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

when I used to use one, I left it in for the duration.  but I bought a pack of them off ebay real cheap   I dont use them anymore, I think I only used them in the styro bators

how sweet!!! I am so jelly!!!


responded to your PM. I need to know what state.  Glad to see you back, liability is on you in PA.  We can discuss when you have time.  If not in PA you need to call your STATE ag center and ask about how to become one, A lot of states only let Licensed Vets of the state do this. because there is no funding for outside training for poultry etc.  But you must check. 
sighhhhh lovely

I always have above 70 humidity after lockdown, only time I dont is

1. I forget to up it
2. air cells were too small and last attempt to correct, and even then when drawdown occurs its up 72-75 and higher.

I cringe when I read some people  hatch at 60-65% but whatever dries out the boat, ummmm mean floats the boat have at it.  Some people dont realize their hygros are that off and are running much higher than expected too.  but again each has their own thing that works.  



HEY NOW!!! :eek:

:lau

:love

Hi runt!

:)

How are you doing?

:weee :weee :weee :weee :weee :weee :weee

I would say labs are in order then.  I doubt if you can get urine from him to take in, take a stool sample in as well. 

awwwww glad it was just that then.  I text you back BTW  sorry long nap this afternoon

:he   ughhhhh they should be smarter than that   have you moved the lamp to where they huddled now? 

:pop

how about crele orphs lol

Yeah. I have.

Nah, Tortuga as in I've got this shell stuck on my back and I look like a silly turtle, Tortuga, LOL

My Brinsea is quickly running out of space. Third chick is zipping and I think there is another in the wing. These guys are going from pip to zip in less than 8 hours and once they get going they are out of there. 

When can I chance tipping the canopy enough to pull some empties out? Humidity is running almost 90 with the hatches. I had to open a vent as it was going higher. I'd really like to make space as soon as possible.


Ah.

I run it up til I see condensation, and then back off 'nuff for it to not be there... That's about 65-70% for me on 3 different hygros depending on what Bator I use, all calibrated :confused:

Hmm... I wonder if correct hatching humidity is dependent on incubator and vents? I saw someone that had the best hatch rates at 45-60% the other day. :eek:

And ROFL @ "drying out the boat" :lau
