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

[daxigait]

I learned yesterday that my new Llama can jump a four foot plus fence. Who knew. My other two have never done anything like that.

GOOD MONDAY MORNING!

I HOPE EVERYONE HAD A PRODUCTIVE WEEKEND!

Thanks - I needed that! I had a moderately productive weekend. I always seem to get the most done on Sunday evenings with Monday looming, though. If I had Monday off, I'd probably just end up getting everything done Monday evening instead.

Mornin peeps. I'm not ready for monday....

Here we have Exhibit #1 - no way could I handle this, I'm a wreck even with a pretty solid incubator. I'd lose my mind over something like this (and never manage to hatch anything).

I couldn't sleep last night (fog plus near full moon = really bright outside), and had a gut check on the chicken math thing. With the 25 S&G Naked Neck chicks coming this spring, I think I'm going to keep my hatching of my own eggs pretty limited (though I may try to hatch at least some). There's only so much housing I have, and more chickens = more time/work. No ducks or turkeys for the foreseeable future, I think...

(We'll see how long this reasonable attitude lasts... Set your stopwatches...)

I'm not. I know the incident....happened before your grass even sprouted, let alone turned green.
So eat breakfast, then re-evaluate. You just may discover something obvious. When you get right down to it, 99* isn't an automatic death sentence; it may delay the hatch a day...so what?

I was running 99-100 (my Hov-A-Bator's really touchy) the last time around, & mine came 2 days early

Aint the 99 that was worrying me; it was the 95 of this mornin'.

Sounds like a plan to me

I can call you an idjit if you want me to

Have you checked all your wired connections to make sure it's not a loose wire?

I'm sure you would.

Yeah; nuts are all tight.... Looks okay.

Oh, goody.
Is the fence juiced?

Hopefully you were able to get him back to where he needed to be.

Hey now!! Don't let my problems discourage others- It's what I get for making it out of dubious materials and going off the beaten path a bit.

Off the path a bit? I don't think you ever started on the path

Did too! I did what I was told for the LG hatches.
