Brian, it's so good to see you

I've started moving the eggs in my Brinsea around, just in case... Though so far I've had no problems with it.

I've copied and pasted this from my article for reference: Quote: Humidity AFTER they pipped is not listed as a cause of fatalities, but it is before. Too high humidity before pipping can lead to fluid build up in the air sac, I've had that happen with my second hatch. Shame, the poor chick...

That makes sense! Too high Co2 levels can be fatal, that's why I push for maximum ventilation in the incubator, especially after lock down. I always leave my incubator's vent hole open fully. I think 90+ % humidity could be problematic though.

Kathy I don't know exactly at which point the humidity would be too high, but I prefer to keep it around 65-70% at that stage. Why do you want to hatch them in the incubator, instead of letting the hen hatch them?

@ozexpat, I keep stumbling over more info on feed ingredients now? Here's another interesting site: http://www.ingredients101.com/soybeanml.htm

Love you, girl

Oh Sally, I'm sorry to hear this. But I understand

Oz and Sally need to stay busy

@ozexpat I found this when I was looking for something: http://www.avianaquamiser.com/posts/Protein_content_in_chicken_feed_ingredients/ You mix your own feed, don't you? I thought you may find this interesting.

Sally, sorry I didn't get the notifier for the tag and I didn't check the thread for days. We had a death in the family that took my time and my mind off BYC this past week. Congrats on the new daughter

That's wonderful news, Sally! Now get some sleep, please?

Sally, you're a good mom. Fowl, canine and human Beautiful puppy, fingers crossed he'll heal up soon, so you can stop worrying and get some sleep!

Good luck with it, Sally and

DS found some frogspawn in the river and brought it home. Me being the softy I am dragged the old fish tank out of the garage, which DS took as encouragement, so I now have a tank full of tadpoles and even more frogspawn sitting in the kitchen. I must admit I do enjoy looking at them... They are...

We are finally hatching something other than tadpoles (don't ask ). I gave my broody hen 6 eggs, which are/were due tomorrow, though I think my timing may have have been out. I went to check on her now before I closed them up for the night and she's got one completely hatched, 2 internal pips...

We're having a few technical issues on the site at the moment, mostly with pics not showing up and members being unable to upload images. The engineers are aware of and working on it. There's a thread on it here as well: Site update issues I hope they'll get it sorted out soon...
