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

[DwayneNLiz]

Nope. Hubby just had me put the 5 boys out in the main part of the yard and seperate them from te flock. He says the birds need to mow the lawn. We grow our lawn faster than the birds can eat it down.

LOL, how are the goatlings?

I have 3 eggs in the incubator. It is day 24. No piping yet, but on day 18 they were good when candled. What do I do? Any suggestions?

Hey, all - Kassaundra has some "toddler" photos of her latest scaleless Fm chicken up over here, including his current clothes (he's still small enough to wear just a modified sock, though she says he's a drama queen about it).

REALLY naked chick

- Ant Farm

Eggs are a cross of Ameracauna and Silkie. Temp 99.5 and on lickdown humidity is 65%. The bator is a Brinsea.I did draw the air cell at 7 and 14 days. Not shipped eggs. From my 15 month old hen.

I did not calabrate, but will candle this evening. Will I be able to see movement if the chicks are still alive. The chicks are really crowded by this stage of the incubation.
