My hygrometer is maybe 2 degrees off. I calibrated it before and it was either over by two or under by two. It is an LG (I know, I know!

), and all the troughs in the bottom are full, with paper towels wicking out of the biggest one in the middle. Plus there are 2 sponges and 2 washcloths in there that are soaked!! Maybe I just need to wait and see if it comes up!

The one the buttons are in has been running at a steady 70% for 4 days now, I kinda had my hatch day a bit off. But it has been holding steady, but it is also on the floor. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.


Mrs. AK--- I forgot to ask you to tell Mr AK I said 'HA!! So far I have 4!!

' And make sure the

is super wet!!

Ok, I lied. Now there are 5!!

ETA: this one is also yellow, but it looks like it may have brown stripes on it!

I used Lg for a long time....i now have a sportsman and love it.....well maybe give it some time to go up.......I had silvers and they were yellow but has they fluff out they will have a tint of gray to them....sometimes being on the floor does matter...mine were always on the counter.....

Well, I've only had a few silvers and whites hatch... the whites are pure yellow, and the silvers have other mottling in the yellow. But... there are a couple of silvers in with other colors, so you may have some new and improved colors!

(OMG... my DH just came home and printed a receipt... for a GQF Sportsman 1502 incubator!!!!!!!!!!

It's my Christmas pressie!!!) I can't

him now!!!!

Thank you!

Today has overwhelmed me a little, with the hatching and the gift... OMG... the damage I can do next Spring!!! LOL!

Shelley got the last of the buttons... I haven't seen more than 3 eggs in the last 5 days.

It's too cold and too dark for them to be laying, or for me to be shipping now. I was

that the cold wouldn't get Shelley's babies... obviously not! I'm so happy for her! But I'm sure come April they'll start cranking out the eggs again, if you want me to put you on the call back list.

 

[ladybug4ut1]

Yes please put me on the call back list. is it dark all the time up there now...

 

[shelleyd2008]

That's so cool about the sportsman!! And the way he sounds he wishes you wouldn't hatch at all!!

And just tell him the

is from me, he will know what it's for!! He said with my luck and the shipping and cold, I should get about 2!!

 

[shelleyd2008]

It is so weird how these are doing!! I got 20 from marie this summer, AL to KY, about the same distance, and no cold to be factored in. I got one out of those! I guess I just did it right this time!!

And one does look like a silver!!

 

[shelleyd2008]

Have six and counting!!

It looks like there are 3 or 4 silvers!! You must have a lot of those Tori!!

hey shelley congrats!


Actaully after seeing the pics they look like silvers, then i read you said about stripes they're probably Cinnamons then (though they looked nada like cinnamons, looked like silvers to me so prob silvers lol)!

Will be easier to tell once they're out and fully fluffa

heres my cinnamon hen as a chick:
