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

[BullChick]

My incubator is about twenty feet away. I may have kinda sorta set the baby video monitor on it. Maybe kinda sorta.

Helped one of the malpos out, resting and drying off. All but one are out now - that one still has blood vessels, and I got some bleeding (not the best way to discover that

) - hope not too much. Put her back in. Something about her makes me wonder if she's going to make it. She's gotten tired. But I can't go any further with those blood vessels still there. Hopefully we can get it done in a couple hours.

I didn't note the position of the first two chicks I helped, but they had pipped at least near the air cell. These two malpositioned chicks (the one I just helped and the one I'm waiting on) were in the butt-and-hocks-agaist-air-cell position. I'll do an eggtopsy on the dead one after the hatch is over to see what position she's in.

I guess I have learned a lot about assisting, so I'll be all ready for the shipped egg hatch next week... That hatch will be in the Brinsea. You can't see as well, but hopefully it will go better (incubator function-wise).

Least you have chicks fire ant, it's aggrivating when things go wrong but only way to learn what works for you

I am at home most of the time so I can just check in anytime but it kills me when I am gone

You two do realize how crazy that sounds, don't you? It's okay... there are a lot worse addictions!

When I had to pick a monitor,I knew I would be getting a video one.I figured it would work in the coop if I needed to keep an eye on something.
Well, it works for incubating too!
