Good morning everyone!
 
Awww, baby ducks! How adorable

The boys and I made it home. Mom's doing.....okay. We'll keep an eye on things and see how it goes.

I've got the hatcher set up and Marans eggs will be going into lockdown today. Hope Mel was doing his job!

Honey and I went to a local rodeo Friday night. Between that and some other things, I've been bitten by the riding bug pretty good. My poor horses haven't hardly been touched for the last three years, and it was pretty hit or miss in the years before that. Amy is going to need some serious work on manners, but I think they're going to be one of my summer projects. I miss riding.

Phil, that's sad you never heard back from your donor. I'm eager/nervous to make contact with Sean.
 
Ok, I admit it....HELP! I am on day 19 of incubating with a Brinsea 20 autoturn and don't know what I am supposed to do for lockdown! Anyone want to tell me? My temps are 99° and humidity had been all over but now holding at 40%. Did some candling at say 12 but they are so dark I couldn't tell. One I did 2 days ago and over 2/3s was dark and moving?? But that's all I know! Help!

Local eggs or shipped? Take the incubator out of the cradle. (Unplug it first - LOL) fill both wells, and then I take a doubled paper towel and line the bottom of the bator from one side, down into the wells and to the other side to up your humidity and also make for easy clean-up.

Take out all the rails, and line the bottom of the tray with rubber shelf liner. Lay the eggs down with the air cell facing up and put the lid back on.

Good luck!

Mine go into lockdown on Wednesday.
 
Okay, deep breath. IN.......OUT.....you've got this. An expert has weighed in! Any advice I would have given wouldn't be that valuable with my track record!

But does it mean anything that the advice I started to type when Friday's new post popped up was exactly the same? Does it mean I actually LEARNED something??? Yayy for you! Yayy for Friday! Yayy for me~
 
Ok, undid the cradle but didn't unplug it until after I undid it...Lol..Deep breaths taken as I fall to the floor realizing that I think I am a day late on lockdown?? Well,I'll go do the rest now... And local eggs,not shipped. The cells that I could see at day 12 were good but big bcs if low/swinging humidity levels.
