Over the weekend...
Had 27 of 39 hatch. Lost 12 chicks due to humidity issues.
When I went to trash the twelve bad eggs (two days later), I received a surprise. When I started to walk away I heard a cheep. So I quickly dung through the trash to fish out the mystery egg that was cheeping.
lol
Long story short, since I had already sold the others I was stuck with one chick. After talking to local friend who already had a single chick, we agreed she'd take it.
Heres the funny part....
When I told my wife (the one who could care less about chickens), she looked at me so evil and said "sure get rid of the only one that I helped with (she help it out of the shell, even longer story).
So we named it George. I figure any chick that gives me this much grief is likely to be a roo anyways. If not it's name may be modified to Georgia. lol
Either way, may wife has caught chicken fever and she doesn't even know it.
I keep covering surface water and still does the same...before when I did that BEFORE the eggs were set it worked fine. Now that I have the eggs in there and it matters...now it has to go higher! lol
