    In the end, 6 out of 7 hatched and are doing well. The one that did not hatch was the one that had the lose air sac when I got it. I am thrilled with our babies!!!

    Rubynala97, how did your hatch go. I am on day 21 and no pips. I candles at day 18 before lockdown and all eggs looked dark and saw some movement in most. Didn't keep them out of the incubator very long. Very worried I haven't seen anything. It all looked so good!

    That was a great article. I recandled and my air cells appear ti be on target. I could see movement in all eggs. My daughter was so excited. We at first didn't see movement in the smallest egg.

    I bought and put in a separate thermometer and hydrometer. And was shocked at how off the bator thermometer was. I made adjustments to the temp. I gave it holding at 99.8. I read hatching 101. I am so nervous about getting my eggs tomorrow.

    By what the incubator was saying. Thank you. I will put a temp probe in and monitor it. I have it set up in my studio which is quiet, still and I maintain the room temp at a constant temp. So hoping that will help.

    Hi folks! I have kept chicks for about 4 years. Small backyard flock. My daughter and I are about to set out first batch of eggs. We bought a magic fly incubator, cleaned it well, and have it running as we wait for our eggs. We should receive them on Monday. BAntam partridge sillies. I know that...
