Bubbles, I'm holding off on hatching. Not because of nature but because it just makes more sense for me. I can't afford to buy shipped eggs. I rushed for the Halloween hatch and ended up with only 2 chicks out of 24 set. I can only afford to wait for my cockerels and hens and pullets to get it going and hatch in February.

Brat, can you lower the temp? I agree with others about getting humidity up by getting warm water in there- maybe closer to the edges- away from the eggs.

Bubbles, I also am not a winter hatcher. Way too much work! I'll not brood in the house, and even with a heat lamp and a MHP, I don't relish going out in the nasty weather to do the many checks/day that chicks require. And we're subject to nasty storms, and frequent power outages that last for several days up to a week or more at a time. No winter chicks here. It's just too much work, and 100 times easier in the spring when power outages are less frequent, chicks can get on the ground earlier to boost their immunity, and I don't mind frequent trips outside to check on the babies!

Thankyou, I will wait for spring. Not that far off, and I will have more fun then!

Good morning, everyone... I hope all of you had a good night's sleep and are doing well this morning. I see a couple of you had your early morning mishaps, and in my experience, I think it's best to get that kind of thing over early in the day. It tends to make the rest of the day go smoother.

Golly geez wow.. there were lots of posts to catch up on since I said (in my ostentatious and pretentious attempt to sound debonair and chivalrous) goodnight. I've made it to here, but that'll be it for awhile... lots of other things I need to be doing. Until then....

mornin lol and have a goodun!!

I blew the egg.. NEXT SPRING I will hatch alot of these eggs from whichever hen laid this egg!!
I PROMISE!! Ps... I don't think it was fertile.

Hopefully I can get pictures going this evening.
