Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

I should say the wafer isn't set right.

All the eggs are in lock down in my genesis. I put them in egg cartons to try to limit the "egg rolling contest". There were none pipped yet but I think they are wanting out of there..... I do not hatch and incubate in the Dickey. I had read on this thread that it was best not to. I took the water OUT of the Dickey. I had been "dry incubating" when all I had was my three genesis but it came with the tray hose and bucket so I thought it was something I NEEDED to use. I have the vent open half way, but it is still kicking off and on every min. or so and the temp is still fluxuating about a degree. Any Ideas? Could it be that the theomoeter is "blowing back and forth" because of the fan? Is there another kind of theomoter/ hygrometer I can get for it? I really don't want to mess things up now....
Thanks for the help

You should not hear the thermostat click on at all. That tells me the wafer isn't set in the right position.

Cool so now they don't even have to slow down as they drive by and toss the boxes of fragile hatching eggs over your fence as they go by.

Wow, only you could make me laugh out loud about that.

Thank you for the suggestions and the help, everyone.

Got rid of 10 chicks yesterday and 7 today. Put 7 eggs into lockdown yesterday and another 28 today. Chicken math!!!

I used a couple of huge bulbs from two different angles with a little natural sunlight for the puppy photos.


OK, removed the halo and tweaked a little. Happy with it, now.





Now, off to check on the chickens, poor things are sure they'll die if they leave the coop. Too much snow, says they.

I like the logo! Muting the background was a great idea!

I know what you mean!! I sold 18 A&M quail today and brought home 32 chicks from Susan's. Most of them are going to be sold. I only plan on growing out 11 to see how they turn out.

My eggs hatched!

both the Rhodebar eggs Papabrooder sent in a Hen's choice hatched. and it's a pair!!!!

I'm concerned about the female though. She doesn't seem to be able to control one of her legs, she wobbles around okay, but something sure isn't right.

Hmm... I'll try to get a picture, it's looks okay, it's just limp.
