Kelly! You said you were going to do that yesterday! Get yourself up that ladder right now! I hope you remembered to pay your property taxes too!

This is killing me! I could actually see the terror in his eyes and I've never met the man.

Ok unless my sanity returns in the next 19 minutes I'm putting this into my Octagon:

That's uh... slightly more than I figured on setting for my first hatch. Darned egg math.

So the tally:

11 BLRW from ILOVEFRIZZLES in Georgia
18 of my own barnyard mutts (turken roo x the banty, EEs, white leghorns, turken, hatchery cuckoo maran, dark brahma and 3 unknowns - one might have been the buff orphington that was so rudely disturbed in the nesting box by a cold hand snatching eggs 10 minutes ago... hopefully that was her egg).

I will not plug in the big bator.
I will not plug in the big bator..
I will not plug in the big bator...
I will not plug in the big bator....


Darn! It's not working! I have guinea eggs from last weekend and 4 silkie eggs I took off a first time broody hen in the mini bator(gave her duck eggs instead....hopefully she wont break them!) I'm only going to be able to fit about 6 eggs today....unless I plug in the big bator!

I know .... I was thinking the same thing ..
What is WRONG with Kelly? Is she outta her mind? Is she TRYING to give him heart failure?
Mary, go

take care of that girl!

Y'all have some beautiful eggs going into your bators. And goochgirl, what are you thinking???? Re-wiring??? With 38 minutes to go!!!! OMG!!! Note to self...she's probably a young'un and doesn't have her good sense genes fully functioning yet.

little tiny voice, so's not to disturb anybody on the edge
When I set up my Octagon20 last night, I'd just washed/disinfected the foam bumpers and that foam bottom sheet thing.....the digital read on humidity indicated 107%. It's done now, but 107%??? How can humidity be over 100%?

I can't. She's 14 miles away!

What if I have a flat or run out of gas or hit a deer or a patch of black ice? What if I slap her and she slaps me back and my face swells up and I can't see the clock? What if I'm carjacked by a gang of Prius chop shop thugs? What if I am attacked by Jack Russell terriers in my own driveway? It is just too risky. I can't chance it. She's on her own, foolish girl!

Good point ..... yeah, I understand. I guess a cyber slap will have to do ....

Kelly...

gryeyes .... I read an article about that, too .... about humidity over 100%. Yes, it is possible.

I don't think that can be! Did you dry the pieces well before putting them back? Mine read 87% last night after cleaning the foam parts but with the heat on it quickly stabilized. I hope Mahonri doesn't see this.
