Banti, I could be wrong. But, too me these air cells look like they might be small. The brahma looks like it might have a drawn down. The rest I don't see that. What day is this 22 or 23?

Mike, mine are going on lockdown tonight. My air cells are about the same, and I was thinking they were too small. I couldn't decide. I did remove excess water three days ago, and all moisture yesterday when humidity wasn't going down enough. It is still at 54%...
Anything I can do to save the chicks? All but one are alive still.

Thanks MC

Hope you had a great day.

I would "lockdown" late. Keep humidity low until draw down/internal. or even external pip. If the humidity is naturally that high anyway. Just have a way to raise humidity without opening incubator would be the ideal.

I'm sure it was from the cow's point of view!

Yeah, she has been there for several months. I am selling her to fix my plumming so she needed to come home.

It was actually pretty decent. I think.
How was yours?

Thank you. That was what I was thinking too. It is always good to have another opinion.

Great! I meant to ask if the bull visit was intentional. 

Definitely, she was 12 miles from here.

23, maybe? I did run at 25 % for a bunch of the time. Maybe try 25% the whole way through next time?

Did many things on the list. Very busy. Then helped friend with some tractor work. Really tired but good tired. Glad you had a good one. One more thing to do and I'm done.
