Hey I have a question .... I went to the feed store today and when I got home with the feed I started second guessing what they have me
It says to get chicks "crumbles" so that's what I asked for but the bag they gave me says 16% egg ration crumbles and it also says for chicks 20wks of age :-( is this the wrong stuff?

Chick was just hatched, the 3rd one, and it clearly has not absorbed all it's yolk sac, it is hanging out if it's abdomen. It is not at all attached to the egg now, it is stumbling around the bator.

Okay. Fair warning. I totally geeked out with my weight statistics.

I calculated that the eggs should be losing 17.88 grams a day, which works out to .76%. Today is Day Sixteen and they should be at 2061 grams, but are actually at 2094. That means they are only 1.61% above what they should be. This is with the incubator at around 45% for the first fourteen days, and running completely dry for the past two. The humidity has been bouncing around from 9-22% in the incubator without water added. Indoor humidity is around 35%. Will continue to run it dry for two more days and then lockdown!

I am happy with this and can live with it. Hopefully the chickies agree.
