Sure it is supposed to be delivered on Tuesday. What is flexwatt?

When you get it will you please post pics of the underside? I have made one out of flexwatt and was just wanting to know what it looked like really.

I first tried to hatch the old fashion way, laying them down, they all died. So I read some one else thread about egg cartons, so I am going tyo give it a try . I got to wild looking wigglers !! due Jan 28th. I am just learning, hopefully I will be sucessful some day !!

I never did the egg carton thing, it just seems odd to me. Of course there is the great possibility of the chicks pipping on the downward end of the egg which would cause suffocation. Also, it greatly stunts movement which is a great help to chicks hatching. Doesn't seem like a good idea to me, is the reasoning for the egg carton method that you feel it would be cleaner or what? Just curious

It is a heat tape used a lot with reptiles. http://beanfarm.com/product_info.ph...=5569&osCsid=bdbf15d9bf3564c81ebe4674f0ee9b3a

Checking in. Set 50+ eggs on the 7th and 20 turkeys. Today we are down to about half of the auto turner on the chicken eggs and only 3 turkeys. So disappointing! Praying that the ones in there will hatch. Looking at lockdown on the 24th and hatching on the 27th. Keeping my fingers crossed all will do well, especially the turkeys

. Not sure what happened. Thinking the long commute in the cold weather had something to do with it. The incubator has been very steady. Trying a new hatch with some ee eggs and our own barnyard mix. Good luck to everyone going into lockdown soon

I set eggs on the 2nd and only 1 made it. It started breaking out about an hour ago and it sure is in a hurry. Is it normal for it to be breaking open from different spots? She has 2 spots that shes working on right now opposite sides of each other. Cant wait to post pics for everyone!!!
