Daawwwwww, shucks, they're cute!  Does anyone have suggestions on a specific heating pad to get?  Both of ours shut off after an hour.  That makes for long nights.

Did anyone notice that was the Mississippi State band? Not bragging, just wanted chicapee to understand that more thought goes into it than just random pics

But I think including that in the total numbers would make us focus more on why certain eggs don't develop. If the incentive of a parade is enough to make us tweak our incubation practices, then everyone benefits in the long run. Amy has been the only one to meet a high standard so far (as much as it pains me to say that ), so it actually is something that makes me want to have a better hatch. If I don't pull it off this time, I'm *gasp* buying a scale...

Wanna borrow my Siri?

What I'm saying on the percentage total is I think it should be based on all non-clear eggs. It will be much easier to go with lockdown, and will make more parades available, but if I have 20 fertile eggs, cook 18 of them before lockdown, I don't think I should get a parade if I hatch 2. Somewhere during my incubation, I did something wrong. Even if it is mechanical failure, we should have the incentive to find the failures and fix them.
I know that the prize is a fake online picture parade posted by someone I will never meet, but doggone it, I want one

I totally agree with what you are saying (I seriously just typed "setting" lol). Especially with shipped eggs. Exactly, what you said about setting 20 eggs, locking down 2 and if they both hatch, you're at 100%. No, definitely not, imo. The work comes from trying to get as many eggs as set into lockdown (and ultimately hatched). Taking notes, striving to improve methods, trying something new if something old is not working, researching. It truly is an art.

She had 20 set originally... 1 clear and 1 BCM questionable... 18 went into lockdown, one with ?... 13 outta 20 shipped is a parade any day, lol...

It's excellent!!

The parade was GREAT!!!

In other news just finished the new mhp. They lurves it.

I can't wait to try it!! My whole brooder is ready to go but no chicks!! (I still have 2 quail eggs due Tuesday).
