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

[Sally Sunshine]

One year ago today I set my very first batch of eggs.... Started this crazy way of life some call incubating. I've learned a ton and had fun over the last year, and it's all thanks to you guys..... I stink at serious thank-you's, so instead I'll just say this has been more fun than a barrel of monkeys and I appreciate y'all muchly.

Special thanks to Miz Sunshine, who managed to put up with the 500 zillion questions I PMed her and still not groan when I logged on.

dawwwwwww and who said I dont groan

Not the ice, the thermometer!

Yes I guess you can have them this time since I already have eggs coming. But the next ones are mine.

I take it you bought something like an Accu-rite rather than the spot check or Thermoworks that I suggested.

You would already be incubating rather than beating your head against the wall.

@Fire Ant Farm I am glad to be of service. I needed something smaller for the one run, and an old covered cat box I had found and put on a shelf in the barn(after a good cleaning seemed perfect).
Your chicks look big. I look forward to seeing how they turn out.

Thanks! 3 week weights coming on Wednesday - and then I'll have two points for each chick. You know what that means....

GRAPHS!!!!!!

(OK, I really need to get back to work.)
