Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that!!

I finally got my chicks. Only a few are still alive but it's apparent they won't be for long. I'll be surprised if they make it through today.

I'm numb. I've been so excited anticipating getting these CCLs, and now this. All the grogel cups are empty and chicks are strewn about everywhere in the box, in the cups, under the cups, draped over the cups. OMG, what did the PO do to this box.

That really stinks. SO sorry

Are you using a tabletop now? I am using the brinsea 20 advanced and was wondering if the smaller incubators have more trouble keeping the temp. up in the winter...it doesn't seem very insulated. I never notice it dipping but still.

I'm currently using 3 Genesis 1588's. They have always worked really well and keep temps great so I don't know why I'm having late hatches and late deaths

I have used the Octagon 20 in the past and it kept temps great but I needed more room and switched to the 1588's. Honestly, I just think it is to cold for shipping and that is possibly causing the hatch problems. Brinsea tabletops are usually very good

Thanks everyone. I'm not having much luck stopping the tears. Over chickens. Hmmph. I have all my chicks shipped to DM because I'm always at work when they come. She does not have an incubator but I think I will invest in another one to keep at her house. But DM is holding them in her hands close to the light to try to warm them up.

Does your mom have a heating pad? Those work wonders too!
