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

[Pensmaster]

I can see a fire coming and run,  I might not see one of them coming...

I really don't cut the grass to help fire season I cut it to see the snakes. If there ever was a fire here that was big the trees would fuel it much more than the grass would.

We live at the end of the road. Running may not be possible.

 

[Pensmaster]

No, but at least they warn you they are nearby.

Unfortunately I'm deaf to the noise they make. Not a good scenario. I've learned to watch very carefully. Usually you have to really do something stupid like stepping on them to get them to strike. Usually

 

[Pensmaster]

Don't envy you a whit.

I'm not sure the flies are any better really.

I went down to the hatcher this morning. My Hatch was Thursday night . I had 2 chicks in there, hoping against hope, they would survive. The one is crippled and I will have to send it to the "chamber" today.


The other was one the membrane shrink wrapped on, he seems healthy enough but his fluff does not fluff. We have oiled, combed shampooed and he just has no down. Without the fluff he will die...


Anyways, when I looked in the hatcher I have a 3rd chick today 4 days after the hatch. He has the same none fluff problem..

I find it weird when I run 70% humidity in the hatcher and do not open the door for almost 2 days and they shrink wrap.... The a hatch 4 days late WTHeck?

You might wish you would die from fly bites. But you won't....one of those bite and you will die..

True. But seldom fatal with treatment
