Perhaps if bee is not too busy, she can edit her first post on page one to keep a log of the goings on as well as catch the newbies up to speed so they don't have to try to read the whole thing...like I did, lol.

I had a hen that didn't budge for weeks on end... she wasn't able to complete the hatch because she got too skinny. Got up on day 19 and never looked back. She gained a bunch of weight in the few weeks after that and then went through an explosive moltOfcourse she was 1. a white rock 2. a first time broody 3. a hatchery bird. That's a lot of stuff working against her really knowing what to do.![]()
Managed to hatch two with this contraption. Sadly, lost the rest... somewhat due to my own fault, I suspect... two pipped and didn't make it out.
You know... they have bears for babies that make womb like sounds (heart beat and some white noise sloshy sounds). Ofcourse the heart beat is much too slow... but it's one direction to think in. I happen to have one in my storage building, but we're expecting a human baby soon.... so I wont be able to donate it to the chicks, to see if they like it![]()

Past a certain point, the OP cannot be edited, so no changes can be made at this time. Sorry!
As of midnight, I am into day #3, I guess. I've turned them several times today and the nest feels perfect! The temps are staying rock steady on 100.0 on the #3 setting, but I just turned the water balloon sleeve around the thermometer and got higher readings. I think I just learned that I need to turn that each time I turn the eggs to get the right reading at any given time. I turned the setting down to #2 and will monitor the temps as this goes along.
But you made this thread 2 weeks ago????
