I still hold my hands up to see which 1 makes an 'L' to figure out which 1 is my left

I have a friend who does that too! LOL

LOL, I didn't know that one

I learned that a long time ago, when I was in high school.

Incubator - 2 runner ducks hatched today. 1 is still wet. I should have a few more staggered over the next few days.

Not thinking, I took the eggs from under the hen when the 3 hatched and put them in the incubator. I made the mistake of not marking eggs and the duck kept laying in the nest with the chicken. So....

Hen - one of the 3 ducklings died. It was the runt. The other 2 look great.

I do it in a pinch, like when I need to know which 1 is left quickly, lol.

We went to lunch Ravyn brought more stuff .than their car would haul and almost more than would fit on my truck .

I have read different suggestions on when to start turning shipped eggs, ex. 3 days and even 7 days after arrival. Just wondering what do y'all do?

I let them rest 24 hours put them in the Incubator and start turning.

Sort of like having to turn a usb end 3 times to get it to fit, when there are only 2 ways for it to go?

Sadly, yes... :/ Hope you like the eggs???

thought since I haven't pictured up lately I'd better do it . so here's a few out of Ravyns chicken's top CLB then White Araucana black AM BCM and they didn't want to get their picture taken

Adorable, K!! Btw, the solid black is an Araucana, not Ameraucana...

nope just a hillbilly ready to fight. mad cause I took it out of the nice warm brooder .

Sounds like it's in the right family then...

six days . to much going on to post much . went to the sale today met Ravyn there . I'm tired Rayn goes nonstop.

Yeah, blame it all on me... I see how it is... Oops, better be careful... he's got my $10 coop on his truck...

So, I'm playing around with humidity now, while the eggs are resting and so can't get messed up Totally dry gives me around 30%. One well filled gives me around 40%. Both filled gives me around 50%. Each time I put more water in, I give it 4-5 hours before I checked the humidity, so I don't think I'm checking too soon. Do you think if I bought a sponge and cut it to stick out of the wells, that that would bring it up enough for lock down?

Sounds about right...
