grrrrr... mine seem to be content to keep me up all night chirping from inside the eggs!!! i had 2 of them at it last night, all night. and still no pips or anything!!! :'( i'm getting a bit frustrated here... my temps were too low about 2-3 degrees for the first couple days so i'm hoping they...
i've spent the night having chirping conversations with egg #5 which i've creatively named Cinco lol! I talk to him and he happily chirps back from inside his egg. Now, does anyone know how to say get your fuzzy little butt out here now!" in baby chick???
tomorrow's day 22.
Speckledhen- awwww! HE's sooo cute!!!! You're making me jealous that mine haven't come yet lol!
I think min will be all orange though, mom is orange and dad is orange with a green tail. I want a black one....

Maybe they are going to all of a sudden ALL start hatching for you!
lol, i wish i wish i wish!!! It's my first time hatching too, so i think that makes it even worse, i want to make sure i did everything right...
my temps have been fine and stable the entire time until today and todays day 20. i'm hoping they are moving around inside those eggs trying to get out! lol.
my temp keeps going up in the incubator!!! The room temp is staying normal, so they must be doing something inside those eggs... but I keep checking it and almost every couple hours I have to turn it back down a bit, like even right now its gone from 99 to 100.9 in maybe the last 40 minutes...

i did manage to walk away for almost the whole day! came back home, and absolutely nothing has changed.... i wrote big numbers on the tops of all my eggs before lockdown so i know if they've moved or not, nope. i'm thinking of downloading chick noises and playing it next to the...
i swear i've seen a couple wiggle a bit, but that's it for me. i'm wondering if maybe they are a day or so behind thanks to my thermometer not working correctly for the first couple days. I want baby chicks!!!

i was confusing myself too! lol. i've counted ad recounted, and then counted again, and hatching on the 13th means lockdown on the 10th, which is tomorrow!!
i think i will do mine tomorrow night since i put min in on a sunday at night, so idk if mine will hatch on sun or mon...
yay i'm not alone!!! It's suddenly not as fun since I can't see anything but a big blob of black now... now i gotta wait for them to come out to see them, lol!
I'm not sure about humidity either, I'm just following the instructions that came with my incubator and hoping for the best, so far it...
I need a hatching buddy to keep me sane!!! LOL. They're getting dark enough that all you can see is a dark blob, so i guess that's a good sign??? Especially since if i can't see the little heart beating then i seem to be less interested in watching them hehehe...
