LOWERING TEMPS lockdown IS NOT NECESSARY but is said to AID THE HATCHING PROCESS post #2898

Ah, thank you Chaos and Banty!! I knew it wasn't necessary, but I was trying to point out that it might not be a full scale calamity, either. You all ROCK! (and I've got it bookmarked now!!)

I need to remember this, I have been stressing when it drops below 99 in my forced air. Thanks for the reminder.

Day 22, I came into 10 chicks (two BCMXBO, the other seven are either FBCM or OE) I moved the ten out of the incubator because it was so crowded I couldn't even see the other eggs, I'm hoping the humidity wasn't compromised too badly. Now that I've move the ten I can see at least three of the other seven eggs have pips.

Impatiently awaiting my Dorkings and Silkies to hatch. It is day 20 and not a pip in site. I realize that seems crazy, but my last two hatches started on day 19 so I assumed my bator ran warmer (always says 99.5 or 100) so now I am like "wth?". I know they are alive and well bc I candled 2 before lockdown yesterday and they were moving and grooving. One had a fairly large air cell, but was moving around. Didn't candle the others since I didn't want to disturb them this close to hatch. Have 13 dorking eggs and 2 random silkies that my friend was going to toss since she didn't want and I said what the heck...might as well try. (not that I need more silkie chicks...I have 14 babies right now and only want to keep 3-4 of the females if I can ever sex them!)
