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

Your son is a teenag, and he have a smart phone? And he also have a free access to free Internet? Don't be naive. ........!

he doesn't have a smart phone. He also doesn't have unfettered internet access anywhere. I'm evil that way. Everything he does is supervised. my daughter has a siri/smart phone, but she doesn't have a cell phone plan, she only has it for school and it's only usable with the houses's wifi and she's got parental controls on it, she uses it to look information up for school.

She mostly uses it to ask siri about what bugs are, and learn about things like what it takes to have a pet tiger. LOL but the minute she starts looking up anything that's not that, it would be gone too.


none of my kid's friends have smart phones, or internet access, the homeschooling community we are a part of, tends to make sure the kids aren't being stupid on social media and things of that nature.

Alright! So I'm at 3 Araucana right now, 1 Wyandotte I'm not sure is gonna make it (lookin like wry neck straight out of egg, I'll let the breeder know), and 1 Whiting True Blue(still in incubator). 1 Wyandotte passed after pip'ing

First two out and dry. The black one I posted earlier about demanding out. The white was no different...

Chick pile of cuteness!

They were trying to eat shavings. I put the bowl in and showed the black one, it was eating mouthfuls, then the two white came over...one proceeded to get in eat n sleep lol

so cute ;o

o it was like 36% before I added water.i thought its suppost to be like 40-50% from research.but I want to do my best to batch these six.i can't remove water without taking everything our so I will just let it evaporate and at day seven fill two troughs and start at that

My non silkie eggs, I ran around 30% humidity, the silkie's i'm running around 50% humidity most of it, but it's because after reading a lot of stuff on silkie eggs, they do a little better with more humidity.

Didn't Sally say to him, "no water if it is above 25%"?

i thought she did.

He definitely needs to listen to her, if he's going to hatch these eggs.

I know eggs can require different levels of humidity based on breed and egg size, and if she took the time to write him something specific to his eggs...he should follow it.

I just woke up. no caffeine in me yet, and a toddler climbing my head. Not quite awake and coherent.

Maybe I should go back to bed.

A mouse got into my cereal and pushed the box off the shelf and I woke up to kix being spread all over the kitchen floor and my cat just laying there, being useless. What kind of cat won't kill a mouse?

(And for what it's worth, I hadn't read that far back yet, with my above post. All I was saying was what I was doing with the silkies.... I was trying to go back and read the discussion I missed while sleeping haha)

so cute ;o

Thank you. After having the Wyandotte chick with the others, including the WTB, I've confirm my suspicions that's its feet look huge too. Pretty sure they're swollen. It has a small air sac on the right side of its neck as well... This chick is about 1/4 size bigger than the others, and came from a large egg...not sure if any of that factors into anything... Every time I go back to sleep its managed to flip over n start screamin... Work is going to SUCK tomorrow.

Do you think it's savable?

Shhhhhhh! You will wake mine! She has hit the "terrible twos " and I am afraid of her now.
Go back to sleep if you can!
Ick on the mouse. Mousing is taught by mom, but it should have done something! At least the chicks safe from the cat.
