And here we go again,,, I was not going to set more until fall, but when I delivered 2 pullets to a neighbor, he said "would you hatch some eggs on halves for me? I tried a batch and it went horribly wrong" So I said I would and he pulled 10 eggs from the nests, and another 12 from inside. Mostly blue eggs, some pink, and a few brown with spots, I added some (14) eggs from my girls that have been prolific as a control. 36 in all (6 center slots empty)
First 2 days with no water at all, ran 25-30% humidity, when it dropped to 21% I put the glass of water in and up to 40% humidity.
I am using filtered water this go round (reverse osmosis)
@ day 18 I will fill both trays and remove the glass of water, looking for 80% humidity
I am going to figure out how to use this thing! 26 out of 42 last batch, not horrible but could be better!
Leg tags, what would be good to use for IDing/marking the birds as they hatch? And where would I find them?
