KDOGG331’s Hatch Thread!!!

[ShrekDawg]

Also the turner didn’t turn them. As suspected.

I'm five pages behind, are all of them not good or are some of them good?

I hope some are still good.

No one knows for sure.
We are hoping some are still good.

I hope so too.

Did she at least turn them I was making chicken taco quesadillas and plant based pasta primavera so I missed a lot. I'm behind on all the threads

Not yet.

And hey you think I could have some of that? Lol

Not she hasn't turned them.
I'm sure of it.

Yeah I haven’t yet.

I’ll go do it now.

I only got back like an hour, hour and a half ago but I’m trying to motivate myself to move.

Shopping all afternoon really wore me out LOL

Did finally get up a little bit ago to boil the water and make food though ha

I’m gonna go turn the eggs now.

Gonna forget the fish for now and focus on the eggs.

TURN YOUR EGGS!!!!! Or you won't have a wicked pissa hatch...

boiling water for the thermometers atm.

In the future never move the bator or adjust the temp if you can't watch it closely for a few hours.

Ridiculous.
It takes 5 seconds to look in the bator to look at the temps.
You should have checked within the first 5 minutes of walking in the door.

I got not one, not two, not three, but FIVE thermometers.

Thought maybe I’d put some in the fish tanks too lol

Yeah that was probably a mistake.

I checked it like 20 minutes ago!! I was trying to do the fish first which is part of why it took so long but then I got sidetracked

Kelsey, what the heck is going on here? I happened upon this thread, and thought, I'll look in on Kelsey and her hatch.

995 posts! I apologize, but I have not read it all. I hope your little chickies are doing okay, or at least the ones that haven't given up the ghost. I didn't find the part where you felt that some weren't viable any more.

Good luck! Listen to @Kiki !

I’m not really sure. I candled the eggs yesterday and quite a few appeared no longer viable but then I candled today and @Kiki said some still looked good/couldn’t be sure so I left them all in. I’m hoping some are still good.

It was also pointed out some of the embryos appear to be stuck to the side of the eggs.

I believe the turner is not turning working properly and I also believe I may have had some temp spikes and made the mistake of trusting some of the digital thermometers I had so I am going to be hand turning from here on out and adding several glass thermometers (calibratable) and hopefully save a few.

I definitely made a lot of mistakes and hopefully didn’t kill them all.

I tried to read as much as I could before incubating but I guess must have missed some important stuff.

I believe shipping may have damaged some of them.

Hopefully it’s not too late.

Here is the part where I found out they might not be viable. Sorry the pictures aren’t the best.

And it’s okay!! Totally understandable!!! There are a lot of posts!! I honestly didn’t expect this thread to be so active!! Haha

So totally understandable just skipping to the end!! Hah

I’ll keep updating as I go along and hopefully some will still hatch.
