Tomorrow is day 35, maybe I will have babies when I get home from work??? Don't worry, my husband and kids will be home watching them for me! The brooder is all set up and the light is warming up (what temp??). If I tap on the glass sometimes I can get the eggs to wiggle around. Cross your fingers for me

I am excited for you Dianne88. This Florida weather we have has played havoc on trying to keep the humidity down and manageable. I have fought to keep the humidity in my bator down to 40-45. Have they internally pipped yet? Will you drill a hole in the shell to give them more air if they don't externally pip in a day or two?
Do you know how much weight the eggs have lost over the incubating process? I will be checking in on you tomorrow to see the results.

I haven't candled them since lockdown and they had not internally peeped at that time. I have a good temp 98/99 and my humidity is in the 70's so I don't want to open it up. I don't weigh my eggs but I keep an eye on the the air cell and trace it so I know which side is up for lockdown. If I don't see any progress by tomorrow night I might candle at that time

. This afternoon they were wiggling so I know they were alive then. I will keep you updated.

No ducklings yet, I candled them and they are still moving around and only one has internally peeped. The waiting game is so hard!! I will post pics as soon as they arrive.

I was reading along and reading along, all engrossed in the story of your eggs,

and got to this post and thought, "Dang! Why didn't she tell if they hatched?!?" Then I realized that you only posted this a few hours ago... *SMH Kind of like watching something on the DVR and then switching to live TV...LOL I'll be checking back to see how you did though.
