SO sorry I missed this!!!!

That's a good title! The Aly Chronicles! For starters, how about a pic of the Finished Bantam Duplex (except I never did get the doors painted and we still need to attach runs...) We also have a second hive now, since my original hive swarmed 3 times this spring! (We gave one swarm to a...

I gave up making my own laundry soap. I know I know, there's great savings in making you own - but in all honesty, I like just picking up a jug of whatever and dumping whatever amount needed into the washer. And no use of a cheese grater or raw knuckles involved.

I've been away for awhile, and I don't know who's been changing the POW. I don't want to step on any toes by just going back to changing the POW each week, so I messaged Nifty and I'm waiting to hear back from him. Several people had pm'ed me while I was gone (my inbox was full when I logged...

I just made room in the inbox. I've got lots to tell, share, etc.

Hi, Bee! I have missed our chats!! :hugs Congrats on your new Daughter!!

Missed you, too!!! :hugs and without giving too much details, would you please keep me in your prayers?

So I've been gone half of forever, but guess what?! I'm back!! That's all I got for now, but I think you'll be seeing more of me!!

hey, WBF, I've been gone sooo long, I'm not even going to try to catch up on your journal, but just wanted to say I'm back!

:hugs I am so sorry. I have had to help a chick or two out due to humidity being too low and sometimes I lost them, sometimes they did Ok. I hope the little buff one survives so your first hatchling will have a friend.

Ok, whew! I was worried that those babies might cook! :) Glad you're on it! :thumbsup

Is that your TEMP at 104?! you better turn that down!!

you're welcome, BB. I'm on day 2. I hope the next 19 go fast!

Barred, sometimes it can take a few chicks 23 days before they hatch. Late bloomers are common. Don't count out the eggs without visable pips yet. Once you think the hatching is all done and you remove the chicks, you can do a quick candling of the eggs to check for movement.

I just picked up 3 more Sumatra pullets for my breeding flock of Sumatras today :D

they can pip and stay pipped for hours!! I have had some pip, and not hatch out for 24 hours or more. Just give them some time, and don't open that 'bator too much! :)

Congratulations!! if you don't mind a suggestion, I wouldn't open the 'bator too much to take out hatchlings. They will be fine in the incubator after hatch for 24 hours, and it won't hurt the ones pipping if their hatchmates knock into them. ;) This will help your humidity and temp stay...

All I gotta say is........ HOW DID I MISS THIS THREAD?! I am a total hatcaholic! I just turned my incubator on yesterday. I'm using a LG forced air incubator. I set 16 Bantam Welsummer eggs, 1 Mille Fleur Cochin egg, and 9 Bantam Barred Buff Cochin eggs. I have 2 boxes of eggs at the...

Wannabe, I can't remember if you have chickens or not, but everytime someone gets cranky I'd FORCE them to go out and hug a fluffy butt. Or a goat. ;)

Frankly, the new BYC platform doesn't bother me too much. :lol: Probably because I'm still able to do the most important thing over there that I need to do.................. ............buy hatching eggs :hide I'm so glad E doesn't check my paypal account...
