well i got a temp spike to 102 but I'm going to set the eggs any way right now. i have been trying to regulate that bator temp for 2 days now that's as good as its going to get. hope the temp don't spike when i put the eggs in?

I just sat 228 various varieties of ameraucana eggs. Alot of them were over two weeks old, so I don't expect to hatch more than 150. I may be having an auction after I candle in ten days.

228!?!

AJ I hope your temp stays stable! Do you have your bator in a fairly draft free place? I always had the best luck with temp stability when mine was in a room that had no drafts and wasn't entered much.

And of course, YAY for more hatch buddies!​

Yes, I have a seperate room in my "clean area" for my incubator and hatcher; it has a very stable temperature.

Sorry Pips! The second part of my last post was for Aj1. He said he was having trouble with temp spikes.​

Day 2 complete!

Chole is still sitting pretty. I made her get up this evening. She spent her 10 mins off nest fluffing out and drinking lots of water. I looked around the coop, and still haven't found any broody poo

I think she's hiding it on me. I checked her crop and it was fine, and she acted normally.

Who knows?

Now I have to make a confession. This evening I went over to close up the coop a bit later than normal. So I bought my flashlight with me. While Chole was off the nest I quickly checked the eggs, and I'm pretty sure I saw development! I had a hard time seeing through the 3 blue/green eggs. But in the BR egg and Chole's lil egg I saw almost exactly what's shown on the 52hr development pic here , which is almost exactly the time frame we're at. I really thought there was no chance that Chole's egg would be fertile. She'd been seperated from the roo's for almost 2 weeks!

I hope it keeps growing!

I hope everyone else is doing well

ETA: Ok I've been looking through posts about broody poop. I found that some broody's don't go but once every 4-5days! Phew! Here's the link for those interested.
