I guess i'm lucky, most of my friends like my picturesMy FB friends I think have lost interest as well..I've noticed my likes dwindle if I post more than one per day. The people that actually do like my pictures are the few 'chicken friends' that I have. And the people who aren't comment things like 'what is that? Is that a dog? Can you eat it?"
Usually the first pictures I post of something (the silkies, the cows) will get around 20. They slowly decrease and level out at around 8. The commenters lose interest after a while. Except for my brother. He never misses an opportunity to make a quip about my animalsI guess i'm lucky, most of my friends like my picturesI don't get many rude comments
I have a room that is cooler, so I will store them there. When you say "hand shift" do you mean turning them the other side? Just wondering... isn't it better to use the egg turner?Bless those little eggs!
I don't use an egg turner. I just put them in a carton and hand shift them once a day. 70F is warmer than recommended but in the summer that's what mine have to store at. You could keep them in a ice chest out side where no sun will warm it for a better temperature. I only have a couple laying right now. They just don't like the weather I guess.
I don't have any meat in the fridge right now, only eggs. Would my eating eggs be okay? I don't really have a "cool" room, only a freezing room. I guess I could put them in my bedroom, it is cooler but still gets over 65. Is that too high? I wish I had a wine cooler!
do I have to turn the eggs even when they are just sitting? I only collected it this morning, and my thought was I had to keep it larger end up to settle so the air cell will attach to that end? Is this right or did I misread?
I kept my silkie eggs to hatch on the kitchen counter, in an egg carton. It was in the 60s in there. I didn't turn them or tilt them or anything, and I gathered them over the course of around 10 days, then put them in the incubator and they hatched fine for me
