Happy Friday Bob!Morning folks
I store my eggs in the pantry ~65* until I'm ready to set them. But @WVduckchick is far more experienced at hatching than I am.
Thank you very much! I'm trying to rationalize more Seramas by saying 1 laying hen is worth at least 4 Seramas. By that chicken math, I'm about 9 tiny chicken short.
Thank you for the tips! In regards to the temp and humidity. I keep the AC vent in the laundry closed, so it's consistently 79-80f with minimal drafts. Would that be warm enough? Would something like a sponge lightly moistened daily be enough to add some humidity? I appreciate you helping me out. This is my first hatch and I'm a bit nervous but extremely excited too!

Hmm, I might have a small problem with that. Although it is very humid here too, normally 70-90%+ outside, it is never colder than 76 in the house. On top of just being expensive to cool the house to 65-70f, I can't physically take it. If I get cold my back locks up and puts me out of commission. I seriously wear a jacket or sweater in 70° weather. At 68° I'll start shivering. I'm not anemic, but I do live as if I was.That’s probably a bit too warm. More like Bob said 65-70 at the most. I keep my house around 72 and leave mine on the kitchen counter. It’s humid as hell here.
Alright, in the pantry they go!
Ahhh, I missed the "isn't" detail last night. Makes a bit more sense now!
ya know, I almost said cool and moist. Sorry for the confusion.
Thank you!
Those ducklings are adorable!
The young Runners have warmed up to me much faster than the Ancona, but they're all coming to me when walk out there. I've got one Ancona female that spooks easily, and doesn't care for me, but I'm hoping she'll come around. She is silly fast and can jump barriers as tall as she is.
