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

Morning Everyone!
Babies are looking great!

Hey Mr. Leeroy

 

[tao chick]

Good morning.
Good news: I candled last night and I have 4 CCL mixes and 3 BCM mixes from my flock developing. The roos are a non-standard Wheaten Ameraucana (cream in hackles) and an imperfect Cream Brabanter (gold in hackles). I'm excited to see what comes out of them. EE/OE possibly

The best news from this is that my incubator is working well. I haven't finessed the motor yet so I'm tipping the trays manually 5+ times a day. The most impressive part of this incubator is its ability to hold humidity. I have 5 holes in it- I guess I might need a couple more. I'm not using it as a hatcher this round though.

I've been trying to catch up a bit. The only thing I remember wanting to say is a "relax and enjoy each moment, chickenhawk, because there is something positive in every moment. Life will challenge you and being crazy sometimes is just one small part of being human. "

Good morning everyone!!! Coffee is brewing!! What a week and and what a day/night!!

One kiddo's Easter party is today...the other's is tomorrow and I'm making peeps cupcakes (best with jelly beans and peeps on top)

LOCKED DOWN last night around 11!!! I'm a first timer at this part but man - just fascinating!! All of it! I had to place a sponge to get my humidity up and I threaded some aquarium tubing into the dish the sponge is in so I can add water as needed without cracking the lid.

I didn't sleep well!! lol I kept having nightmares about humidity dipping too low!!!

I'm hoping between the kids Easter parties, taking care of routine farm stuff, getting ready for our Easter and my birthday coming up Sat, that I'll be able to get through this part without totally chewing my fingers off...

I'd take the top off it if it hasn't made any further progress.

Ive taken the top off just to the point where its only barely hanging on. I just am waiting for it to get out now.
Also you have been extremely helpful, thanks!

I never clean the pot. When it starts to build up inside I just pour water in; no coffee. Works every time

Hope it can wiggle out. Was the membrane stuck to it at all? You're welcome for the help. That's what we're here for.

Don't touch me!

It's not that bad, I just don't play well with others.

Okay

Have a good day!

What if I don't?

I sucked, which, unfortunately, has been the norm all season; worst season, average-wise, in memory. I've no clue where the first two balls are going. Ever since the Shingles, I want to pull everything to the left, regardless of where I set up on the approach. Super-frustrating; can't wait for it to be over....5-6 more weeks.

I was going to comment on several things, but decided it was best to just say, "you know where my mind is!" Then I realized that "where my mind is" is the gutter which relates to what you are talking about. So now I am trying to stop laughing.
