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

[Chaos18]

That's what I did last time... Drove me nuts I couldn't see in there without it

I even have an led light that I took out of the unit that fits right in the recess between my lights. Could I power this with a 9V adapter?

Morning!!! Enjoying making my itinerary for DC trip here in March and drinking coffee on thus beautiful morning!!! How are you???

Your itinerary will be shot to H3LL when you hit the beltway traffic!

The time you set for EASTER HAL DOES NOT MATTER.



The eggs counted for the guess the number set/number hatched contests are the ones set +/- two days for the EHAL set day. so March 3rd- 7th for LF chickens... you set sooner than that or later your eggs simply wont be added in the final number count! Thats all setting on time means........... sooooo............


its BETTER TO SET your EGGS than LET THEM GET OLD!!

My Ayam Cemani eggs just got here! The auction was for 8+, she told me she was sending ten, and she sent 12! One broke, one has a loose air cell, one doesn't have an air cell I can see, not sure about it. 5 are saddle celled, but this is pretty great! They came from Idaho to California. She said the eggs were laid on the 25th.

LOOOOOOK!!!
I have one zipping!!!!

oh I cant wait for the update!

He/she is out! And it's in leap day!

and there is one!!

Quote: awwwww so glad you have them!! Shellee and you rock!! how long she on them? you marked the eggs?

I also have 12 Mille Fleur D Uccle eggs due to arrive here in California from Georgia, should be here on the 2nd. Those are my HAL eggs.

I am too excited to read the last 30 pages so the news is I have 3 pips!!!! I hear little peeping too!

Sally you have a beautiful flock and ken I like how you avatar has a pipe too!

thank you sarah!! I am sorta partial to his avy as well!

Nice article on Denagard's (tiamulin) effectiveness on various strains of Mycoplasma from a well known and (as far as I can tell) reliable source, sorry if there is already a link in the notes but I didn't see one:

You should check the power requirements of the light (if possible) and the output on the transformer. Add ALL of the low voltage amps together (fans, lights, etc) and subtract that number from the Output amperage of the transformer. If this number is negative it will not work! I know the fans will work at 9v (with diminished speed) but being the LED is in fact a diode, It may or may not work on that low of a voltage. That would be trial and error.

Goodmorning everyone, I have been too busy to be on the last few days. I hope everyone is well.
Lockdown on the first group (ccl, Swedish flower hens, and EE)!
My chicks are shipping today. Any special advice for chicks coming in the mail from a hatchery?

Good morning, daxi! Best of luck with your eggss in lockdown!

Naturally, have your brooder warmed up and ready. Put electolytes, or at least some sugar in the water to give the chicks a boost. Dip the chick's beaks in the water so they'll start drinking right away. Other than that, just food and they should be fine...

I would add a separate power adapter for the light and I have a 9V one just laying around. Each fan will be on it's own 12V power supply.

Okay. Gotta go!

Hurry back

Fast enough? I'm sitting next to the tub while she's laughing at her toys as she drowns them.

Agreed!

Agreed!

Why must you teach her these things?

The 12v supply I'm using has an output of 800ma (which is .8a). That's more than enough to run everything I have in there 12v. The fans can take anywhere from .12 to .25a depending on several factors. I'm not sure it's necessary to run more than one (unless they're really small) IMO. Better safe than sorry though

. And I would still try to check voltage and power requirements on the LED light.
