Draw down happens as they absorb the moisture in the shell I think. Raising humidity wouldn't hurt if it's during lockdown. humidity should be around 60-70% anyway.
Started with 24 eggs 3 were clear 1 chick died during the zipping process 16 have hatched and 4 remain...I think they are dead. We are on day 23 now. Two of the eggs that hatched were from our blue/green egg layer mixed with our Buff Orpington rooster. It's so funny how different they look from each other. The one without stripes hatched yesterday it almost looks like the BO chicks but it's lighter in color and it has poofy cheeks. Is this because the hen has feathers on her cheeks? Also, if anyone could tell me what breed the hen is. What color eggs do you get when mixing a brown layer with a blue/green layer?
Hi KAT!! Question for you on niacin for these ancona ducklings, they are wasting about a third of their water to the pan under it, should I add more than 100 mg per gal?
I have a bunch of niacin data that I'm putting together. As for adding more to the gallon, you don't need to, 'cause they'll still drink the same amount. -Kathy
Well our friend who works at Zaventem Airport finally got home. They put him on the crew to clean up the bomb site. I don't know exactly what he saw, but he's been silent since he got home and considering he's a really fun-loving and easygoing guy it worries me.
In regards to chickens, I built half of the fence that will enclose the footpath to the run and the garden, so tomorrow I should have it done and the girls can go and forage.

I got my major parts for two bators, @sarasweatman coming to your home soon!!
just need to get the minor shtuffss!!!!1
BTW this cooler interior is 10"x21" and 12" depth and its a 52 quart
If I do more after this I would go a bit larger on the interior. I forgot this cooler is a good thick insulated cooler and that takes up
space and makes the inside smaller. keep that in mind should you order any!
Found a good example of what a critically ill bird looks like: Turkey, chicken, duck, goose, whatever... if it looks like this it's very close to death. -Kathy
