Old McDonald had a farm....EIEIO

And on his farm he grew some hemp...eieio

Old McDonald was a bad speller.

That cuz he was sampling his hemp

Sally, we're not sure. That chick had trouble getting out. Granny thought it looked sticky. The egg was in a weird position; I quick turned her on her side and she pushed right out. This one and the one before seemed weaker than others?

:/ did you lower temps during lockdown? [COLOR=008080]LOWERING TEMPS lockdown IS NOT NECESSARY but is said to AID THE HATCHING PROCESS[/COLOR] post #2898

I,will be selling a buntch of chicks.

good CH good for the family!

Here's an update for your list. 12 Ancona eggs (pulled two clear day 7) now have 10 16 Dominique eggs 16 Partridge Chantecler

gotcha!!! good luck!

I,got a new rooster yesterday.

Old McDonald had a farm....EIEIO

andddddd on that farm he had a LOOK at that chick!

That's monster. I think his daddy was a buzzard.

Hmm... Temp isn't going over 100.5, should I put on another scarf or leave it for the night? It has been 4 hours...

By scarf? I put scarves over the sides of the bator if it gets a tiny bit cold so I don't have to monkey with the thermostat control, and it dont block vents like a blanket would. 1 scarf raises it aproximatly .5 of a degree... But I don't wanna wake up to it at 103 if it is just slow to warm up... -BantiO

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yep, lowered. The tstat I have isn't that sensitive so I have to fudge a bit. I actually think it was too low, so I've bumped it back up a smidge. I'll let you know.

@Sally Sunshine Ducklings are here!! This was a pic my husband sent me at work. Had 1 hatch right when I was getting ready for work, a second hatch as I ran out the door. We are now up to 6: 4 girls 2 boys, with another on the way! One was DIS. It had zipped half way then stopped but was moving when I saw it, and of course I had to leave so I had my husband assist it, and it was dead, but came easily out of the shell. No idea what happened and it was a girl

One goose egg had pipped last night. Nothing from the other 2 yet

Hi phil how was supper?

Well, that is somewhat what i did, except the having to turn them 3 or more times a day...

I may need some help. If this hatch is a success I will become addicted to hatching. I can feel it now. I can see it now me struggling to sell chicken after chicken.

I think the general incubation range is between 99.5-101. I run it at 100 but Sally runs hers 100.5-101.
