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

[mlm Mike]

And so it begins. I remember those days. My first two were mother & daughter, both supposedly open. Went down one morning to feed & water, & found 5 new ones. So much for being open. I'd never heard of "trips" back then.

That's be a nice surprise.

Anybody on here able to tell me who's selling heating pads w/o the auto shutoff feature? Picking up a dozen eggs next week, & may need it for an MHP

Funny how they look like they're still carrying, even though they're done. I guess it's from everything being stretched out for so long & takes time to readjust. I can hear her now, "Momma told me not to mess with that guy".

She'll be nice and dairy looking in no time.

That's like the 2 blondes that hired onto a landscaping crew, laying sod. The owner had to keep telling them, "green side up, ladies, green side up"

that's getting to the root of the problem..

Any good news?

Well everybody except the really hoped for french black copper maran egg hatched in my little tupperware 'bator. Had 70% of the custom EE's and only 2 birchen marans out of 24 eggs. The birchens got up to 104 at one point though, so I'm not too surprised, just disappointed. The CCL's had around 70% hatch too, so not great but not bad. Last chick just hatched about an hour ago. day 22. lol
