Ok incubating experts. My kindergarten eggs are 4 days from hatching. When do we remove the turner?

You can remove it tomorrow or even today. We are hatching together! My eggs are due Monday so I am gonna go candle and put them in lockdown!

Considering it is Friday, today, unless someone can do it tomorrow.  Also if you can increase the humidity slightly tomorrow.

Good deal. We are planning to do it tomorrow. Should we put paper towels or something between the eggs and the wire floor?

Good Morning - think I am getting better as each hour passes now. Kind of felt it break in the chest yesterday afternoon. DH is leaving for Aitkin today. That means that I can do what I want to do when I want to do it. Not that I don't already. LOL

Got the okay to order wheels for that tractor that the neighbor made me. DH hates Tom attacking him. So that will be the free-ranging for the chickens - in the tractor. I am pretty happy about that.

All-in-all - this day is shaping up to be an Ivie-type of day. Love the cooler weather. Lots to do indoors also.

You can, but it is not necessary. Remember paper will absorb moisture and you want the moisture in the incubator now. A little bleach will clean the hatching mess.

@I Love Layers Hows your mare Sneaks? I hope she is doing better. I have 2 horses myself and I worry so much because there is no equine vet way up here in the Arrowhead.

A little better then yesterday still can't walk much..
I'm just hoping she doesn't founder or go lame since she's the best horse we have .

I hope Sneaks is turning the Bend for you I Love Layers.

Ralphie. Your Portholes are full of adorable chicken Fuzz. How Handy!

Sadie this morning went to the neighbors' to bark at them, again. I dislike this dog ALOT. She is in her kennel for the weekend. We are school of hard-knox this weekend. So so BAD. And how annoying to have neighbors like us.

I have the chickens in the run and the coop for the weekend as well. They are putting down new cement this morning for a foundation. I do not want to be the neighbor that will be cussed for chicken tracks and labrador tracks in cement. I'm not sure what the attraction is over there... But it is highly annoying.

I believe they've made the mistake of feeding Sadie a hotdog once. And having bird feeders and deer corn dispensers.....And my animals LOVE the neighbors. They are making me look bad right now.
