Use this as a training hatch. You learn something new every time something goes wrong. We all have to start somewhere and you are doing a fine job.

Thanks lovelies... I wish I had someone on here that lived closer to me... I feel like I've done everything wrong. Like I've said before I'm raising 4 kids but chicks are diff.

You are fine.

Not growing up with livestock makes poultry keeping a much bigger learning curve. Mammal babies is much different than hatching eggs.
All you can do is adhere to good incubation guidelines. 99.5F at the middle of the egg, enough humidity so the eggs lose 0.65% weight per day, turn as often as possible, raise the humidity at the end and then don't open the incubator till they're all hatched.

As Linda said, just learn with each new endeavor.

How are you this morning?

I didn't sleep well cause I was worried about getting enough sleep. Lol I'm taking the boys to their first professional sporting event tonight. I'm excited but kind of dreading it too.

I had a mentor from BYC that talked to me everyday and asked me what I saw and told me to remember. She was very encouraging and said that every mistake was a chance to learn. She is pretty awesome.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the boys behave themselves. Where you taking them?

We are going to the mariners game. Not worried about their behavior... I'm dreading the drive and it doesn't start til seven and Seattle isn't my favorite place to drive.
