weird  thing did happen today.....out of the 71 eggs i set in my fridge bator, i already took out 14 of them because they started piping....they weren't due till the 28th-29th if i remember correctly......good thing i had at hand the 2nd bator i have on lockdown with my black sexy lingk/jersey giant eggs which is also piping so i set them 14 eggs in there with their humidity at 75% hopefully they do well ....crossing fingers...........fl.gif

i think what happened is that my neighbor took a while to collect the eggs at his farm and since it's been hot down here in south texas  those eggs i got from him for my incubator some were already incubating themselves by the heat of the day....that's the only logic idea i can come up with .....so those eggs were already 4 to 5 days incubating themselves by the heat of the day and that's why they were early pippers.....like i said good thing i had another batch on lockdown due tomorrow so i just added them to that batch.......wee.gif.......i was running like crazy trying to get them to my bator with it's ideal humidity 75% where i have my other batch.....barnie.gif
