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

[kajira]

1 am--candle, 2 am- candle, 3 am- candle. all the way to 12 M. When you run out of numbers, repeat from the top. Don't bother with the temp or RH. If anything hatches, the chicks will at least be tough

What if he actually listens to this?

Got distracted last night, and didn't post. I made chicken and sourdough dumpings for supper. I'm out of fresh chicken for a while.

Is it wrong to be anxious for the chicks to get big enough to eat?

[COLOR=FF0000]Remove as much water as possible with paper towel or something and start from what sally says to do in this post.  You want probably 30% - 35% humidity. [/COLOR]

o it was like 36% before I added water.i thought its suppost to be like 40-50% from research.but I want to do my best to batch these six.i can't remove water without taking everything our so I will just let it evaporate and at day seven fill two troughs and start at that

Why not listen to what Sally and other here have told you many times? @chicken hawk 33

Toulouse goat eggs?

 

[Sally Sunshine]

What is everyone got going this weekend?

 

[kajira]

So, for those of you who've raised turkey's before.. are they trainable? I was watching youtube videos of people teaching them tricks. Have you guys tried doing that?

 

[DwayneNLiz]

No silly, I can't even rehome the last 5 from my most recent batch.

I'm doing the upgrades cause there's never a better time than now. Also I might go insane if I don't do something with the bator.

Yer kidding, right??

Nobody??

Most of my friends are chicken addicts, lol
The only game I really like is Mario Kart. Peachy's got it!!

they'll find homes
nobody

Super excited!!! Puff my broody serama was awfully quiet today. I dont candle the eggs under her-just leave that to mother nature. 2 tiny babies under her with 2 more possibly to go!!!! And the best part is at least one of those is from Stan-my tri-colored that died. So Stan lives on!!!!!

My guess is waiting to play games for eggs?????? or playing pool, darts, or bar hopping

or bowling?

ROFL!!!

Sally, you're overdue for bubba pics!

And the growing pup.

Bubba is so cute, but i love this look the cat is giving Jasper

The cat finally caught that lizard he was stalking the other day. Ate half of it. We put him outside in preparation for the puke, and he killed a tiny snake. The dogs just dragged in a bone they dug up from the yard. It's been a gross day.

lol

That's great to know because I have 30 acres of them!!! My house sits on about 4 including the front yard, back yard, pond and surrounding woods and all the rest are woods. I just worry about bugs and stuff (like ticks) and going out to gather them. Maybe I will go garbage picking in the suburbs one day and pick up all those big orange pumpkin bags they fill leaves with!!! Less for me to rake up and way lighter than sand and pea gravel!!!

you do know that chickens eat ticks right?

ZOMG! I'm dying! First Araucana is out and is screaming (for me I'm assuming)... It had a pip when I got home, and I was talking/encouraging the first Wyandotte who pip'd and keeps banging its nostrils against the shell, and it went nuts n zipped out fast (20min, the Araucana) and is trying to climb the wall to get to me... I'm tearing up, it's killing me to say "no, you're wet"

...oh is my will being tested...

Congrats!

Here are the 3 rescue chicks that have hatched so far. I had to get them out and the one rotting egg. I have 9 still left to hatch that are due Saturday and Sunday.

The evil Dash and her 4 chicks.

very cute!

mind if I ask but where did u get that feeder the yellow one

Not at all. It came with my incubator. And a little waterer as well. I wish I could find another one.

got the same one on ebay (but green), it said discontinued by manufacturer but it was only like $3

Alright! So I'm at 3 Araucana right now, 1 Wyandotte I'm not sure is gonna make it (lookin like wry neck straight out of egg, I'll let the breeder know), and 1 Whiting True Blue(still in incubator). 1 Wyandotte passed after pip'ing

First two out and dry. The black one I posted earlier about demanding out. The white was no different...

Chick pile of cuteness!

They were trying to eat shavings. I put the bowl in and showed the black one, it was eating mouthfuls, then the two white came over...one proceeded to get in eat n sleep lol

congrats !!

i turned the eggs in my new incubator this morning. it was running a little low, so I upped the temp. I'm going to have the hardest time keeping the temp stable in there, it seems so much more sensitive then my little one

I may add an additional bottle of water that's heated up, to see if that helps. I got the rocks in there, the humidity's good, (between 30-40%) and i'm keeping a close eye on it. But I worry what happens if it runs at 99.0 instead of 100... anything? or will it be okay if it's 99 at night and 100.5 during the daytime?

temps sound fine to me

Okay. I'll be keeping a close eye on it then.

My turkey's are here, post office just called. On my way to go get them!!! be back in like 30 minutes... I have to wake up the baby. LOL

That's correct. Wife is enjoying our cooler temps.

Funny conversation from last night
Wife: I'm tired from cooking and think I'm going to sit for a bit.
Me: Confused look.
Wife: What, you need me to do something?
Me: No your fine, go ahead and relax...still confused look.
Wife: Why are you looking like that?
Me: We had leftovers, all you did was heat the food I cooked last night in the microwave.
Wife: Yeah but it was very tiring.

Love her to death. This pregnancy has been a lot harder on her than our previous two but she's been a trooper.

LOL!!!!

I'm invisible, mwahahahaha!!!

*** childproof my butt.
I paid 128 dollars for kid-safe glasses and my toddler made them last 10 minutes before tkaing them apart.

go on zenniotical.com super cheap

We candled our eggs every night before bed on the non-shipped eggs we tried to hatch. My daughter wanted to watch the day to day development.

The shipped eggs, I've only touched every few days, too worried about them dying on me if I jiggle them. My daughter understood, she'd rather have live chicks.

But she's 5. I think 5 year old girls have more common sense then teenage boys....

love this post lol
