    Are they doomed?

    This little girl (hopefully) came from a "Cream Brabanter" egg... is it me or does she look an awful lot like a brielefelder? Not so sure there wasn't a baby swap in the collection... which I'm not at all upset about, she's beautiful!

    Take the eggs out and dry the bator out with papertowels... You won't hurt anything as long as you are easy with them and move quickly... humidity is acquired by water surface area... depth makes no difference. Let it go dry for a few hours and watch it. If it drops below 40% fill one small cell...

    Thank you all... the clock will click to day 19 about mid day today so I'm pushing backlockdown to tonight (as advised due to high humidity) and a little prayer to boot... we'll see... I'm running dry and I still have 45% so if it goes up at all today I think I'm going to go into lockdown dry...
