come on its not that long of a drive Id fill your car REAL CHEAP!!! haha

That is the problem, I don't drive or I would take you up on it. I will have to order some eggs from you this spring.
I wish the ones you had sent my grandaughter Emily had made it. She was so proud of those eggs. I ended up finding a RIR chick and told her it hatched. Since then I got two incubators so I can do staggered hatches. One strictly to incubate and the other to hatch..............lol

Aw I remember that:-( Im sorry...anytime Emily needs eggs just let me know...She won them from me right? I chose her becauase my DD name was Emma

So, Nat...how often do you candle your eggs?

I don't have any pics of my Silkies yet, but tomorrow I'll go down and see if I can get some pics from inside of the coop. I got most of them from cjexotic on BYC. Hopefully I can get a decent pic from inside.....and obviously they can't go outside the coop....in this weather, they'd be lost til Spring. Snows too deep for them and they are afraid of it anyhow

I candle 2-3 times thats it. Usually at day 5-6 and then at 10 then maybe before lockdown

I had a 104 temp spike this am-dang bator!

 

[chickenlittle32]

I was asking so that we could candle the same day and then post our results...I am trying to be more organized this hatch and so far I am doing an ok job lol

We added water last night and our humidity was kinda high this am...I'm working on getting it lower now.

I had a 104 spike this am so I took top off bator for a few seconds and blew heat out-now the humidity is lo so when I get home I will add more water...Because of this spike I will candle Sunday night to make sure all is ok with ones I checked last night

thank you thank you--I may not be on until Sunday again? I have a tight schedule away from home-Im sure Ill sneak on here in early morn of course but then im done until 8pm tomorrow night -it will take me that long to down load pictures of our day!!!

Im beginning to think that I dont want to candle? Everytime I candle it takes "forever" to get temps back to normal and humidity gets messed up too. Im going to do it one last time today since its day 8 and the clears will be very obvious-Ill pull them and pretend as if Im on lockdown and not candle again-Ill just go into lockdown on day 18 and forget it. yup thats what Im goig to do! I just have way too many eggs that in there that I cant afford to lose from my curiousities getting to me!!! So here I go and candle again Will post results-
