Hey, beclu727, I moved from Dacula up to the mtns of Fannin County in 2002. Lived in Dacula for five years and, before that, Lilburn for three years. Hi, former neighbor!

 

[momma's chickens]

I started six BBS Orps today. I am hatching with you all hopefully!

OMG... see what happens...i can't get on all day yesterday and everyone's here....

Yesterday 9:28 am I'm writing EVERYTHING down. Just because it's my first hatch, I want to note what was done so I can either repeat it or change it

i know, that's why i did it too...lol. My coffee machine broke and I was off yesterday...

.. big time!

good hatching vibes to everyone...

43 eggs...speckledhen? wowzer...

so i got home late last night from work and my temp jumped up a little 110.8 and my humidity was down to 28%, so i added water. I'm now up to 38% on humidity, but my temp is still at 100.8, should i try to bump it back down to 99?
My SLW should be at my PO this AM...

now they're going to be a couple of days later, hope this doesn't mess things up...

Melinda

i'm drinking instant awful

coffee this AM... I've got to go to the convenient store for some GOOD stuff.

Hi Cynthia, We love Dacula. Moved here in 99 from Lawrenceville. We have 3 acres of mostly woods. Would love to have more land though. Then I could have more chickens. Becky

Can I join too?

I just put eggs in my homemade incubator on the 20th. I have an assortment of 18 eggs that I was given as a gift from Eric and Le of The Pampered Pullets Farm. They are trying to encourage my Chicken Addiction.
I have Silkies, EE, Serama, Leghorn, New Hampshire Red, Cuckoo Maran, Blue Rock, Delaware, and 2 from my Brahma-Orphington mix that I just bought but her eggs were fertile so I added a couple. So, I have a total of 20.

ok...NOT 110.8..it was only 100.8 degrees...see what happens when i get egg-cited!!! I would have been crying if it went that high.

Now on my 3rd pot!

WOW! We've grown. I love it!

Welcome aboard everyone. I turned on my turner at noon - split the difference between 1 and 3 days after the 24 hour post-shipping rest.

Paddock 36, that is an awesome looking incubator!

Do you have plans and building instructions in the incubator thread?
