breasting is when you only take the breast meat off and throw the rest away.

I just want to say that ChickieLady is my new BFF and she ROCKS!!!!!!

You guys have no idea how I h ave agonized the past few years trying to hatch my own eggs and just having disasters. It means so much to me to have someone who can hatch SO WELL!

CL, YOU ROCK! Thank you so much!!!!!!

Your bestest buddy ever - Diane : )

Diane you crack me up!!!!!!!!!!

You now have 10 pips, assorted greys & blues.
And you have 2 hatched, both from greys, 1 is yellow and 1 is chipmunk, so cute & tiny, they are sleeping in a pile.
Out of my 4 eggs, I have a (brown 1st gen) OE hatched, a blue, and 2 blue ams hatched, both blue and 1 more blue am to go.
So, things are going well out there, just made them another brooder box...and maybe a nap now.
Humidity at 65%
Temp at 99.6
I have been told by a few really old chicken breeders to raise my humdity,at lockdown, instead of 55% that I used to do, I raised it to 57-65%
Incubator rides along steady at 37%
Don't know if this will help anyone else, it works for me.
I have a humidor digital in the lockdown box, from a cigar shop.
It is small, and thin, and came with a magnetic stick-on so I can easily see it, and remove it when I clean.
I also have an inside-outside digital, which has wires to go into the box.
I know some (of you ) have no humidty read outs, cuz humidity is auto- matic in some incubators, so this may be an option for you to know what the humidity is in your incubator.
OK, now for a nap~~~~~~~~~~~

So yesterday I snuck in a turkey poult which is roughly the same size as the rest of our flock in one of the coops. Well see if my wife notices. Its supposed to be a BR hen, but I think its more like a bronze. Well have to wait and see.

If you want ducklings, either SQ blue, or a blue cream or black cream, I can sell you some. Holderreads have a min of 10if you are shipping and they do sell out. I ordered mine in Jan and won't get them till April.
