Just popping in for a moment to post a shot of (one of) today's project... my homemade hatching baskets to keep eggs separated so I can band the chicks from different pens.

Details of the project can be found here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/hatching-baskets

@Chaos18 I set two FBPP @ 7:20, I expect them to hatch around 7:35. The temperature is at 400° I'm not checking humidity.

Love it! I need a better method for humidity. The jars and sponges take up too much room. :/

I was concerned that my chicks drowned before they had a chance to hatch. They where a couple days late but 15 out of 18 hatched and are healthy. Goes to show never give up. i now have 25 healthy English Orp chicks. YAY

Thanks, camping!

Have you tried using a humidifier in the room with the bator? Might be able to remove a jar or two. Just a thought...

Lockdown tonight! Last hatch this month for me, but the turkey hens are breeding and the Royal Palm is poking around every hidden nook in the place, so there may be turkey eggs soon... Then it's just a matter of convincing dear husband to let me hatch just one more time.
