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

[mlm Mike]

its been a few days since firing up my incubator, so last night I decided, after steadily monitoring the temp flux, to place the eggs into the bator finally! I had turned them manually a couple times a day. Here are the weights at set. Any feedback is appreciated. I tried to locate air cells on them, but it was difficult to see them to get a tracing of it, will it be ok?

Good evening all... I think I'm finally done Christmas shopping. Whew!!!

Lost one of my SLWs yesterday... it flew over the fence and went right in my dog yard.

Glad you're done with the shopping, Sorry you lost one of your SLWs.

This thread doesn't seem very educational. More silly stuff. I find it frustrating because BYC is a huge site and it takes so much time to navigate to the truly instructional pages. Tired, sorry.

You know anywhere you could get a duckling, maybe a week old? Maybe if she had a little one to mother it'd keep her interest up, and probably make her heal faster.

Maybe CL? Terribly hard this time of year.

I THOUGHT so! You DID say you were going to the vet with your toilet! Was wondering why you didn't simply call a plumber

The notes section was made for that very purpose. If you have a question, simply post it..... If any one of us knows the answer; we'll help.

This thread is VERY educational, when there's a need. Yeah, we screw around a lot, but when someone jumps in with a question/problem about most anything, chickens included; just ask BantyChooks.

glad you found us. You will be, too, if you stick around a little while...promise

Thankyou for that. I feel so overwhelmed because there're so many differing pages. Threads overlap, half the time it seems I'm in a different year--is that possible?

Welcome. Yes, it's possible to find threads started in other years.

If it isn't now, it probably will be in the next week or so.
It's not hard to get overwhelmed on BYC; not at all. You should try keeping up (more like catching up) to 3-4 or more threads at once; it gives a whole 'nuther meaning to "overwhelming".

Whatever you need, whenever you need it, we're all too happy to help if we can. If no one's around at the time, someone probably will be before long. Might be a good idea to keep a few user names handy, so you can tag someone if it's urgent.

Quite possible... This thread is a continuation of one that got shut down coz it was too long, and there were one or two before that one, I believe. The notes section is quite confusing, but if you've got specific questions DwayneNLiz or I can probably pull links connected with the topic.

(I'm the person who updates the notes; so I could probably recite half the stuff in my sleep)
