grannys gone and done it

[Yorkshire Coop]

No didn't call them It does feel better than it did and I'm keeping up with the tablets and some drops.

Yeah day 16 today I finally got that evil incubator to 65% but had to put lots of wet paper towel in the bottom. I've rigged up a syringe and tubing to put water in without opening it up as its too dodgy and erratic

socks stay wet longer and I found something good. those little plastic containers with lids, cut a strip of sponge long ways , cut a hole in the container lid the size of it an let it "wick" out. I leave the sponge out about an inch. Fill the container.

It's only been at 65% since this aft so will recheck before bed and in morning. If it's not holding well enough I will give your sponge and container a whirl

It's only been turned on for 24 hours and it's given me more worry than I dont know what!! I would not mind but there's not even any eggs in it yet :/
I remember now why I got a new one!!

Why do you want the himidity higher than 65%?

 

[Granny Hatchet]

Hi enola, Imm run feed and water. sure dont want to but I am just as sure they want me to. LOL BB

 

[Yorkshire Coop]

I'm not wanting it higher than 65%, just for it to stay there for decent amount of time. I can add water during the day but I'm not getting up in the night to do it.

Granny when do silkies get their top knot?

 

[enola]

I thought they were born with their top knot...

 

[Granny Hatchet]

I thought they were born with their top knot...

depends on the quality? Not sure if thats the right way to say that. some silkies have vaulted sculls some dont. Those that do "look" like they are born with a top. and supposedly not as top quality. ( Not my words) . Some grow them big some just have a tiny puff. Unfortunately I cant answer original question . LOL depends on the chicken. AKA blood lines. I Think they come with the other feathers/fuzz does.

@Sally Sunshine Is this correct ?
