize how much these oils and stuff cost I guess.
 
Hello peoples, busy days, had two of the grands yesterday along with the typical daily kids, can I say I cant wait till aug 26 and kids go back to school? or is that terrible? how moms can home school ive no clue, I got used to having time to make soap and care for eveyrthing last year and now bam, filled with kiddos and babies again lol
