I am 100 pages behind.
My youngest son wanted to learn to cook so for Christmas I made an apron for him and gave a cookbook (Star Wars themed).
We had snow yesterday. I could under stand if I was in the mountains or near Canada.


I put my eggs into lockdown Monday. Pretty sure 6 won't hatch but left them anyway (dark eggs and paid for). I also removed approximately half dozen of my barnyard EE s.


It's raining here today then supposed to freeze tonight. Im glass I haven't moved my babies outside.

All eggs candled. 29 going into lockdown!

We are all sick here with the coughing cruds. Maddy had it first and now we are all feeling ucky while she runs around giving us all checkups with her Doc McStuffins kit. I hope we get it all out of our system before Easter. Outside is a mixture of rain and snow and they are calling for a freeze tonight.

hello
just say if you buy fertile eggs and put them in ur incubator at 2:00pm should you turn them that evening or start the next day im really confused and i didnt turn them this time and im worried incase they die
thanks
 
It is not a bad idea to turn everything off and sanitize. I need to do that with the Brinsea now.

I have two real copper pennies in the water tank that pumps water into the brinsea. They create copper sulfate that should kill the buggies. I sanitize the Geneses incubators that I use for hatching after each hatch. I need to get the one that is hatching today clean for lockdown for the HAL!

Is the cabinet digital? it may be a bit low in temperatures if the chicks are sticky all the time. I would bump up the incubation temperature .3 to .5 of a degree for the next set of eggs.
I add oxine to the water but maybe I should go pull out a couple of my old pennies to try instead. The temp and humidity of my digital cabinet is right on with my thermometer/hygrometer but maybe I'll try raising the temp slightly. It is mostly the Langshan chicks that are having problems. They are big chicks and in addition to having sticky ones, a number of them seem to pip, start to zip, and then get stuck. I'm wondering if they need specialized hatching conditions.
