No need to log every hatch, but if you do something different or hatch in much different conditions and the results change, that could be helpful.

Here is how to make a nice link in a signature:

I can put links in my siggy, I'm just curious as to putting a link to a direct/individual post vs the page the post is on. So when you click on it, ot takes you directly to that post.

I quoted this just to show that you are the one and only person this ever happens to

 

[scflock]

Right click the post number, then copy and paste the link

If we are going to keep, ahem, visible, then I am going to log every hatch. I don't do HALs

Oh I can't have this you are so fearless . you walk among the lions nothing scares you. You reach out to friends for friends . in trying not to be selfish with My data .I fear that I didn't mention you . and others that I should have . you all have made me laugh .helped me not feel the heavy weight that I carry every day . and for that Thank you all . so went and found something for you and Ross and Walnut and Chooks and our baby girl Turk I could go on and on about the wonderful people that I have met here but will not . thank you Friday

Thanks again for thinkn about me

Yes!! Join in! Please! We are glad to have you. I use the LG9200 as well do you have the fan kit or is it still air?

missed you!

Hey you!

Hey You!

Speaking of that, Walnut and I have been talking for the last few days about a great idea for the thread. OK, it was her idea, but I talk way more, so here it is: Hatching season is coming up, and I have seen it posted that people shouldn't give advice on something that hasn't been researched. Since the gang is all back together, I think we have every conceivable kind of incubator covered. Some of us began hatching last year , some of us have been hatching multiple species of birds for many years. Sounds like research to me We could kinda start the thread over again where it started before Amy went on vacation. For absolutely no reason whatsoever Tell what incubator you have, what has worked and what hasn't, and yes, we are reviving the red and blue teams, as well as parades e , for the new season. What do you guys think?

I was gna vote yes but its already been decided...

Everyone's input counts. Taking into account regional conditions, altitude, and equipment will make this immensely valuable. So I'd like to suggest for "incubator experiences" that they be: Firsthand experience Your general location Time of year/average weather conditions Brand and model of incubator How it's equipped (still air, forced air, type of thermostat such as analog or digital, and proportional or not if known) Incubation set temperature and where measured Backup thermometer reading and where measured What kind of eggs How you control humidity and what you tried to maintain How long it took to hatch Whether you assisted in hatching What percentage made it to 3 days I incubated in 6 or so different incubators last year but I would like to focus my observations on what I am doing today, as the last two years have been dissatisfying to say the least. And as a last step, after posting, please put a permanent link to your story in your signature for others to find easily. Or do it your way, and it may still be useful!

i how thorough you are, i wrote everything u have there and im going to try and answer now, but i have two things id like specified, as far as the eggs go, i feel like the age and the storage should be tracked as well as the the type because of your fridge eggs last year. Also the percent who made it to three days, is that chicks made it alive after hatch to day 3 or the eggs? I really appreciate the learning oppurtunity that yall are offering me here!

That is a great point. I've set eggs as old as four weeks, but best results are DEFINITELY had with eggs less than two weeks old.

I don't typically do anything special for storage unless I need to keep air cells really small for long storage. And that is its own can of worms.

That's chicks that live to three days without health issues that require culling. Most terminal/cull issues will present by three days. For instance, chicks with malformed digestive systems will be fine while living on yolk but when they move to solid food, the issues start. Or those with peritonitis or other issues will reach a critical state by 3 days.

So what are we putting in our signature? The post we make with walnuts outline?

 

[WalnutHill]

You make the post, then just link the post in your siggy so that everyone can see what it's about.

Psssst, Turk, still no pips
