Haha, I have been reading Sally's hatching 101, assist, bator building, etc articles until I'm almost reading them in my sleep!
Thanks, i'm planning to do my first batch in march/april. Luckily, as well as online support I have a neighbor who is pretty experienced with hatching so betwixt the two maybe I will actually hatch some...

Yes, they have to be modified so they produce the drugs. They have lots of genetically altered organisms that are super cool in medicine (viruses, bacteria, chickens, etc). Science is so cool! However, I don't want them putting them in my food willy-nilly especially so they have an excuse to use more chemical pest control. No. Thanks.

Oh man you are doing way more research than we did!

I think we read the hatching 101, looked at a couple coolerbator pictures and hit the ground running! Found a cooler, chopped a window in the top drilled some holes in the side, took apart an old lamp, cut off phone charger, snagged some wires and other random stuff we found, got an arduino and ordered a thermometer/hydrometer sensor from china (for $1 or something-took three weeks to get here! haha). The spouse programmed the thing and did some other magic with a couple other doohickys. I taped a piece of plastic from some salad clamshells as the windows, stuck in some recycled spaghetti jars filled with water for heat sinks and
BAM!
Uglybator was born.

Then we just had to find the right size cup to get the humidity right. Hatched 9/12 our first try. Seriously. You can do it. Just get to it!​

love that UGLYBATOR!!!

Hope your little one feels better soon @Sally Sunshine

thanks woke up 99.8 no school today think its in her chest bad antibiotics at this point

I said, I want this one!

NOPE HE IS ALLLLL MINES!!!

Hello

GET A BUCK???

CH, you and me are the only ones up right now!!

I candled my Swedish Flower Hen eggs, going into lock down on Sunday. Forgot to candle yesterday. And i took pics! So, these eggs only came from Portland, OR, an 6-8 hr car ride depending on the weather/drivers. Received 12, 2 were clear at day 10, 1 blood ring. 9 going strong!

cool candles! awesome on shipped!

Oh yeah I live in the equivalent of the silicon valley of Biomed. The First experiments with bio-engineering bacteria to make it produce human insulin were done here in San Diego.

and No I wouldnt want it in the food chain.. But Monsanto let that genie out of the bottle.

Not going political here just stating the facts. I worked for a company that made gene splicing tools as a designer back in the eighties.

facts are facts yepp yepp perch

I they were sitting at 99-100 the whole time but for a couple of drops when it was pretty cold in the house. The lowest I saw was 96 but the heater would kick on & it would level out back up to 100. They were moving in there up to Sunday night. The air cells had gotten nice & level & we're actually round mostly & not saddled. Maybe it's just too cold for such a tiny bagel bator to keep up.
I have left them cooking still. I decided I hate myself if they got up to lock down & died but I'd be livid at myself if I quit on them & they were viable but late hatchers...I think I just am frustrated.

scovy do you have a thermo that shows the highs and lows in that bator? I am sorry sweetie I think you need to run a higher temp like I said before

An egg just woke me up peeping! No external pip yet, but that is one vocal wiggly egg! It's like it knew my alarm was about to go off!

sounds like you may have a pip by now!!

That is a good way to wake up FAR, and a good Friday morning to all!

God morning everyone! TGIF!!! Just caught up on the 120 or so posts I was behind on, now it's off to work for one more day! Hope everyone ha a great day! Will be sitting my eggs for the HAL after work, but they are silkies and the six hour delay shouldn't bother them as they always seem to hatch early for me. Except the two stinkers still in the hatcher from the last go round.

mornin cc

get those chicks out of those eggs will ya!! I am callin them late and later

Good morning Miss Sally and CC, I hope that all goes well with your eggs.
