You're doing all you can, don't beat yourself up. I feel like that too lately. All of my turkey eggs got fried, one of my poults I'd bought a while back died, one of my doe rabbits died two days ago, the other doe I thought was bred but should have been due by now and never even built a nest, I knocked over a bunch of seed trays and killed almost all of my tomato, pepper and eggplant seedlings
It's a snowball effect, and when it's like that it feels like each subsequent thing is 10x worse. Just gotta grin and bear it I suppose. At least the weather is getting nicer
Penzeys is so good. I love their apple pancakes.
Cool, thanks!
Skimmed through all the posts and now I have a craving for mole and flan. Agggggghhhh I just remembered I had tamales in the fridge! They've been there since last friday!! How did I forget?
OK I lost 2 babies during the night. I ahven't touched them, because she runs over and watches me and I'm not going to upset her right now. The incubator idea was great, but I have 90 eggs sitting here waiting for empty space as it is. But I was trying like crazy to figure something out. I think I'll buy a bunch of socks at the dollar store, cause I had a bag full for just such an emergency and I think I accidentally threw them out. I was so worried that since it's been so hot out lately that the heat was going to hurt my rabbits and the kits would be to warm. Finding them the way I did, I was just not really for. This doe is a great mom usually. The other is doing this for the first time, so I wasn't to surprised to find that kit dead on the wire, but I haven't seen any others and I was out there just before I went ot bed andshe was in the box alone.
The hatch...................ahhhh yes, the hatch. I went and checked and my pip hadn't gotten any further. I looked and from what I can see there are no other pips, but I did run a mag over several last night and none had internally pipped. So I tapped on the window and I hadn't taken that Sumatra out, but was getting ready to. He picked up his head! I swear I thought he was dead when I went to bed. He was stick somewhat stuck, so I brought him out of the shell and he is still kind of connected to the membrane. He's not moving much at all. I gave him a drop of Polyvisol and put him back in. That's all I can do right now. As for if there's too much or not enough water in there, I have no idea. Stupid hydrometers! I'm not even using them now.
So no activity or noise and that pip was still so tiny, so I added a good amount of water and once I closed the door and went back about 10 minutes later, the pip is bigger and I see that little beak moving in there. If I have to pip and assist every single egg this time, I'll do it! I don't want to do that, but dang it, I'm tired of this. Ran and checked real quick and the Sumatra is laying there with shallow breathing, but he's breathing. The pip isn't doing anything even when I tap. BTW, it's another Sumatra. At least I know those are some strong little chicks. My shipped eggs have mostly hatched and done really well and I'm waiting to hear on some I just sent out, so I feel good about someone else hatching them at least.

Have you discovered their Sunny Paris? So wonderful in scrambled eggs. DH has coronary artery disease, so we do a lot of salt free, too, and our favorite spicy one is 33rd & Galena... Yummy on baked chicken.
