He sounds like a minion with a big ego. So, minion king.

Okay..... Correction! Chaos, you sound like a 6' 3" minion with a big ego.

Better?

what do you run your humidity at? I was wondering after you posted that

lol, that is not the voice you have in my head

Actually depends on what I'm incubating. Bantams I tend to run a bit higher, mutt eggs quite a bit lower, but usually I try to stick around 30%. Currently mine are dry, but still hovering around 34%, but still looking good, so I'm not going to worry about a few percentage points.

Nothing wrong with disagreeing!

I agree! But there are those that think their way is the only way.

And seriously, after watching 8 broodies this season, we really have put way too much thought into the process.... Hell, I moved a broody last night (away from her bitchy sister who decided to stuff her butt in the nest box in the past few days). When I pulled her out, 3 chicks had hatched, the other had pipped. When I went out this morning, the last one had hatched too. So disturbing her, allowing air to get to the pip, jostling the eggs around... didn't hurt that pretty little chicklet!!

You hurt my feelings. I will not tell you what I see when I look at you.

See Liz's comment. But, yeah. For the most part.
Don't edit. You may be the only one that is right.

Don't get me started!

you told me already once

Yep, at lockdown I run around 65-70%, and I don't worry if it jumps up to 85% while they are hatching.

This one was the first that hatched yesterday (nice birthday present, dontcha think?)
Chocolate orpington momma, OEGB chick.


And I took this pic, this morning in her new location!

Agree, and when my OEGB Reynbow was sitting, another hen pushed her out of the box as the egg was pipping, so it got left out without a momma!! I found it fairly quickly, stuck it under momma, and it was fine. Phew!

You hid your birthday from us? Happy late birthday!

Happy belated birthday. Sorry for hurting your feelings.

No, you aren't! LOL! You know me well enough to know that I pick up on certain things. I still won't tell you!
