    Well one of my chicks passed last night... she had a really hard hatch and didn't seem to be growing like the others. She slept way more than the others and did nothing but chirped all day and night.... I was really hopeful because she seemed like she night make it, but she was the tiniest and...

    All 6 fluffers together, fluffy and happy. Don't mind the little green headed one... i wanted to be able to tell the difference just at a glance between the welsummer hens babies and the one buff orpington baby. I had ordered chick bands but they never came in and amazon just refunded me for...

    I was so sad! I still had 6 of my 9 eggs hatch luckily and while 2 looked like they might not make it, they're up and about today and fluffing up nicely. They did take very long to dry and fluff up... probably because they had a lot of fluid.... but I'm thankful to have all of my welsummer x...

    Sadly we lost 2 eggs. They had pipped, and then didn't progress and just quit. I think they might have drowned because of the humidity problems I caused by following the instructions on the incubator 😣 I still have 5 wiggling around and chirping through the shell, 1 that made it out and is nice...

    I'm loving all of the chick pics! Today is day 20 (I think) for my eggs and I saw two wiggle and I for sure heard one chirping! I'm so excited, but I'm still really worried about the air cells not being large enough 😫

    So I was able to figure out that one of the 2 questionable eggs was no good. There was no movement and the veining was not like the others at all... actually I couldn't really see veining at all... so... being curious... I couldn't just throw the egg out. I wanted to know what day it stopped...

    I had actually bought a good humidity monitor when I purchased this and it got lost in the mail... Amazon finally just refunded the cost and I had already set the eggs for about a week and decided I would get one for the next hatch but we'd "wing" it (pun intended) this hatch... which might have...

    Sound like a good game plan! I'll do this! I'll start looking for pips and not add water till then. I read the reviews on this incubator before purchasing it (I've read horror stories of lost batches of eggs due to malfunctioning incubators) and it seemed like a good one at a reasonable price...

    Here are two that look a little better but still seems like maybe too much humidity I've taken the water out of the reservoir and the humidity had stayed around 45-48%... will this be low enough to do the job in the next few days since they're already pretty close to hatch? My incubator is this...

    Loving the chick pics! Can't wait for mine to start hatching! We're on day 15 here and I had a few questions.... I see movement in 7/9 eggs and of the other 2 I think one is still on track but one's air cell is much smaller than all the others with no movement... is it safe to say this one isn't...

    Day 7 and I see movement in all my eggs! Very exciting. Are chances good they could all make it? I'm not even sure how to Guage that!

    I'm on day 4 with my incubation and can finally see the little veining and even the little flicker of a heart in my blue egg! My kids are so excited... heck... so am I 🤣

    I've just set 7 eggs for my first ever hatch. Hoping to get some olive egger babies! My roo was an olive egger and I'm hatching 4 welsummer hen eggs, 2 buff orpington hen eggs and I have 1 EE egg. If I put these in last night around 5pm would it hurt to add another EE egg that was laid this...
