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

Is it too late to increase or I can try and get it up a tad and expect the hatch date to extend? It stays at 99 for most of the time but does drop to a low of 98.2 before the heater kicks on again

definitely not too late! I would try to get it up a bit higher. The hatch date may be delayed by the lower temps, but if you can get it to settle between 99 and 101 you will be fine.

Absolutely!!!!!
And she's not doing him any favors by continuing to jump.

it's easier said than done I have gone months without being able see my niece beacause I stand my ground with him. In the end it only hurts her. I am the only "mother" figure she has ever had.

Cause they is more biggerer. Glad to hear you're feeling a little better at least. I'll share my little secret remedy for getting better quickly (it helped me over the weekend). It's a little trick I learned from an old mexican guy. Drowned your sickness in tequila. Works like a charm.

Normally, I'd have a sure-fire remedy for her, but it involves a double shot of Jack; wouldn't do her a bit of good

Hello to all. I have a hen that has been sitting. Yesterday 1 chick popped out from under her. She has not gotten off nest yet to get it to drink. I think this may be her first time to hatch. If it is same hen that hatched a few months ago, then its her 2nd time (and that did not go well). How long do I let her stay on nest with at least one chick if she doesnt take it down for a drink? Any advise greatly appreciated.

So this is my first incubation experience. I am on Day 7. Looks like my egg turner got of its rail sometime in last 18 hours....not sure exactly when it happened but I always check the egg positions and noted twice in a row looked like they had not moved (bedtime last pm and first thing this am). Thought maybe randomly at same place in cycle. Novice! Just found the problem. So, I understand this is a critical time period. Am I up a creek without a paddle? How can I know if the batch has been affected? Praying I have not lost this whole group.

Thank you!

After 3-4 drinks of JD, crawl into bed under an electric blanket turned up to about 6, & sweat it out.
Be sure not to kick the covers, or you may wind up with pnuemonia. No worries, though; pnuemonia's curable.
The above usually works, but if it doesn't you won't care, anyway
