Granny's gone and done it again

Fun thing about the Seramas, they don't know they're small. The eggs are good too... big yolks for the size.


No micro. Some day get a pic of yours next to a regular sized one so I can see the size.
Not one of my best days. This is about the 8th day in a row of high heat. We are not used to this and it's taking a toll on me.


That would be 2 colors down, 7 to go? 9? You could create your own colors... black with a white crest, like a Polish. Or columbian! Do silkies come in columbian?


He's about 13 weeks and looking leggy. Hopefully it's just a stage. No saddles in sight, comb is still not red. I hope he's a she because she will end up being friendly. I haven't had a lap chicken since my first group.


This sounds easier than hatching! Not having any heatwaves out your way, I hope. Hope you get your rainbow!


My nerves won't take it! Some one else will have to eat Spike. I'm a big wuss about that.

Aww Wishing, you have got to get yourself at least a window shaker for the bedroom. I can't handle really hot weather or high humidity. I become the biggest bee-otch. I am constantly having hot flashes so high temps send me over the edge. Hope you & H2o get some relief soon

Jane I'm glad you made it through the storm.

Hanging out in the backyard watching chickens in their run. It's cooler tonight than it has been for a while thank goodness.

It's a hovabator 1602N I had a good hatch last time but I couldn't keep humidity up.

This time humidity was good until lockdown and I just couldn't get it high enough. All 4 troughs are filled up and it only got to 55% I had to add a wad of paper towels to get it to 70%. No condensation on the windows.

I might steal the sponge idea for lockdown next time.

It helps big time, my hovabator doesn't like getting up higher than 55% either. That's why I add the sponge below the vent hole & one at the corner where the turner cord exits. This allows me to stick a piece of air tubing through the hole & to add warm water as needed.

your saying it skipped places where it was zipping ? Thats why they go around the shell a few times before they can get out.
I think once you go into lockdown you should do everything you can to Not open the bator. I know you have to sometimes but its like a cold slap in the face to them and they dry a little each time.

Could you heat a wet sock in the microwave and toss it in? enough room?

Lost power so we went out to eat after the storm passed. DD GS GD & me. Power was back on when we got home.

Has the storm passed? Glad everything is okay... I was worried... tornadoes
I'll stick with earthquakes.

Don't go giving me color ideas lol I want some splash and paints. Those were the colors I wanted the most from these eggs.

Just storms. Might be ok.

No I mean you should have eggs by then lol
