Any peeping?

No, very quiet. :-(

LOOK Mike!!! She's coming to live with us just as soon as I get back from that darn cruise.

Very pretty. So, do goats & chickens go together somehow? Once you have chickens for a while you start getting goats?

Yep. It's a rule. But I've had my chickens for only 20 months, so it happens pretty fast.

I had escapees yesterday, fortunately Moose was able to get them all back under control.

Goats are so stinking CUTE!!

Day 13 candle. How do they look? air cells on the small side? Should I keep the bator running dry?

I would. Are you the one with high humidity in the outside air?

Hi I'm on day 20 of my third attempt at hatching. temp has stayed at 99.5 +or- .2 humidity up til day 18 was at 40 and raised to 60-70% at 18.  Haven't heard anything yet and decided I needed a little something to keep me breathing and not touching the bator.  Tell me something should come out alive soon. Please?

Did candle and check air cells along the way?

I would. Are you the one with high humidity in the outside air?

Yes, outside is down to 36% today. The bator is at 31% now.

If you don't get chicks you can come and get mine. I am going to hatch another batch for cinco de mayo.

 

[h2oratt]

Yes, outside is down to 36% today. The bator is at 31% now.

My air cells were big small so I dropped mine to 20 til lockdown. But I am very new. See what Sally and Mike say.

@mlm Mike or @Sally Sunshine you can count me in this hatch-a-long... I just set 30 HRIR eggs in the bator.
