Day 17: Eggs chirping!

[Matilda Belle]

I went to add water to the incubator and heard chirping with 4 days left. Should I start lockdown early?

 

[MGG]

Yes! Definitely lockdown now. Cheeping = internal pips. Congrats!

 

[Matilda Belle]

Thanks. Will do!

 

[Matilda Belle]

I think I may actually be a day off. They could be at day 18. Still early though!

 

[MGG]

Sounds good! Fingers crossed for you!

 

[Matilda Belle]

I candled and it looks like a few are further along than the others. This may be a weekend long hatch.

Day 18 isn't that early...temps might have been running a bit high.

 

[Matilda Belle]

Took the turner out just in time!
