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

[duluthralphie]

Hi All..

I have not read back just wanted to say a quick "Hi" I still have hours of work ahead of me....Poor me...



And to brag,,,, I just turned on my 4th incubator, by next week at this time I should have 1,000 eggs in the machines, Unless I am slow putting them in like today and the hatcher empties before I get the trays loaded and if the weather stays good..



Also I lost my first chick of the year today, A little Cuckoo Maran, I had been doing so good I was afraid to say anything, and jinx myself... And I have not had to set one DUX egg to fill the machines!


I want a goat! Maybe 10. The WWD is anti-goat.

I feel I should update and make some minor changes to my bragging...It appears I did a beginner chicken incubation thing and counted my chickens before they hatched..


I candle the eggs for the 6th and threw away 64 eggs. I kept 36 of the 36 25 might hatch the others are too dark to see in or I am doing a "hail Mary".


What I have left :

6- Dominiques
3- toads
1- Maran ( I am willing to bet against it hatching)
5- Yokohama
5 Polish ( I really had to use my imagination to make 2 of them good)
16 legbars


When candling before washing I found 18 frozen eggs. Of the ones I set a good 25% have yolk problems or air sac problems. Another "hail Mary" Hatching in Winter in Minnesota Vacuums.

I set:
19 Doms
19 Yokohams
15 "frost white Legbar
13 Polish
5 toads
14 Partridge Chanticler
1 Turkey
3 Speckled Sussex
4 Cuckoo Marans
1 Appletini....


Which means I will hatch 13 birds on the 24th., Oh and I unplugged the incubator I just started. I might not need it until May.

Banty sweets, sorry so long,  I ran to hershey to take her stool in for testing (more than you need to know right?) anyways, mom stayed here to watch her and the sick puppy, Hershey is about 50 minutes from here, anyways long story short.....  she is in the hospital.

 I need the long story!!! 

I know nothing, Phage has been a blessing with all this.  she has been spot on everytime throughout her illness.  Seems her Lipase, amylase, TBil, ALB, Prot, WBC in urine, ALL HIGH now, so she got more labs tonight her dad said and will do another ultrasound. 

Pancreatitis? She might need a CT if they can't get an answer with the ultrasound. If it's pancreatitis (sounds like it from what you say), it's serious, so I'm glad she's in the hospital.   

If pancreatitis I can't understand the high WBC in urine?
