Lost all of my quotes!!!

Sally, I think four is all I'm gonna get. They keep on quitting just before pip!!

MC, Banti is SOOoo cute!!

Chaos, you got your grammar mixed up again.......

are you sure your temps are not lower than before and are you sure your loosing enough weight during the entire incubation and not just at the end?
your water isnt getting moldy in during inucubation?

awesome!!!

I give up on the quotes. Sally! Goats are adorable!!!! You have me wanting to get back out my book on raising dairy goats. Realistically, how much work is it to take care of them right now? (I've got goatee fever!!!) @Sally Sunshine

@Pensmaster , yikes!!!! It rained AGAIN today - heavy downpour. AGAIN.

MAKE IT STOOOOOOOOP.... (Up side is that when it rains things cool off a little, though the humidity is horrible lately).

It has stopped raining for a little bit, so I'm going to go stare at the babies for a little bit, then I have to come back in and start on an evening full of work for the office.

Pretty sure. The ones that did hatch all hatched on days 19 and 20, so surely too low temp wouldn't make them hatch early! And yes, after havin to boost humidity to slow growth for first ten days, I put it down to normal (27%) and they lost weight perfectly after that. No, no mold or anything.... And I bleach it and scrub it after every use to kill l/o germs.

Temp was 102 at the RIGHT level this time..... Top of egg, or almost very top.....

You are my neighbor. Only one town over! It now says that it is down to 100 degrees. I hate the heat!

Well, it essentially never freezes here (or really rarely). Winter highs are 50-70. Soooooo... what's it like to take care of them now?

(Or do you mean age-wise...)

I'm in the same state, but still hundreds of miles away, and I'm in a valley. Our high was 78 today, with Fri and Sat hitting 92. We're still months away from the 100 + days. I hope things cool down a bit for you!!!

Small world. I really don't care for heat either. All birds are accounted for. In fact my older hens layed the best ever today. 19 of 22. There are others close to us town wise as well.
