Halloween Hatch-A-Long 2017

@Wickedchicken6 and @venymae

jut be careful with the thermometers that the temp is on the background and not on the actual thermo, the backing can move

and that can be the reason the temp is so off

That's a very good point to make!!

The basic hardware ones are glued and I checked them every time I calibrate to ensure they're still solid. I've only got two that are no longer trustworthy and that may be because I dropped one hardware therm and broke the bulb from the holder.

The other was an aquarium therm of which I dropped, and then proceeded to step on and crush in a most spectacularly, unbalanced move.

I thought once they were incubated for a few days, the bullseye can no longer be seen.

I believe you are correct.

On a better note, I successfully assisted 5 call ducklings today. 4 in the brooder, one still in the incubator gaining her strength. tiny babies.

So orginally had 21 Eggs in the bator.
Last night candled them all.

Of the original 15 silkie eggs given to me, one had a blood ring. All other 14 are developing.

Of the 4 silkie eggs that came from the fridge (my old silkie's egg), one is a dud, completely clear. Another had a blood ring, and last two are developing. So two of those left.

I also happened to check in the nesting box, to see if by any chance there were the ebay shipped eggs my broody was setting on before she was killed. Of 7 only two were not cracked. I put those two in the bator as well, and they are both developing.

Nope, not even after I left bad feedback.
