just because i did not know what i know now does not mean i well make the same mistakes that i had made, the first time if i do it again. so why cant i hatch any more?i know this is probably going to set some of you guys off.( or at least you) but come on i'm not stupid. i wont make the same mistakes twice.
It's not the hatching.
It's what happens AFTER the hatching. Suddenly, you go from "inert things" to a living, breathing, blinking, pooping, growing creature that has specific needs.
I imagine the reason your chick stopped peeping when you placed your hand over him (mentioned in one of your previous posts) is because it got warm and dark, and he was suddenly "under mama."
Every one makes mistakes hatching (except me. hahahaha... haha.. hmm). I promise no one is getting on you for honest ignorance. You learn as you hatch so you can hatch better, and the thousands of years of combined experience on BYC makes this a *perfect* place to hone your skills. Iron sharpens iron, they say.
The part that ruffles our feathers, so to speak, and I feel I speak for all my peeps in the thread, is that once the fuzzy butts make the scene, there doesn't appear to be a place for them to, you know, GO. And there are more on the way....
We didn't mean stop hatching chicks. We just meant pause hatching until you are better set up to care for them as they develop. And by this, we mean an appropriate brooder until they are fully feathered and can go outside.
