most books and folks will tell you 30% humidity and no higher than 40 (for 16-18 days) and at lockdown go to 60-80% humidity.
Once the chicks hatch, and they are all wet and drying off, the humidity will go up.
have a turner ?
Makes life so much easier and you do not have to open the bator door to turn eggs and let the heat/humidity out.
I have no Welsummers...LaSombra have welsummers ?

okay thanks - I think I understand now... I got my numbers confused... so its holding humidity in the right place to add eggs... and then when I remove the turner and lay eggs on wire add more water? so the humidity will go up to 60-80 but it will likely go up on own.

yes, on lockdown, candle, and toss clear eggs, keep eggs that are dark inside, that is a baby...and put air side up in a paper egg carton, top removed, remove egg turner, add another sponge if necessary and waite.
Remember never wash hatching eggs.
Anyone remember any advice ?
Oh yeah...try not to open the bator unnecessarily and don't help the chick hatch...it's hard to do.

Yes my neighbor feeds the coons, they allow them to use the area under their deck as a den...

I just want to reach out and give her a big old Smack upside the head. Cause she has young grandchildren who come over ALL the time, and play on that deck.

Wheazy is doing just fine. The Vet said that IF she is prego, then the pup is really good at hiding. She came out yesterday and checked both girls, used a handheld ultrasound on Wheazy, and saw NOTHING!

She also looked at Kona. Kona is supposed to be fixed, but the Vet isn't so sure that the scar is from a spay... Said the placement is wrong for a spay scar... It completely blows my mind. I might have to take Kona in to the actually Vets office and have her checked over...

If it turns out that Kona isn't spayed like we were told, then she will be altered, as I REALLY don't need pups. Oh we were told that we are WRONG on Kona's breed. She isn't a mutt! She is a Newzealand Huntaway...

Wheazy on the other hand... I am not allowed to spay. Unfortunately their is a contract with the breeder, that states that she must have 1 liter before being spayed... I didn't originally buy Wheazy, I took her in as a foster 3 years ago, and she just never left. Now she is a permenant resident in my little home.

I sure do get myself into some odd predicaments don't I?

Might want to let your neighbors know about all the diseases you can catch from coons.

Ive informed her about the diseases... She doesn't care cause "they're Oh so cute..."

I say a good coon is a dead coon... Everytime I see one in the road or on the side of the road. My husband thinks I'm funny.
I learned how to shoot, shooting coons. Been doing it sence I was 8 years old. lol
