Good night, whites. Sleep well, my friend!!!I hate to go home when the party's not over, but I've got a full day of clearing snow ahead of me tomorrow, so I'd best go cuddle up with my pillow.
Y'all enjoy the rest of the night; I catch up to you sometime tomorrow.

G'nite, Kid.
Will do - I will double check temp and humidity tomorrow. Eggs collected between 1/13/16 (only one of those, day of dog attack), thorough 1/20/16 (three!), and set on 1/20 at 2PM, so mostly quite fresh. If the humidity needs to come down, ambient humidity is running about 35-40% right now, so that would actually be more feasible/easier than trying to get it down in the presence of high ambient humidity. I have no idea what sort of fertility to expect, so I may get nothing. I'm just hoping...
I also didn't realize/remember until after the fact that the girls were on Rooster Booster for a short period before collecting (again, this was unplanned, and I forgot). Argh!So, having already committed, I researched as much as I could. (Read your wormer info, but hygromycin wasn't included specifically re: birth defects.) Not a lot of info out there in the MSDSs for hygromycin specifically, but as Hygromycin B is derived from a naturally occurring aminoglycoside (derived from a soil bacteria, a streptomycete), while there is evidence of possible risk to the fetus based on info in human pregnant women, it is primarily ototoxicity (hearing damage to the fetus), which is dose dependent (mostly related to high doses) and is the same risk any patient runs when taking a drug of this class. (I know some of this from my own medical training). So I decided to proceed with the hatch, and will watch/check the chicks for hearing damage, in addition to any other unexpected defects. It is my hope that the exposure was so slight that it will not be an issue, but I can be a worrier. I will report back so that you can add that as a data point in your wormer info, if you like.
Glad I won't have to dodge any shoes (yet!) I'm sure the shipped eggs will be more of task to fret over, of course.
Thanks for the input!!!
