INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Ur-ur-ur-urrr]

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

I think the bator probably would have started melting if the temp had actually gotten that high. CH posted the conversion but put Celsius in front of it...

That is so cute! Even silkie chicks have maternal instincts  

HEY @shahtir101

6 poults have made their way into the world today with 6 more pipped and working on it

hopefully they're all done and out by tomorrow morning. I have more eggs to lockdown lol

HEY @shahtir101

HI CH hows a going

The crower has me convinced that I should buy ... whatever it is that he has for an incubator and candler. I saw a better price on an auto incubator on Amazon, but it says that it doesn't guarantee that the eggs will be turned the correct direction. Thus it could turn right left, right. Or, it could turn left, left, left, right, left...

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).

She is cute! sorry about the other chick

OkAy

OkAy

Any pics of Kiko?

No worries, I have the links, will pull them myself, I was just noting that it was interesting (as I read it at the same time as I was reading that IN GENERAL it's better to REDUCE temp at hatch...). Unless you have more references than what was linked in your Hatching 101 and associated links...

It's the Hubbard Breeders Hatching guide:

Page 29:

[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0.000000%, 50.200000%, 50.200000%)]et al[/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(0.000000%, 50.200000%, 50.200000%)], 2007). [/COLOR]

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.

There are many other factors to this though, so I think a happy medium is best..... remember when reading abstracts and acknowledgements, most times a study is only considering specific areas and not the all around figure.... So you need to research it from every aspect to gain the knowledge you seek to try. I would love if you could come up with more information, I am pretty much at my whits end with research and need a brain chill.

google scholar is the place to research

In conclusion long-term high incubation
temperature (38.8
o
C) from the 10th day to the end
of incubation resulted in reduced body weight and
decreased yolk consumption of embryos. High incuba
-
tion temperature affected two strains in a quite similar
manner except for minor differences. Results of the
present study have revealed that the efforts to increase
the body weight of broilers should not be limited to
management and care at post hatch period, incubation
factors affecting the performance should be determined
and taken the necessary precautions
