Gotta go check the chicks, and put up some netting to keep the adults out.

It's running at about 45% right now on Day 2. I ran at 25% with my last two hatches and had 1/12 hatch. 6 of them were DIS at day 23. The eggtopsy on the last 4 showed fully developed chicks that didn't pip. In troubleshooting I know the temps were good for development. The one chick that survived was a little wet/sticky. In the experience of other Brabanter hatchers this has worked. They also keep the temps lower at lockdown and humidity at 60% or so -which I did not do. It's not the Sally way or really a lot of people's way, but after spending several hours of energy trying to hatch these guys and doing tons of research, including on the climate of the breed's originating country, I'm trying this. It's day 2, I candle on 5, 10, 18. I have plenty of opportunities to adjust. The eggs lost between 16-17% at my day 18 last hatch. The air cells were saddled and some were on the verge of too big. I'm not going to keep trying the same thing that wasn't working. If anyone else here has successfully hatched a clutch of Cream Brabanters please feel free to chime in.

Sorry if that is rude. I'm pre coffee on a Monday with 2 temper tantrums and unfinished homework already.

Sally would be the first to tell you that the way she does things may not work for everybody. They are just her experiences that she can rely on. If you are able to find something that works for your location with the type of chicks you want to hatch than by all means go with what works.

Ain't it kinda early for temper tantrums? Specially 2 of them.

I would rather die in dirty underwear than from a cold.
