It is so cool to see them hatching out!SURE!!!
Super excited for first hatch!
I had to help the first out who cracked her egg 16 hours ago because it seemed like the membrane wasn't breaking just the shell, and she seemed really stuck. Fingers crossed I didn't do damage, I was trying to help.
The other 2 came out all on their own!
I ordered mail order hatching eggs since no one around here had any, and so far it's looking pretty good. They are all barnyard mixes (she had like 8 kinds of roo's and 10 kinds of hens) so it will be fun to try and figure out what kinds we have!
Here are my first pics!!!
I am new to this, so take my advice with a grain of salt.Today is day one. I put the eggs in this morning and now I'm having trouble with the humidity. It's at 58% and I can't get it to go any lower. If I keep opening the lid the temp is going to drop again. Is humidity okay to be a little high? Ugh. This is going to be a long stressful 21 days! I don't want to mess up!
This is good advice, but not always a possible solution.Just a note from a long time hatcher. If you are a first time hatcher do not start with eggs that you purchase over the net. You get old eggs, badly handled eggs, and broken eggs. Even experienced hatchers have trouble with them. Stick with local pick-up eggs and preferably light colored as they are much easier to candle. Would hate someone to get discouraged from a bad hatching experience when it was out of your control. Hatching eggs is an enjoyable experience. Have fun
