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

[kwhites634]

My eggs have arrived safe and sound! She sent lots of extras. Do you think they are clean enough to not wash? I would prefer not to, but I want the best hatch possible.....

Hey, Dog. Personally, I'd let 'em be & set 'em the way they are; not bad at all. I've seen pic of sets that are a lot worse

 

[shahtir101]

Not a whole bunch. Been rather slow today, compared to yesterday. Just go back to where you left off; shouldn't take long at all

I left off about 3 days ago

@Sally Sunshine heres my 16 Dom eggs shipped the Sally Sunshine way. All the air cells look good and no damage to the eggs. I'm gonna let them rest in the 60-65* basement and set saturday morning. Going off the air cells they were just what I ordered fresh and under 2 days old when shipped. Saturday the oldest should be only 7 days old. I get a good hatch.

Great, thank you. I assume you put it together in stages based on the pictures? Put the arms closest to the turner on last? Not home currently but will work on it tonight. I figured someone in this thread will have done the same thing...

Dear people,
I was removing one of the egg trays, and this hicky jigger came off. Since I wasn't paying attention, I have no idea where it even was. Please tell me, because even searching the Internet, I haven't found a picture that tells me.

@MotorcycleChick

Thank you! I took the far screw off, moved the motor, put the trays in the arm, moved the arm into the turner thingy, put the turner thingy back on motor and then motor back into place and screws tightened. Have Bator running now with extra hygrometer testing it now.

. I have a second hygrometer but need a battery. Good thing I am testing

Sorry wrong pics at first.

@Sally Sunshine last poult is finally unzipping, 4 days late. 35 chicken eggs on lockdown now.

4 days! hope its ok jess! good luck with the newones, calendar says I need to lockdown purples lol so I will do that later, I threw all eggs stacked them in one bator during this power outage, now I have to sort through them all! ughhhhh

For the obsessive (sally), this bluetooth data logging probe is accurate to ±0.1% of the reading. That makes it accurate to 0.1F.

you think I am obsessive? lmao you dont know me well as far as my own hatches

The only thing ever written on my hatches of late is a sharpie color coded calendar, and I see I never wrote the other color on it!! doh

I need some help with my first hatch. It's close to the end of day 21, I have three pips, but two are at the wrong end and opposite side of where they should be, and one seems to be closer to the air cell, but on the wrong side. I candled at day 7,14, and 18. I drew the air cells on the eggshell, I set them down with the largest part of the air cell up, but so far they are pipping wrong. They are peeping and I can see their beaks. One had only chipped the shell and not the membrane, so I used small, sterilized scissors to cut a small opening in the membrane so the chick could breathe. I turned the eggs over onto their sides so that the pip wouldn't be on the bottom of the bator. I have been reading Sally's article about malpositions and what to do in those cases, and I'm waiting to see what happens, if they hatch on their own or not. I am a complete newb and I don't understand why so many are malpositioned? What did I do wrong? Here are some pics. Any advice is appreciated.

I am really starting to wonder if this is a janoel issue you guys! sounds like your doing everything right!
Good luck!!

@Sally Sunshine

I got another one of those huge double yolked eggs. Should I use that for the Easter hatch? And try again?

I have to agree to not bother killing more embryos, at least eat them to get some use of them.

Quote: I have an older Janoel 48 that has a solid gray base, so I can't see in it.

Also have the double decker Janoel knock off that I bought to use as a hatcher and NICU.

Doing another hatch experiment in the Janoel... First one was a disaster because I had a hard time maintaining the humidity and none of the eggs lost enough weight.

I would love to know what your doing kat

@Sally Sunshine got the call today from the post office that my Dom eggs had arrived. Will be sure to take pics and let you know how successful your shipping method was.

Hey all. Just checking in. Been busy with the new goats. The other doe should be due any day now. The wait is on.Getting 2 more New Zealand Whites, so need to build a frame to put the cages in. And of course hatching like crazy. LOL.

A man like Fire doesn't need words....

Thank you, your both amazing men! Thank you so much for what you have given of yourselves for us and our families.

phase 2 finished front section of the run,

awesome!!! hello silver!!

Is it OK on lock down to keep humidity at 60

if your air cells are small that is ok, but I run around 70 for good looking air cells! @shellikirbey

@Sally Sunshine minimal progress today. Just sealed up the light wires.
Have the pieces cut to close up all the loose stuff on the bottom left as well. Should all come out one hole when said and done.
