INCUBATING w/FRIENDS!
A place to Hatch, Learn, Chat,
& Meet new Friends!
When I came back to BYC after an long illness I wasnt quite sure where to go, I wasnt sure where all my friends were...
hmmmm sitting here staring at the screen for 15 minutes thinking about everyone, and not sure how to say hello or explain my absence.
its so funny, it seems like only yesterday I was watching over my first set of eggs in the bator in panic, wondering if I was doing it all right or ohhhh...
I had a set of eggs sit and only 3/4 hatch only because I was hospitalized, but these were my eggs. how did it fair? This was a call duck, therefore even greater difference. would love to hear how you made out @LadyHawkeAvry
you betcha:
Malpositions=
Temperature too high or low, Turning inadequate, Large end of egg not up when set, Old or poorly handled eggs, Poor breeder nutrition
I cant remember if that was from the first set of eggs or the last two eggs he set to be honest, I would have to read back through this thread.
darn they take forever to grow dont they!
They sure didnt give us much just a written warning to follow our strict npip bio guidelines and gave us this link! http://www.aphis.usda.gov/publications/animal_health/2014/SA_WA_avian_influenza.pdf
let me see if our State Doc included anything in our Emails, let me read through the stuff or if she sent any links I can provide you with in addition to what you already have
