POWER CUT & eggs in the incubator :(


Recommended Posts


6 hatched, 4 were culls bent up feet 1 with bit of the stomach outside. 4 eggs unhatched with chicks full stage (or thereabouts) inside. So the power cut didnt have any significant effects!.

 

Talking to a mate today, and from what ive told him he reckons too much humidity. All cleaned out and sterilized, another 10 eggs ready to go in tonight, they will have zero water added & will only fill the one resevoir 2 days before hatch due. See where that gets me.

 

2 chicks under the lamp, seem happy enough.

WELL MATE ,

 

 

YOU HARDLYS EVER GET TWISTED TOES WITH A BROODY HEN .................. PLUS THE POWER NEVER CUTS OFF !

 

YOU CAN TRY ADDING RED CELL TO THE WATER FOUNTAIN FOR THE TWISTED TOES THIS SOMETIMES HELPS THOUGH MANY WILL REMAIN TWISTED MAINLY THE CENTRE TOES

Im gonna not add any water till I turn the turner off this time. What is the red cell stuff?

 

The incubator is up and running with another 10. & I will let one go broody now aswell, which was always the plan, same hen last summer sat her own and hatched 6 out of 7 and put some other eggs under her later on and she hatched them out for me.
