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

[casportpony]

Good morning everyone!!!!

Look what I found in my incubator this morning - the world's newest little Aloha Naked Neck:



Another one (the one with the original pip) is zipping.

Oh goodness, I have so many people to thank (gets out folded piece of paper and hopes she doesn't get cut off by the orchestra)...

In all seriousness:

First and foremost, @Sally Sunshine for her excellent shipped egg information, such that I'm getting live birds hatching from this mess:





@LocalYokel for patiently helping me figure out the direction I should turn the saddled air cells (with pictures!!!)

@Ur-ur-ur-urrr for helping me stop the too-fast growth of their air cells (along with Sally, of course), and also confirming that the increased humidity was doing its job and to leave it at 50% until hatch

@gotro17 for not only giving me so much hope for my shipped eggs with crazy air cells, but also pointing out that when hatching upright, it's good to alternate spaces in the carton to give the babies a place to "flop" out into (which I totally would not have thought of). This baby is happily moving from empty cup to empty cup. I set them up like this based on your photo/info:




Everyone who has posted info about successful hatches that just run a little late. (For that matter, everyone who has posted anything - I've learned from it all!)

And FINALLY, we circle back to Sally, where I specifically thank her for the first part of her "assisted hatch" article where she puts in big, red, bold letters:

DO NOT RUSH THE HATCH!

(I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, but thank you all!!!!)

I'm off to go look at the cutie again and see how the zipping is going.

Hi all!

I just ordered a wafer thermostat, a computer fan, the adaptor, and a thermo/hydro to start building the stuff for my coolerbator! I hope to have it finished by the EHAL. But, if I don't it isn't a big deal.

Gonna get the rest of the stuff tomorrow!

x 100 literally Every chick due to hatch today and tomorrow (45)have to be removed from the Bator. The current risk to the others can be mitigated by dipping all the other eggs or fumigating the Bator before they start breathing since hatch is stressful they will ahead ms immediately.
The experts fron NC vet school and research facility specializung in poultry have said the locals are wrong. The odds are not small that they have mycoplasma synoviae spread vertically, but will have it worse and spread it Horizontally.
Why did no one else I talked to sooner. Now these fully developed chicks have to be killed, and we have to fumigate the Bator or clean with bleach. She is checking with the main research guy on mycoplasma and will get back to us on the best hope for our other eggs. We will also have to keep them separate until they can be tested.
I need a good guy or someone to help me cull
