Yah

man oh man... never hire a man to do a womans job

Oh well, it IS a beautiful door so I guess I can't complain too loudly, and the carpeting guy came today and I was afraid he'd say something about the brooder in the house, and all he wanted to do was play with the chicks! People are so funny...

Congrats, Carrie. Pretty babies!

And I so wish I lived close enough for ladies night! Try talking chickens to the women around here and they just think they are gross. A lot of them won't even eat my eggs because they think they're not as clean as the grocery store eggs. Go figure.

Gotta share this "I feel so stupid" moment. I took the thermometer/hygrometer out of the bator this morning to put a new battery in it. I cleared the temp history that was in it and laid it on top of the bator. I did not put it back in because I was in a hurry to get my daughter to a doctor appt.. This afternoon, I went and looked and the temp was 99.3 in the water wiggler. So far so good. So I pressed the history button and up pops 73 degrees. I nearly cried. It took me a few minutes to realize that because I had not put the thing back in the bator the "indoor" temp was not the temp inside the bator, but outside where I had left it!! LOL. And then, it hit me. I've been stressing about that number (indoor) way more than I should. It's the water wiggler temps (the "outside" history because I have the probe in there) that are staying so steady. And since they approximate the eggs, we are good. I made this mistake the entire last hatch and messed with way to much because I didn't just have stupid moment, but a stupid month!! "I" caused all kinds of fluctuations because I thought those were highs and lows of the same measurement. Stupid, stupid, stupid, lol.

Really, I'm not usually this dumb. But this was pretty funny after I thought about it and calmed down. And to think how I worried myself and you guys so much with the last hatch with those temps. Geez.

Thought you all might get a good laugh at this inexperienced hatcher who just had an epiphany!!

Duh!

We are all learning together and from each other. By the time we all know all this stuff...well we may never. Just keep the things we learn and realize coming!
