Mavis is a cute name. And unisex enough.
And sometimes you just have to experiment. Gotta find out what works best, even if you lose a few in the process.
I found this only an hour from me.https://zanesville.craigslist.org/grd/5553252455.html
Somebody take my car keys!
I'd be all over that thing!
Seriously, I'm upset about this!! I NEVER find any incubators on my CL or even any in the tri-state area.
I was just thinking the same thing...lol You never see incubators on our CL lolSeriously, I'm upset about this!! I NEVER find any incubators on my CL or even any in the tri-state area.I'd be all over that thing!
So I set 29 of my silkie eggs on Friday. I have them laying flat in the octagon 20 and am hand turning 5xday. I also squeezed in a little medicine cup with extra water, since my humidity does not go above 40% with both wells full. I shined the light on them this morning and every single egg has a beating heart!
I'm really hoping that since you have some batches of shipped under your belt and these eggs were super fresh that you will have a great hatch!
I'm never surprised when I hear of people dealing with strange things or things not going well when they say "yes, they were shipped". Shipping does quite a number on eggs! I received 18 shipped call eggs, which were packed terrible and only have 4 looking good, maybe 5. So I understand. Last year I was determined to get silkie eggs from a breeder in Florida. I ended up with two chicks that cost $100 each! I'm glad that you figured out that the bacteria was not the hygrometer or the incubator but the eggs themselves.
Well you've got 1 pip now, right? It's your call if you want to candle. I'm sitting here thinking if I would candle or not. I would really want to know if the other eggs were internally pipped so I could monitor how long they were internally pipped for but it would also depend on how good my incubator was with humidity.
I couldn't resist posting. Look at this baby!!
Yes! I'm still waiting on the hova bator. I have more eggs to set and I'm hoping the eggs that my friend gave me will still develop, as I have not set them yet.
That's awesome!! And 72% is good. Let's just hope it holds. My eggs pip the same way. I mean barely a tiny crack in the shell that's hard to see. But it's enough for oxygen to get in. Then once they have tested a bit (many hours) they start making the crack into a hole.
hahahahaha!!!
So today is day 19 for my silkies. Nothing happening yet. Lockdown late last night because I had a horrendous time at jury duty I had to have some shine to calm my nerves. Lol!!!
