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

[BantyChooks]

It got all good birds..No Mutts. 2 appletinis the rest were potential showbirds. But thats about all I have left showbirds and a few EE.

Cleaned you out good, eh? Are you still thinking it was a dog that did it?

Just make sure you only type after the "[/QUO]" - it's HTML code for the end of the quote box. I know a little bit (not much) of HTML code, but I still honestly find the coded text when using quotes in the reply box a GIANT pain...

Thank goodness I was already used to it, or I'd be mad as a wet hen.

Remember when rich text broke and everyone panicked? I spent most of the day helping people normally on a computer figure out how to quote.

Wish I'd got more done today but sit in the a c and go to the Dr. I got some kind of allergic reaction to something unknown and got a super itchy rash on arms face and nether regions lol ugh. Been miserable the last couple days. Can't be outside too long cause the heat flares it up.. That's torture for me! I wanna be outside!they give me steroids so probably won't be able to sleep. Who wants to stay up with me half the night????

I'll stay up... Can't guarantee I won't fall asleep in the middle of typing, though.

I had leather gloves on so Brooster did not hurt me too badly... BUT I found that a reason to hold his head down and cuddle him...he hates that.

I am leaning to coon. I have the coop/run divided into 2 sections and it went through the chicken door between the two sections, killing in both parts...
It would have to be a small dog.

I have a chick that I thought needed assistance hatching. All my other eggs had hatched and this one showed no signs. I worried it may be malpositioned because I had another that died in the shell due to a malposition. I read through the assisted hatching guide and did as it said for a malposition suspicion. This chick does not look ready to hatch as I can still see pretty thick veining. Do I just leave it in the incubator? I chipped away most of the air cell to check but didn't pierce the inner membrane.

It is going to be hard to go to sleep tonight and dream of the real Eileen after that!

I love it when I get excuses to cuddle my roosters.

Stakeout on the agenda, eh?

Yes, leave it in, and make sure humidity is high.

Did you not make it to the library?

Leave it - veins need to receded before it's ready. FWIW, sometimes some malpositions don't make it no matter what you do, so don't assume you could have done something different and saved it if it doesn't make it. But here's hoping...

Nope. I don't think I'll be able to make it before next week. It's in the opposite direction from everything I need to do.
