I know i am not suppose to open the bator, but then how do i spray the eggs?

You spray them before you close the hatcher, Do you have a foamie? If you do you can use a "straw" on a spray bottle to hit some of them through vent holes.

Interesting.

Yeah.

I know i am not suppose to open the bator, but then how do i spray the eggs?

Any pips?

I don't think you need to spray them unless you open it. If your humidity is low can you add water without opening?

.

Yes. I have a straw and a kind of ketchup bottle. I put the straw through the vent hole down to the resivoir and put the ketchup bottle tip in it (which has water in it) and fill it up.

X2? I usually just toss a damp paper towel in rather than spraying. It's easier.

When I used foamies I laid a sponge right under the vent hole to put the water in.

 

[The Duck Ladie]

Yeah.
Any pips?

Nope. They are taking their sweet time.

I think magpie egg d rolled. The eggs were in a perfect row and md is sideways now.

Nope. They are taking their sweet time.

Then I would think it'd be safe to open for a minute. It's after the pips happen you have to be careful of.

You have had a pretty rough time.

How /when did this all start?

My hand/wrist was crushed between a door and moving stretcher 9/4. @ weeks in an MRI was done showing a complex TFCC tear. was in a splint for 6 weeks-standard protocol treatment for the injury but hand/arm started swelling and changing color which my pcp and the radiologist who read my MRI said was not consistent with a TFCC tear. Saw the ortho that specializes in it who was recommended by 4 other orthos and my ER docs. He said swelling and color change was due to the splint and immobilization, had me remove it and start OT. 2 weeks in the swelling color change and pain got worse and the therapist told me to stop until I saw the dr again. I called comp and asked for a second opinion or independent eval by another dr because the OT said this was not normal and comp denied me. The dr did an arthroscopic TFCC repair on 11/18 and I was back in OT. It has gotten worse. Pronation and supination and flexion and extension are severely limited, extensive swelling of hand and wrist and color and sensation changes not linked to any particular time or activity. Pain at its best is a 6-usually in the morning. Pain wakes me up after 4 hours when the tylenol/motrin starts to wear off and it is horribly to try to fall asleep due to pain being worse at the end of the day. Narcotics keep me awake so I do not like to take them and best relief i have is either a moist heating pad, an epsom salt bath, Tens unit or rest and elevation. My hand/arm will turn ice cold and white/blue or red and mottled and on fire. also my whole are will lock up to my neck and shoulder so I take a muscle relaxer-mostly at night to help me sleep. Thats about it....

I am thankful my Dr. spent some time with me last visit and acknowledged this is not normal and that something is wrong-even if he doesn't know what it is. He won't do the ulnar shortening osteotomy now as he fears that it will exacerbate whatever is going on. Apparently comp and disability do not like the diagnosis of not knowing what is wrong so they are sending me for an IME which is annoying since I requested one and was denied 4 months ago prior to surgery. Retaining an attorney was per the suggestion of my cousin who is chief of rhematology at one of our major hospitals & has been in practice 25+ years. I will PM you a couple pics of what it is doing if you want-maybe you have some insight as to what this might be.

Who wants to make guesses on who will pip first? Ma, mb, mc, md, me, mf, mg, mh, aa, ab, ad, ae, or af?
