You don't, that is why it is addicting. The rush!!!!On day 20 of my very first hatch ever. No pips yet. How do y’all stand the anxiety!?
Do you have a generator you can use, if you do make sure to use a surge protectorSo... I have recieved notice of a full day power outage on the 31st... quail eggs due to hatch tomorrow, and two pekins ducks due to hatch 31st.... is middle of winter here (thankfully no snow) so... how do I keep my brooder warm, and how do I keep incubator warm/humid enough to hatch?
I lost power about a mouth ago, I had an incubator on a surge protector another one wasn't and the one that wasn't, when unplugged from the generator blow the controler on it. I am now using it as a broader with a heat lamp.I'm not supposed to use the generator for "personal reasons" but it's looking like the only option. Good to know about the surge protector thank you. Its something I wouldn't have thought of.
Sorry!Welp. I don’t know why I’ve NEVER been able to work skipping chicks under a hen. :-( I think ive tried six times?
the momma who has been sitting over two weeks did not take them. Got there at daybreak and three were scattered in the coop. Fourth was under her but as soon as she saw it she attacked it.
so, I threw them under my broody with her older chick sitting with her. The chicks were quiet and ready to just lay after who knows how long on their own at night. Mama was frozen so I was kind of nervous. I hung out and set a few things up for the day. I decided to put a small feed dish in with momma. She ate. She did not cluck. Hmmmmm. Sure enough, when a chick poked its head out her wing, BAM. She was not happy at all with the chicks there.
welp. Now I’m brooding my own chicks and breaking broodies today.
