@ChickenCanoe I left him one of those plastic one quart screw in waterers on the heat pad today. I am hoping that he will not knock it over or with his comb or get his wattles wet today until this weekend when I can make sure he is using the horizontal nipple waterer.

@Sally Sunshine that puppy picture is too cute. Boy people could make a fortune if they had ones that permanently looked like puppies or kittens.

I'm incubating eggs for the first time. I've been candling them every few days. I had been noticing their air cells hadn't changed much so I made sure to make a dark outline the last few times. Well, now I'm seeing charts and it looks as though they should be a bit larger. I'm on day 15- day 16 tomorrow. I have reduced the humidity because I read somewhere that it would help. I plan to increase the humidity at lockdown in 2 days. Is this correct? Also, all of my eggs look good, plenty of movement, great veins, but I wouldn't necessarily say that the chick is filling the egg at this point, is that normal? Thanks for any info or tips! I appreciate it!

@Ladyfarm Welcome! Most of us start without water if its running over 20% the first seven days, and then adjust as needed
see if this basic info can help you out w/your hatch....

good evening everyone! It's been a busy day here. My dad had surgery on his shoulder first thing this morning to fix a torn rotator cuff and a couple ligaments. It was successful and he sounded good this evening when I talked to him, though he admitted that he still couldn't feel anything from the nerve block (he sounded rather goofy too lol). We also had my son's band/chorus concert tonight which was really nice. Hope everyone is good and staying warm! (I'm freeing my tooshie off!)

Thank you! I love this site BTW. I candled this particular egg because around day 7, it looked as though there were two embryos. I candled again at day 14, this is when this picture is from. And I only candled the rest today to check air cell.
Glad to hear that they seem to be normal as regards to not filling the egg, phew!

I want the return of the "old days" of these threads, when you could jump on here any time of the day or night and find a few people around.

Guess I'll go cuss the squirrels & hope for the deer to show up.
