All you can do is to follow the hatching program as good as possible, so that the temperature and moisture are right. And keep closed at lockdown, let the chicks hatch do not open up to peek. And do not take the chicks out to early, let them rest and dry up. Start the time from the first one that hatch, so you know how long the other ones still have to hatch.
We do not help them to hatch, if they do not make it they are to weak. But we do control the temp, moisture and time as perfect as we can.
We are hatching a few eggs each year, and saved years towards professional incubators like MS and Hemel. Glad we went that route, and now the incubators can do their job for a few years.

I just do everything Possible and let my husband and so all others be themselves and let them do there things.
After reading al your stories, I pray that we will be able to help each other. Freesteading is a good way to get and stay in contact.

Yes it sure is crazy, but for “some” people also man and husband the world is just fine and life is good. Sticking your head in the sand and hiding it out, is a lot easier than grabbing the bull at the horns a give a hack off a fight. Why work and prepare, if they come for the rescue.

MemberSeptember 7, 2022 at 2:48 pm in reply to: The Unwilling to Participate SpouseI love my husband, but I wish we could work more together as a team. He does not like gardening, take care of the animals and sure not butchering.
So I do all that work alone, it is what it is.
Used to be the crazy chicken lady, but I will do all I can and prepare.
