Dear "me too" this was meant for you. So was the other one. My coffee requires its own IV drip today.

Quote: We will have chicken drumsticks in the oven with a sauce made of mustard, honey, Silan=( date syrup), some soya sauce, and chilly.
We will also have some beef brisket slow cocked in spices and red wine, to this we will have some nice salads, fresh fruits, desert and coffee!
I will be there in a few hours.

Sounds delicious as usual for your meal. My wife makes a dish similar to the chicken you are making but it is usually done with pheasant and no Silan.

We cant find no pheasant here! I never tasted it! Is it like quail? I'm imagining the meal I can do from them!

I will check back in a bit, I am going to see if there is an orthopedic thread sort of like this one where I can ask on my chick, not that I can do more till to tonight. I just hope she survives being hobbled. I put her in the hamper with the four day olds so she would have a flatter surface, fewer to peck at her, and not far to drag herself if she doesn't get it to food and water.

I am updating a post!! @daxigait

Good morning all of you fabulous people how's you day goin

great its lovely outside!!

Quote: That may work - perhaps I can even create that in my head - every week or so, just think "OMG, Sally might come over this weekend!!!!" and then I'll go into a frenzy (gotta impress Ms. Sally!!!)

OK, so I was having a hard time reading the calibrated thermometer display in the incubator this morning as I walked by on the way to the kitchen to make coffee (it had shifted), so I opened the incubator very quickly to shift it. Then when I swung by about 10 minutes later, the temp was only 99.6°F - as I watched, the next reading was 99.2, then next 99.0, then 98.8... (I got it switched to F). I watched, and it kept slowly going down! I though, OMG, what's wrong with this incubator???!!!

So I took the calibrated thermometer out and did the data logging download (logs the temp and humidity each minute) - solidly running between 100.5°F and 101.2°F all night (which is where I wanted it), until this morning. As I was putting it back in, I realized - I must not have put the lid back on correctly the first time (in my caffeine-deprived state), and it was losing heat.

USER ERROR!!!!!

It's holding a very nice 100.6°F now, thankyewveerymuch. (Humidity is higher than I'd like at 45%, but ambient humidity is 72%, so that can't be helped - it'll come back down soon now that the lid is back on properly

, and it's supposed to dry out this weekend.)

So... everyone out there, ensure good lid placement practices. In fact, I would strongly recommend NOT touching the incubator until you've had AT LEAST two cups of coffee.

REMEMBER, COFFEE SAVES CHICKS' LIVES!!!!!

I am a user error LOL I will be right over dear!!! and get cooking too!! me wants good bread!!! cause I SUCK!!!

Ok so I think my bator is ready to go holding steady at 99.5-100-8 overnight humidity at 40%, that is with the Accurite room hygrometer and thermometer combo in the bator along with the two small ones that weren't working yesterday. As much as I want to load the bator with eggs, I will be away from home all day today, don't want to take any chances so will do when I am home tonight or tomorrow and can monitor. Will pick up a couple more hygrometers today while out and some sponges to help adding humidity down the road.

Weighed all the eggs and will be trying that approach this year.

Waiting is hard........

It is this one that I occasionally shoot. Not sure if it is like quail as I've never had quail. I would think it is fairly similar as they are both game birds.

Hope everything works out for you. Don't worry, you've got three more weeks to wait and worry

Makes shooting it a second time lots easier.

@Sally Sunshine I might set eggs to hatch for my birthday. If I do, ... Well, I can't say.

I can't make Whites incubate. I don't posses that much power.
