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

[danielkbrantley]

Because you asked!

I got a dozen mutt eggs and 11 of 12 hatched out. The first hatched Thursday evening around 11:30 p.m. Three more hatched overnight. Another hatched in the morning while I let the big girls outta the coop, and the other six hatched throughout the day. They're now in the brooder and are painfully cute. My girls (human daughters) have been oohing and aahhhing all day.

I used a borrowed LG still air and bought an egg turner to make life easier. Kept it at 99-100 on my digital thermo and 101-102 on the (non-digital). Humidity first couple weeks was 45 or so, then let it drift down to 35 until late on day 18, when I amped up the humidity to 63-65%.

And I am still in shock that it worked so well and so...easily...

Thanks all for your help! If you scan through this thread long enough, you'll see how uninformed I was prior to this. Your help has been irreplaceable!

Thanks a million,

Daniel

@BantyChooks - sorry. Never tagged someone before. Very easy!

LOL, I pop in and out of the reference pages here every so often, when I'm not in the pond.

Happy Anniversary to you and the Mrs!

Hey hey hey!

Okay, this isn't about incubating chicks, but it does involve some.

And since this is the most popular thread of all time and I need a quick answer or two, I'm hoping some of you fine folks will click here and give your thoughts.

Sorry for the quality...
