Ended Halloween Hatch-A-Long 2018

[muddy75]

my temp is staying pretty stable now with the exception of 1 screwup...i evidently did not get the egg turner post engaged properly last night and the top popped open my thermometer is all over the place 5* either way.....so i’m basically just using it for humidity reading and trusting the meat probe which is showing constant 99-100. in the brooder box it is somewhat insulated and the shed itself stays about 10* +/- warmer than outside. i have also started running the heat lamp above and at the other end to keep the area around the box a bit warmer. all seems okay but will know more at next candling.

i feel so stupid right now! i just realized that my meat probe thermometer is blue tooth so i don’t have to keep running outside to double check the temp!! i have it right on my phone!

Well it looks like I'm done. The eggs my broody had are gone. No clue what became them but they've vanished. They were due to hatch in less than a week. Oh well

I'm new here to BYC. My name is Kayla and I'm a hatch-a-holic. I actually joined BYC because of this hatch-a-long!! Such an exciting idea!

So, for this Halloween Hatch, I set 12 (SHIPPED) Crele Orpington eggs yesterday - 10/10/18 @ 8 pm.

Sending everyone hugs and positive vibes on this fun journey.

Candled last night = 2 blood rings & 10 developing.
