INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Chaos18]

Well I'm outta here for a bit. Behave yourselves and if you can't at least make the crime fit the punishment.

I'm going to the engineers house to hook it up to the lid

Vitamins & Electrolytes "PLUS"

AgriLabs

A mixture of vitamins and electrolytes for use in cattle swine, sheep, horses, ruminants, poultry, and turkeys during periods of stress or reduced feed intake.
Contains vitamin A (2,500,000 IU), vitamin D3 (1,000,000 IU), vitamin E (2,000 IU), a complex of B vitamins, vitamin K, and electrolytes. "Plus" beneficial probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus facium.
Mix packet (4 oz.) in 128 gal water or 500 lb complete feed.

As I make my own feeds I add a pack of that to every 400lbs I mix.

I dont ad vit C but I do give human selenium caps 4mg total per 400 lbs

VENTILATION (OXYGEN)
Ventilation is VERY important during the incubation process.
While the embryo is developing, oxygen enters the egg through the shell and carbon dioxide escapes. Oxygen requirements will increases during development and during hatching. Unobstructed ventilation holes, both above and below the eggs, are essential for proper air exchange. HOWEVER New Studies (Show Dr.Bramwell Discussion) have found that a slight decrease in oxygen the first 10 days (ONLY the first 10) creates a natural higher CO2 level which will naturally build in the incubator and add a little stress to young embryos which will force the embryo to survive and grow stronger, hatch earlier, hatch larger, grow stronger, grow faster and yeild more muscle mass at 6 weeks of age. PUT THE VENT PLUGS IN FOR THE FIRST 10 DAYS ONLY and then REMOVE ALL VENT PLUGS for the rest of the hatch! NOTE: When Lockdown occurs, vent openings are frequently restricted in an attempt to boost incubator humidity. Instead of helping the chick hatch, the chick is suffocated from lack of oxygen. Never decrease ventilation openings at hatching in an attempt to increase humidity. Increase humidity by other methods. If any vent adjustments are made, they should be opened more. Try adding a dampened sponge or towel to help boost humidity during lockdown.
​

They grow faster when the air is more oxygen rich, and slower when they are oxygen deprived.

does it have a breakdown of days other abstracts suggested better incubation with lack of it during the first 10

If O2 deprivation during the first 10 days of incubation followed by regular oxygen concentrations after day 10 leads to stronger chicks and higher rates of O2 over the entire incubation period leads to bigger chicks, I bet if you combined the two you would end up with the Chuck Norris of chicks.

Deprive O2 for the first 10 days so that more blood vessels develop, then find a way to increase the ambient O2 levels for the rest of the incubation period.

@Sally Sunshine

AWESOMENESS!!! thank you sweets!!

I was looking for that forever!!!!

what is the *%#}{* Problem with this fan?!!!

I don't think anything is wrong with the fan.....

hey KAT or anyone else


see what this means for me please!! I just ran into it again from the diary thread

Not that I can tell. I'm looking to see if I can find a day by day break down of the experiment. I would imagine that they kept the O2 levels the same since nothing was mentioned otherwise.

OUR FRIDAY !!!
