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

[lozerface79]

So i have a question. If on day 21 and the eggs start hatching but for some reason the glass fogs up or i cant see in it, is there a way i can check on them to make sure they dont need assistance without opening it?

Good for you - now quit opening the incubator so the chicks have a chance of making it the rest of the way

I ain't opening it.

I ain't opening it.

And why do you not always use the spellchecker?

What makes this time different?

if you have no viewing area at all your humidity is too high

Alright is there a way to lower that without causing too much damage? (Assuming the chicks arent damaged already by the high humidity)

PLEASE HELP ME UPDATE THIS!!

Jessimom Moved 6 of my silkie eggs into lockdown on 2/10. I have 12 shipped Blue/Splash silkies and 2 shipped Buff Brahma eggs set to hatch 2/20. At the 10 day candle - the silkies had 1 blood ring and 2 possible clears. One was doing back flips in the shell, and the rest had good veins. This batch goes in to lock down on the 18th, I'm leaving town on the 19th, not going to be home until the 23rd....I'll miss the entire hatch! But, I have 14 more Buff Brahmas and 7 shipped Biefielder/Cream Legbar cross eggs that are set to hatch on the 25th as well as 7 more silkie eggs set on 2/10.

Hi Sally, there's my update! Thanks for tracking this for us!!

Okay, trying to process the information here. So 0.23 ml per pound orally for 5 days, by orally is that just squirted into her mouth or dissolved in water? And how do I calculated 0.23 ml? It doesn't say anything on the package as far as measurements, it's just 25 grams total, I though I had a syringe that might tell me but I can't find it. 

I'm gonna guess that your hen weighs ~5 pounds. Dose for treating all chicken worms is 50mg/kg orally for five consecutive days. Math is weight of bird in pound, divide by 2.2, times 50, divide by 100 = number of ml to give.

5 / 2.2 x 50 / 100 = 1.136, so round up to 1.15 ml.

A 25 gram tube = 25 ml.

Chickens and dogs get 50mg/kg for several days, horses, goats and cows get just 5mg/kg.
