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

[BantyChooks]

Did you check if she developed a gluten sensitivity? AKA Celiac?

Celiacs has more along the line of diarrhea, rather than constipation, and the gas pains aren't constant....

I didn't know that about Sally's daughter. It is probably food related.
Rice, almonds, some nuts are notoriously known to do that.
It could be not enough fibers, or water.

what all can cause stomach pain like that?

I have no clue, any inflammation would show up on labs as well as infections. So that leaves me with what? she is going to be 12 next week so I was thinking maybe a girl thing starting to happen, but yeezus if she has this much issue she is gonna be in for it every month for a very long time lol.

poor thing my daughter gets constipated, yogurt saves her, was activia now so long as it has live cultures it helps her (A LOT!!!)

Hello everybody!
I'm a first time incubator, and already fretting like the proverbial mother hen... worried I may have botched my first batch of eggs.
Last night after turning my eggs I forgot to wrap the incubator back up in its little homemade insulating sweater, and didn't notice till morning. The incubator was about two degrees cooler than it normally is for about 8 hours, though it didn't drop below 98 in the incubator at any point.
The eggs have only been in the incubator for five days, so my guess was that they're at an especially temperature sensitive stage? What's the prognosis guys? Late hatch? Dead embryos?

Welcome!!

I doubt you'll have problems, maybe slightly delayed, but not exactly something to worry over.

Look my 6 ducks are laying better than the chickens, I'm getting twice as many eggs from 1/4 as many birds, if you have a problem with that then please come convince the dang chickens lay more than two eggs a day.

Have you tried having them all watch as you take the head off a freeloader? I make sure the axe sits just inside the door of the coop when they slow down too much....

Or sharpen the axe in front of them, it gets them talking and they realize they need to pay rent...

Forgot to add- Still air or forced? What temp you running? Calibrated? Do the eggs still have ventilation with the "sweater"?
