Well, I put my early pipper in the hatcher late last night... and the humidity is steady at 75%.  Baby better not shrink wrap on me!

What do you mean by full moon affecting hatches?? 

My eggs due for today and tomorrow aren't hatching yet.  After the last 3 hatches being early, I'm nervous now.  LOL    I'm waiting breathlessly for Turkeys, Pheasants, and Geese.  The quail are here, the muscovies aren't due for lockdown until monday, but with the waterfowl, I guess I'm more just waiting for internal pip, followed by removal to the still air hova w/68-75% humidity at all times.  

Happy Hatching!

well today i pulled duds in the bator.

had to pull 8 (4 clear, and 4 blood rings)

one egg still looks questionable.

but im left with 13 eggs =/

they had set on the dresser longer than i wanted to collecting how many i wanted and sending julie hers.

but overall not that bad i guess. its the older eggs that are quitters.

waiting on it to warm up a little before i go check for ext pips under the hens.

oh and lastnight we checked the little tiny red hen (due the 11th)

and man was she vocal.

she screamed bloody murder at us you woulda thought we cut off her legs or sumthin.

she had 5 eggs i bloodring the rest doin good.

so looks like for wednesday i have 15-16 eggs right on track =) so i expect maybe 10 babies wednesday.

and hopefully 9-10 this weekend.

CG, that's a lot of babies!!  Best of luck for a smooth hatch!!
