I can see the headlines now; Man kills chicken babies. Ok well its not murder it was an accident so maybe its just chicken-salughter. Here is what happened, the incubator is in our utility room which gets hot during the day and cold at night, sure enough it got kinda cold in there and the incubator went down to 91 degrees. Now that may sound plenty warm bt not for hatching eggs, it needs to be 91, so we compensated and turned the thermostat up on the incubator. 10 hours later when i got home the incubator was 117! thats way too hot. So its back to the drawing board, got some new eggs and started over.
Got some more work done on the chicken tractor these chicks are going to live in (that is if i stop killing them) I was able to get the vertical supports and two of the top side borads up, I know right, it looks like an upside down table with no top, but I'm going to be a chicken tractor some day (sung with my best Billy Joe Shaver impersonation)
