[LaynaDon95]

So far 23, but we have to cull one... :'(

I'm glad you like the calendar.

LaynaDon95 did you read the thread about helping? I found it VERY useful!! Good luck!!

Where is the thread about helping. I have done it in the past couple years but I have people telling I was wrong for doing it.

I set 55 in my bator last night. I am so excited! Humidity always worries me, not temp.

 

[LaynaDon95]

I don't have a hygrometer so I have no idea what my humidity was. But I had less than 10 out of 33 that didn't hatch.

 

[LaynaDon95]

Or you know, haven't hatched yet.

 

[mkeawsh]

I had a hygrometer for the past couple years and had less of a successful hatch rate that when I did not use anything. I have been trying to decide to just not put one in or not.

 

[mkeawsh]

I had a chick born like you did and before I could decide what to do, it died. I was heart-broken. I had never had one like that before.

 

[LaynaDon95]

Yeah, I'm not very happy. I'm gonna have my dad do it.

 

[mkeawsh]

Are you going to do it the baking soda & vinegar way? I have had to kill chicks before and I can remember every single chick and every single time. It's all a part of incubating. It doesn't get any easier for me but I justify that it is the best thing for the little one.
