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

[mlm Mike]

104 today. Lost one Bielefelder hen. There’s plenty of shade and water for them to be cool. Here’s hoping they’ll do better coming up. Cooler for rest of week. Low 90’s

Sorry, to hear this.

Sorry, to hear this.

Thanks. One hen however has had a constant rumble since a chick. It may have been her.

If the rest did ok, you're probably good.

Deb kept two doelings this year, one doesn't act like a goat kid. I'm not certain how to describe her. I told Deb I think this one is retarded, she told me, good thing not much is expected from a goat, ea the right things, drink, pee, and poop. It has that down. Still think something's off.

The rest are fine so far. Not hearing the rasp either but I didn’t spend much time with them in the heat tonight. It was cooler though.
Got another dozen eggs to sell tomorrow which is good as I have someone that wants them.
I probably couldn’t tell the difference on the goats so hopefully it does ok.
A friend of mine is getting into goats. He has all the fencing built but I don’t think he knows how much they eat. I told him he’d need to bring them here so they’d have something more to eat. He seems to think his little run will support 6 goats. I didn’t see any vegetation in the fenced in area.

They'll need vegetation or hay.

His Hebrew initials compose the word- מח brain in Hebrew so I drew a brain on the knife handel, it will be hilarious to see a colonel in the IDF, carrying this knife

Benny what is "paper micarta" you keep on improving and are very creative and thoughtful when you make them. Love the detailed blades! the colonels blade also deer horn mimic in the blade top?

I got a small incubator as a gift - my friend has the same one and has hatched 2 batches from it. Fri was day 1 I set it at 38.1 c sat am I checked it and it was fine I checked. It an hour ago and it says 48- I’m not sure if the cat stepped on it or what- will increase in temp kill the eggs that early on?

I agree about high temp, what happened with your candle now? Did you know that adding sterilized stones/pebbles/marbles or anything that can carry heat will help control heat better in your bator?
