Happy New Year!!
Well, the good news is, we have 5.
The 'not-so-good-news': Of the 43 eggs set late Dec 9, 2 rotted [one of them exploded ]
, 17 were infertile
, 2 were 'early quitters'
, 5 have hatched today
& 17 are apparently fully developed and w/air sacs in the broad end, but no beaks in the air sacs and no movement detected. No pips, no peeps, no wiggly eggs. I think they must be dead.
. I think my babies are adorable but am bummed about the 'silent seventeen"!
, Not to mention the 19 duds!
More GOOD news.
I have been given a Hovabator still air 'bator that holds it's temp
, an auto turner that works
, 20 [plus what we gather tomorrow evening] fertile eggs
[unless they aren't
] , and therefore another chance.
Any recommendations for what to do about the "silent seventeen" would be greatly appreciated. We have to drive back to middle TN on Saturday.
Now the question: I have an old computer fan. Is there a simple way to install it into the Hovabator? If not, I need advice on how to have even temps. where to measure temps, etc. So far the temp is holding [after initially being at 104* !] at 100* but the humidity is only about 37%.
Waiting your replies with baited breath....................
