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

@Sally Sunshine @LocalYokel
Good morning! The chick is the same. I am getting with my vet on the older ones.
I was hoping to just put one of those heated pet pads in and steal the 100w bulb for my chicks from 1/21. Half are feathered and two are just missing a few neck/head feathers. Oh well two heat lamps in the house a few more days(cringe).
Sorry you had to put one down Sally

its ok, it goes with the territory. I am used to having to do it, just not such a worthy chick is all

@Sally Sunshine so how many of the noisy little boogers did you end up with out of the last batch that you locked down?

All but one? IDK I only counted the pullet legbar the money makers, she wants everything I hatched, but I am pullin the blue silkie and the gold laced cochin banty for kiddo to keep with her polish chicks and maybe the lil friz serama chick. I never count or keep track

just what brings any cash

I've run rough service bulbs for years. Shouldn't be an issue.

Teflon coated ones I think

So, really, something like a 100gram jewelry scale is the only "true" way to judge. What I'm afraid of with AC is the 7 day lag between. For now, it seems aiming for 30% should keep things safe.

@Sally Sunshine Kat? It gets around pretty well even lame with a lot of determination. The joint is not right though. It seems bigger, but I don't know if that is from walking on it the day of hatch. The lady I hatch with said she missed that one.

Picture of the bigger joint?
