We'll the Newcastle auction was standing room only. The eggs and chicks alone took 3 1/2 hours to sell! I'm heading out and they still haven't gotten to grown birds. There was a great selection of all the breeds as well.

I'm assuming the ambient air humidity of 100% has something to do w/ that! lol I would wait until the rain is gone and see if it is still that high. Shouldn't hurt anything short term, high humidity for long time in the pre hatch time can cause to little evaporation and "drown" the chicks at hatch. But that won't happen in the two days of rain we are having.

Does anyone need to thin their laying flock? Mine was wiped out by a dog , all but one. Luckily my daughters birds were in a different pen, but now all my layers are gone. Sucks it takes sooo long to get them to FIANALLY start laying. Anyways I need some young hens if anyone has too many shoot me prices. I know I missed Newcastles auction tonight, does Blanchard have one next weekend?

As soon as the chicks break an egg open the humidity will jump due to all the moisture inside the egg.
