You got any boat lounge seats consigned?

Forgot to mention that I am looking for a Partridge Silkie Hen or older Pullet since I lost my. My roo is lonely.

Grace (gracefulbantams) has one that she is bringing to POOPS. She may be bringing two partridge. I am not sure but you can check with her if your interested.
 
got a question for you guys...this batch of eggs, have a lot that are pipping and zipping, but the membrane is sticking to them and keeping them from hatching, is the humidity too low or what? I have been finding the membrane stuck to their heads and backs real bad, have lost several so far like that...at least they arent movin anymore, this is day 21
 
I wish, I hadnt been on the net in so long that I was surprised to log back on and see poops was in a week.

You should sell them pyncheons to Teach, not sure he has the will power to turn down any bantams.

Humidity is to low, this will cause you to lose chicks that will never make it out of shell. Get a wash cloth, old sock, etc and soak it in hot water and put it in there sopping wet to raise humidity, this works for me.

During the hatch is the only time I even worry about humidity becuase of what you described. The first 18 days I just make sure theres water in the bator.
