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

[TJChickens]

I would be doing laundry right now too, but the washing machine is covered with eggs in cartons.....cause the counters are covered with chick brooders...cause the hospital cages are full of shipped birds waiting to get acclimated...cause..... oh, dear. I am what my family says.

I think that in your case CCL is not Crested Cream Legbar, but CRAZY Chicken Lady!

Wow! that's a first. I got up to work... and I may, or may not have stuck a couple eggs in my incubator

I really, really, really like white fluff/biter's babies. the little bantam cochins are just so sweet....

Hey all, just popping in for some advice. I can't keep up with this thread on a daily basis. @Sally Sunshine

Incubating turkey eggs. Still air styrofoam incubator with automatic egg turner. Day 3 today. Last night, the temp was not stabilized, and a couple hours after I had turned up the temps, the temp was 105!! It was only that warm for an hour or so. Last night, when I came home at 1:00am (late movie) the temp was about 101. When I woke up at 7 am, the temp was 106!

Did I kill them all? Has anybody made this boo boo before and had any hatch? I only have 5 eggs on there.

Well.... we have 110 degree weather here in texas, and some how, stuff manages to hatch under broodies with these temps........... so while high temps are bad - it may not kill them if you can keep the temp stabilized from this point forward.
