fourth egg hatched about 1AM today. Last one hasn't pipped yet. We'll give it another day and pull it. 80% hatch so far though. Pretty good for the temp issues at the start. So gald the new thermometer/hygrometer arrived. 30% day before hatch. got water in just in time.

Cracked open the fifth egg just now. It appears to have died about 5 days ago. Nearly fully developed. Final count is four very noisy chicks growing.
Incubated the eggs to see if the roo was fertilizing any of the hens since he was only 4 1/2 - 5 months old.
