Back inside - I was able to get some more good work done, but still more to do. I have to work part of the day tomorrow (was hoping to take the entire day off, but there's a meeting I have to supervise). Hoping I can finish the housing up over the weekend...


(Boy, I'm beat!!!!)

A better idea is to REST AND HAVE SOME FUN in the weekend. The housing can wait. ....

I think in Kristen's case the blank is "build more coops"

Build more coops = more fluffy chicks= more"OMG they are SOOO CUTE!!"=hyper activity in dopamine reward pathway =dopamine reward pathway addiction and vice versa until this:

Good morning everyone,
Quick question to those expierenced hatchers.
I am on day 20 and currently in lockdown. When I put the single egg into lockdown (shipped egg) yesterday, I candles and it still had a bit of empty space on the bottom of the egg.
We had 2 short power outages early into incubation, so I waited a bit to put into lockdown because I realized this may have delayed the hatch a bit.
When I say short outage, I am talking 2-3 hours tops.
In your expierence do these short outages seem to delay hatches by days or hours?
Also I will add that I let all the shipped eggs rest for a bit too long(5 days) , so that may be why I only have 1 left! LOL!!!
But at least those aircells were rock solid!!!

Two or tree hour power outage should not be enough to slow growth.
