We have a house in Kingsland that we are selling. We've been renting it out for over 7 years now, its time to sell. We thought we had a private sell worked out, but it fell through due to the buyer having some health issues. Now we've decided to hold onto it for a vacation home for the summer. To make it worth it, we'll obviously have to use it. Which brings us to...
The weekend that works for us to go down this month, is the same weekend the chicks in the incubator are suppose to hatch! I didn't know when I set them or I wouldn't have.
My last hatch was a 100% failure. I'm trying to be more hands off this hatch but this would be pretty extreme...
Its a 5 hour trip, with stops, so taking it with us is probably out of the question. I hate to cancel the trip because of the possibility of chicks hatching after my first failed hatch. They 'shouldn't' hatch until around 2 in the afternoon on Sunday and I know they are ok without food and water for a couple of days. We don't have anyone I would trust to check on them.
Has anyone had to leave a hatch at hatch time? How did it work out?
Maybe someone on this thread lives close by or on your way and would be willing to egg sit. You could always give them a couple chicks as a thank you after you pick them up.
