    Hatch day today but nothing yet

    Evening, our 3 miniature silver Appleyards are due to hatch today, there are no cracks yet. I can just about candle them through the incubator and can see movement around the edge of the air sack and in one we think we can see a beak. Is hatch day when they are meant to pip or actually be out...

    Day 11 candling Miniature Silver Appleyard

    We hope we’ve got 3 good eggs here, we took a video too and you can see movement in all three, we are hoping that’s a good thing?? Unfortunately the other 3 eggs are empty so we will dispose of those ones but everything is crossed that we get these three to hatch 🐣

    Which thermometer do I believe??

    Good afternoon, I’ve got a Brinsea Mini Advance that is set to 37.5 and today I’ve added a small hygrometer to measure the humidity. It’s showing 55% humidity but it’s only saying 35.5 on the temp 🤦🏼‍♀️ Which one do I believe? Shall I turn the temp up on the incubator? Thank you
