is there anything I need to do at the auction

Yes-Bring cash and make sure you can afford the upkeep and have proper isolation from your flock to keep these birds separate in case they are sick.

Quote: yummmy!!!!

So looking like you've all gone to bed, but I thought I'd report back anyway....

Came home from work... (face painting if anyone would call that work?? but hey, I get paid!)
Candled and tapped remaining eggs as instructed. No movement... no cheeping...
Floated them... no movement.


All the air cells were quite small?? I think too small?? so does that mean too much humidity on days 1-18??

I am yet to do eggtopsies...got to work up the courage too.
So out of 11 fertile eggs, I have 5 chicks (one sticky, but ok) and 6 who didn't make it.

on the bright side... I WILL GET GOOD SLEEP TONIGHT BECAUSE I WONT BE WORRYING!!!

Thanks so much to all the wonderful people who gave me advice. Was much appreciated. God bless you all, you are amazing!

I wouldnt bother eggtopsy them, I can tell your humidity was too high as well as your temp too low. Calibrate and read the info I gave for next time about humidity and calibration. And you have a fan in the bator corrrect?

Are the shows online?

I believe they post pictures of events sometimes, but as far as I know, it's all local for people.

The only thing my daughter was bummed about, is they don't do horse shows as part of our local 4h clubs (some do) it's really dependant on each area, what they do/allow, so each 4h club can be drastically different from another one.

They also sometimes go to schools and teach nutrition classes, and other stuff. We homeschool, but they require a certain amount of volunteer work to get points, in order to participate in auctions.

It is a very nice project!

Brings lots of money, 'cause I think they might be more expensive than most auctions.

they are. sometimes the chickens can sell for 200+ a pop.

These shows aren't to get cheap livestock - this is where people waste money to support the kids and local farmer associations.
