Happy Sunday y'all! Going to buy a new waterer and a snack for the girls today while I'm out getting snake food and containers for the Christmas decorations. Haven't been able to put away the Christmas stuff because we don't have enough boxes.

Morning we are officially frozen this morning. 32*
Break out the long johns

We're officially unfrozen for the second day in a row.

It's getting a little messy out there though.

Hey there everyone... Just pulled my homemade incubator out after 3 moves a fire and storage and I have exposed wires.. So now i will have to reread all the information and figure out what popped off and fix it. Lol which is fine, i need a good refreshers course anyway.

Well, would you look at what the cat drug in! I thought you'd died, or didn't like us anymore.
Fire? When? Where? Everyone alright?

K I so need help idk know what to do. I had 14 viable eggs on day 18. I had 4 eggs hatch on day 20 and 1 more early day 21 then nothing no movement or peeps so I water candled late day 22 no movement or peeps but I had 3 floating to high so I put them on one side and I had 6 floating just right so I put them on the other and have continued to watch. I pretty much had figured they were gone but late last night end of day 23 I heard a peep got up at 4 this am and heard a peep but now I hear nothing and no movement. What should I do at this point??? Should I just wait or check somehow and see if I need to help it...this is driving me crazy

In the beginning of this thread there’s many tips on hatching eggs. Look for when to assist.

This should get you there. If those were large fowl eggs it sound like your temps were too high.

She looks so much better! I taped her legs and feet with tape. She’s sitting in a cup relaxing in the incubator.

Good morning careful of the slip and slide out there.

Beautiful NN Benny. Good morning. I don’t have NN anymore. They weren’t as big as the regular ones I’ve been working with.
