YO GEORGIANS! :)

You've been giving us updates every day. So... LEAVE THE EGGS ALONE! LOL!

In all honesty though, that might be the problem.
 
Well I left these alone totally for the first week. That's more than I usually do. These have been very quick looks (I used to remove top entirely every day).. And it's the worst ever.

So, I'm gonna say that's not it.

:( But I'll stop updating lol.
 
No pics today I went a bit later than usual and it was very crowded. Look in my album I did find a new addition. Just 1 this time, only one kid knows I got her and she melted to when she saw her. Shes on the roof cause our male is so big he could get to her easily and cause some injury to such a little girl. So when shes big enough she will be our first doe. I named her Nymeria from Game of Thrones direwolf. Reading the book and love the name.

Three more Legbar eggs dead this morning. I'm down to an incubator tied up for THREE EGGS. No rhyme, no reason. My bator has run more steady this round than EVER before.

I'm assuming Jesus just doesn't want me to have Legbars.

How do you know they are dead? Blood rings? Do you visit the Legbar thread? A bunch of people had trouble with their legbar hatches/chicks over the years. I have one splash legbar. Got the eggs from Richard Jordon down in south GA. Only got two eggs.....yea, this was for my first time hatching eggs, and when I went to put them in lockdown, I dropped one! Smashed it on the floor and I cried while I held that dying blue legbar! I don't remember EVER dropping an egg in my life before. So, I hatched the one legbar and we named it Nemo, like in the movie because he was the only one to survive. She is broody right now sitting on some duck eggs for me! Lays a nice large green egg when she is laying!
 
Good morning all!

I'm technIcally on vacation, but it is not as much of a "free time" vacation as I hoped. I finally lobbied for a half - day today, so I have time to read posts. I'm glad we're still adding new members and new babies to the forum :). I don't have an update on my own critters back home, and that's making me a little crazy, so I'm off to make a phone call! Have a good day peeps :)

Some were blood rings, some are very obviously stunted and not moving. One isn't a full "blood ring" but you can tell the blood is falling down the sides, and the vein (only one) reaching to the air cell is pencil-thin, barely red.

I think now I've measured my temp incorrectly? Those who use a turner AND a mercury thermometer, do you consider laying the therm ON the egg turner as being "halfway up the egg"?

Because I've had mine on TOP of my eggs this whole time and have been staying at 101/102.. But this morning I've moved it to the turner an now it says like 96/97. :/

So I'm thinking that could be it?
 
This is also my very first time using a turner. I think I'm making a connection maybe. Not that it's a turner fault but that I just threw a whole 'nother curve into the learning maybe.

You should lay it on top of the eggs, buy your temp is way too high. It should only range from 99.5 - 100.5. I use three different thermometers/hygrometers. As long as all three are in range, I am ok.
