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

[Pensmaster]

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.... 

Day 7 for me. Candle tonight although I did take a peek from top day 5 at a couple and saw nothing on shipped and my eggs.
Maybe the candle wasn't bright enough, it's one I built. I usually don't see what everyone else shows pictures of and still get chicks. I did use a different disinfectant this time.
What's a good candler to purchase anybody?

Good morning everyone.

ughhhh why did I feel my scar when I read that!!!! Hi beautiful!! whats up this lovely day? plans for the weekend?

Why didn't I get an email that you responded? Grrrr!
Well, just be sure that your head is sewn on tight! My plans for the weekend are to stop being lazy. I may not be able to handle cleaning the coops yet, but I really should get the house tamed. Especially since I lost a new book I had gotten Duckling. I think despite her protests that it is a horrible story, @heatherfeather7 stole it.

DANG I am all alone!!! I should go do the dishes!

That looks so tempting!

Thanks, MC! You always make my day with this!

and

I haven't been able to grow it successfully here either. You know how it says "Plant in full sun"? Yeah, not so much around here... Fried mint anyone?

Mowing this weekend - it's already getting long again.

Now I am sad. First, thank you for thanking me.
I have had some doozies when it comes to landscapers. Despite cutting my power line to the coop, I didn't want to lose the last guy. For all the times that I fretted that he was going to switch to another company like the others, he SWORE he wasn't ever going to leave me. Like really really really. I have heard that before, but this guy was adamant! Guess who texted me, "I am going to another company, and won't be in your area anymore" yesterday?
The guy didn't know that I had mint as he mowed it down again and again. I guess it will finally grow back now... And I will have to be very careful to keep any oils contained in the house (Heather will hopefully be visiting again).

Bet Heather thinks we are tough now lol @MotorcycleChick @heatherfeather123

She will never visit in the winter again!

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.

No, you didn't kill them all. It takes a while for the internal temp to reach the external.

Good morning Abi!

I bought a 19 dollar one off amazon and it works well... sort of. my darker green eggs still are hard to see through.
