HATCHING/INCUBATION
PRUrbanFarmer broody momma chicks were due 13th did you add more eggs, and will this be staggered for her? @PRUrbanFarmer
Fire BCM couple dozen in there from our laying pen that will be mixed, hatching thurs-fri 1/15. other sets? Making bators too. Just cleared the hatcher of 22-23 dry babies. Lots of wet ones (about same amount) left in there and 7 or 8 more pipped. Looks like it's shaping up to be another 90%+ hatch again. A couple dozen BCM's and about 3 dozen out of our free range layer pen.

Cynthia12 @Cynthia12 update any eggs in bator?
Canadachickens @canadachickens update please!
Venymae Rooster was shooting blanks.
5/7 clear and the other 2 are very questionable looking. Plus the two that are questionable are the ones that won't turn. I think I'm going to try and return this Brinsea. It's just not worth the $$. It holds temp great, and looks awesome,but it's got to be perfect for how much it costs and it's not doing it for me. @venymaeJessimom 9 I put into lock down....it's day 22. 3 have hatched in the last 5 hours, 1 more is pipped. I have 12 Salmon Faverolle eggs and 11 Cochin eggs that were shipped 3000 miles... I received some shipped eggs. About half have saddled air cells. Half have nice air cells.9 silkies in lock down, 6 have hatched, 3 still holding. I have 18 silkies set to hatch on the 22nd. I added the 23 shipped eggs to the 'bator and turned off the auto turner. I will manually tilt the silkies for the next day or so, then turn the auto turner back on

JennyBchickadee found 1 egg that i figured mudt have been la8d on top of the broody about a week or so after she started sitting? Well, its hatching right now!! I have an incubator from the 50s that is not very even tempered so i figured it wouldnt hatch but its halfway zipped....looks like I may end up with ONE pet chick....oh man, here we go again. The last one ended up incredibly spoiled! PICTURES? @JennyBchickadee SHE HATCHED waiting for images!

RECAP 1/14/16 post #33348 Thanks Bubbles!!
If you need proof/ want to have a foggy clue whut this means on any of these things, ask me and I can find the post for you.
The most expensive coffee in the world is made out of kitty poop, good things only come to those who wait if they work like crazy while they are waiting, no big lottery winners here, CH caught a 60 lb blue cat all by himself behind his house and kwhites says to sell it to a resturant, country lovin's feed store has CHICKS, (she only got two...) fire370 has a pip, k is locking his doors against a turken invasion, sally has unleashed a whole pile of happy painter pics, JT's average day includes chicks in the bathtub, 2 year old running around shedding clothing, boys slinging insults at one another, and a 4 year old princess barking orders at everyone, CH lives right next door to the "Duck Dynasty" crew, Sally is googling everything for us, kwhites likes Old Bay on cats (preferably 60 pound blue ones!) but he would not recommend it on vanilla ice cream, (probably only tasted good with chocolate...) Chaos is not commenting on salad, and will only smile and nod whenever dearest sally the sleeping elephant awakes and speaks, chaos needs mommom sally's boot camp, fried baloney is only good if you are starving, there is a bowl full of helpful monkeys somwhere in here, kwhites has been laughing for 3 days straight now, and Ur can relate to a scared goldfish!
