Never before 20 years ago

You have kept chickens for 20 years and never gotten one like that?

I'm surprised you don't get a few of those a year.

Ditto.

So farvits still alive and moving

whats a farvits?

Hello all. Here comes another newby! I thought I would try to catch up from the beginning, but you all are just too far ahead of me and I have a question and can use a bit of encouragement.
I set 18 Ancona duck eggs in my Incuview on June 8. This is the first time I have tried incubating. So far the temperature is holding steady at 99.5 but I am concerned that the humidity is running too high. I put only about a forth cup water in the outside tray and the added hydrometer is registering as high as 77% except if I open the lid for some reason. I don't know if there is any way to adjust the humidity. We are having rainy, wet, cool weather up here in northwest Washington State, so I wonder if that is part of the problem. Some on the duck forum talk about incubating at like 35% humidity, so I feel really concerned that I may be spoiling this hatch with these high humidities. Any help or thoughts will be so appreciated.
Also, I'm still 'old school' where things were spelled out. Can anyone give me a list of all the abbreviations used in the control module? The instruction that came with the Incuview do not give this info.

@JoyAnna Welcome!! I see you have been inundated with info! lol better too much than not enough!!! Any other questions just ask!

@Sally Sunshine I'm praying for you and your procedure today. I hope you are back and feeing better soon.

Im good, thank you!

@Sally Sunshine will be praying for you today, hope all goes well.

I'm on day 20 of my hatch. I have 2 Barbizeux, 5 Brahma, and 8 Easter Eggers in the incubator. Saw some movement from the Easter Eggers last night, but no pips yet. My question is has anyone else incubated Barbizeux eggs? Are they particularly difficult to hatch? I started with 8 and had to remove 6 for various reasons (stopped developing, blood rings, etc.). My other eggs in the same hatch have been much more successful and all the remaining eggs at Day 18 showed normal development. Any thoughts or experiences?

Welcome! @jhomestead what are Barbizeux? how has your hatch gone?

Malpositioned chick zipping towards fat end of egg. It's been about 17 hours since I first noticed it's pip. No chirping.. what should I do?

Welcome Jennifer! @jenniferlamar70 how did your hatch go?

Wonder if these go good with beer.

certainly look better than this!! @Beer can

Y'all the chick passed away 2 days ago

sorry to hear this @runt325 Try to find some cocci meds at Tractor supply like I suggested in the email message, also dont be afraid to ask for cocci meds at your local feed mill or ag store.

I know I was off here and treated it with dewormer

@runt325 what type of wormer had you used? Fenbedazol aka safeguard?
