Mahonri's 3rd Annual, BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

Quote: If you have the 1588, I can help you!!

If it's at 97, you'll want to raise it two degrees.
Look on the underside and in the square hole, you'll see 8 switches.
The #4 switch should be turned on.
Turn it off and turn on the #7 switch.

Let me know what it does.

Hope this helps.

Try the betadine and wax. You'll lose too much of the egg moisture if you don't seal it better since it's just set day

OK will do! Thank you for the advice. Gonna give that baby the best chance of hatching!

Here are mine, set at exactly 12:00pm central time. Guinea eggs to the left are not in the hatchalong. I set them a week early. 12 silver laced wyandottes.

Alrighty then, the last two eggs were laid after 11:00 [pure Silver Am and Dark Cornish X Blue Am] and added. Many are not that fresh, some over 3 weeks old.

You haven't put the eggs in yet, have you? Have him buy one of the cheap aquarium thermometers that ChooksChick recommends. You can see one on top of my eggs in the pic below and one is stuck through the vent hole in the top (the plugs are lost!) They are reliable but a little hard to read. Can someone on here with more experience PLEASE chime in and help?

Okay, Here are mine! Put in at 12:00 noon on the dot! The kid is my DS#1 mugging for the camera, I think he is as excited as I am. Well, maybe not quite!





Thank You, Mahonri! I know Countrygirl appreciates it as well!

Go back up a ways. Someone already answered this question beautifully.

I think they said keep turning them for an extra day and a half. It'll be a compromise..

I've actually seen some folks forget to turn off the turners, have chicks hatch, have chicks smashed... you get the picture.

The person who posted that GREAT picture of the hens going down a shoveled out path in the snow be sure and send the picture to kathyinmo to be put in the calendar contest. It is a super picture for winter.
