@Sally Sunshine

I am setting 15 eggs tonight for the Easter Hatch-a-long. I have 12 easter-eggers (some should be olive eggers) and 3 Barnvelder eggs - all from my flock. Will be a little late - but almost decided against setting... I'll be moving soon

Quote: I got a call from this guy who kept buying chicks and after a couple of days they were all dying. This happened several times with chicks from different people. Turned out his wife was making extra strength electrolyte solution for them (she thought more was better) and they were dying of salt overload. When we figured it out on the phone he gave them plain water and they drunk like crazy there and then and no more died after that.
Good point!

Emu update:
I decided to go ahead and weigh the emu eggs daily. Its a good thing too, because 3 of them were loosing weight too fast at 35% humidity. Between yesterday and today, this is what they lost-
CE- 630g, -2g (should be about 1.69g).
CH- 683g, -2g (should be about 1.83, not too bad).
CI- 661, -5g (should be about 1.78, not sure what happened there, see below).
CQ- 597, -1g (should be about 1.60).

I upped the humidity to 40% and I'll weight them again tomorrow to see where that puts me. Egg CI seems to have bigger pores then the others, so I might have to figure out a way to close some of them up to stop the rapid moisture loss. We'll see!

So my egg that pipped at the wrong end didn't make it. But I have 3 that have hatched out of 26. It's my first time, so I am happy that even that many made it.
I am going to get some more eggs. When is the next hatch along?
