HILARIOUS! I have never heard of these, I did see one without feathers on its head but never a naked one! What do you do in winter? Do they wear sweaters or what?

I'm having incubator issues. set my chicken eggs in my little giant , 9300 still air incubator, on the 3 of February and hatch day was supposed to be the 24st, i took automatic turner out 3 days b4 hatch day just like the directions said, my temp stayed at 98 an my humidity wouldn't stay past 60. I'm using a still air, and it has holes in the bottom but do i need to plug them up? all my water runs out when i add water, i left the eggs till today cause they were stinking. so i opened them an one was rotten, and the other two had chicks in them but I'm i think had died on the 18th day. should i plug the holes? should i place a hand held little fan inside? please some one help me

Jarrod your temp shouldnt be below 99.5 , a old cpu tower fan would do you wonders and turn your still air incubator into a forced air . Which will even the temp out in the incubator then the humidity wouldnt have to be as high . my humidity is set at 53% . however if you are wanting to increase your humidity you can cover the holes with tape or i would advise to add a sponse to your water reservoir before plugging holes. to low of a temp kills embryos , to low humidity they get shrink wrapped in the egg , to high they drowned in the egg .

OMG those are adorable! So you knit sweaters for them You could make some money in that alone, especially since more people have birds as pets now.

I miss Rudy!

moved chicks to the brooder and set another tray of eggs.
will moved a set to the hatcher this evening after I sanitize it from this last hatch.

We sure enjoyed the rain this week....the ponds got some much needed run-off.
