 Do you have any pictures? Good luck on the ones going into lockdown

I'll try to get my good camera working tomorrow to get some decent pics. They're cute little buggers and they've gravitated towards my 5 week old silkies as their surrogate mothers lol. I so hope those silkies are hens. They're already very motherly

Hi Joey!

I think it would be a safe bet on the wording error.

Turns out it was... whew!!!

That is so cute! Even silkie chicks have maternal instincts

It's the Hubbard Breeders Hatching guide:

Page 29:

[COLOR=rgb(0.000000%, 50.200000%, 50.200000%)]In contrast, high temperature at the end of incubation (38.6°C - 101.5°F - trial temperature) appears to increase the chick’s thermo-tolerance, thus increasing their tolerance to heat stress later in life (Hulet R.

However, elsewhere it indicates other data to support lower hatch temps as better. One day I may have to test this out with a paired hatch.

100.4 Celsius is 212.7 degrees Fahrenheit, Seth...

That's what I'd call a serious temp spike!

ChickenHawk, do you have a computer with a keyboard that you could switch to so you can type better?

Don't worry about shipping!

I'll be there in 45!

See my avatar - that's my Paula as a chick, maternal instincts very early, soothing another chick (who was unwell, and didn't make it).
