Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Still no servers! I'm half tempted to just go home since the servers won't be up today.

Well, this weekend's hatch went amazingly well! We set 42 eggs, had three clears. Kept the other 39 in at lockdown, there were a couple suspicious but I just wasn't sure, and there was no leaking so what the heck, right? One pipped and quit, one I had to assist and he didn't make it. Four others didn't hatch, so we have 33 babies out of 42 set! Whoop! On an annoying note, my little divider's didn't work at all and I have to figure out who came out of what, which isn't easy in mixed breeds. I just need aother incubatort for hatching to I can stagger and know who'd who. I wanted to keep the ones out of my Ameraucana and a couple Marans and sell the rest. I think I know which are the Ameraucana's, but I'm clueless as to which little feather legged ones are who, because there's waaaaay more than I set in Maran eggs! At least I know El Guapo is doing his job! I might have to make some feather sexing attempts...

So, what if I CAN'T make one?

I can not create a members page from my phone, I have tried. Couple times. Apparently once I get access to a computer with Internet and create a page, I should be able to edit it from my phone. However, I don't have access to a computer with Internet.

That can be really hard. I have a friend with the same issue. When she can't do what she needs on her phone she uses the computer at the local library, they offer free access. Just an idea.

I so wish DH was home. Someone has a 5 stack brooder on CL.

I was just wondering, we have this wonderful person named Walli, that does this spreadsheet for us. That is more accurate than my swap page will ever be. If I need to update my swap page, I will have to quit offering swaps right now, in an effort to have the time to update my page. That's ok with me, I just won't share eggs from my new lovely babies. Just sayin', Walli spends alot of time doing that for our benefit. Her time is valuable, and I think we should utilize that spreadsheet. Just my 2 cents....

Yes, I have tried that, as well as going into mc Donald's and Taco Bell who have free wifi. The problem is I do not have anyone to watch the boys while I try to get stuff. So I end up chasing them all over the place and getting frustrated and nothing done!

I have been looking into "Internet To Go" from Walmart, its $10 for 1gb a month, so I could print shipping labels and do stuff like that I can't on my phone, but Walmart has been sold out. ALSO the coverage map end literally one street over from us, so I am not even sure it would work!

Okay so when I sell my cow, I'm using some of the money for a Dickey... just can't decide between the 2x2 turner/hatcher trays or the normal 3X1... advice?

So i have 36 eggs that were due to hatch on Saturday. I have not candled or pulled any so I am sure some are clears etc. BUT I had 2 SFH hatch on Sat from the same person. There are eggs from 5 different people. And I candled a couple eggs last night and they have very clear veining. I ran it a little cooler then I normal do, right at 99.5, because it is a forced air incubator. Any hope on these? I thought since I can see veining I probably still have a chance of having these hatch.

You plan to hatch in it? Incubator duck, geese or turkey eggs?

There is always a chance.
