Congrats! I hope I hear some peeping tomorrow on day 21 for me. I have 8/12... 4 werent fertile...shipped eggs. All had development around 14-15th day. I didnt candle after that. At this point, I will be happy if 1 hatches. Yes, I want more...but this being my first hatch, I am so...

That is strange. Did they hatch on their own, or did you have to help them out? If I have to help them out, I end up giving them electrolytes when they are about 6 or 7 hrs. old. Just a tiny, tiny drop of it...about every hr. and a half, then an hr. then watch to see how they are...

I'm so sorry to hear about your Delaware chick. I am one that would probably want to help out my chicks too but I am going to try hard not to and let nature take its course. Too hard on the heart when something happens like that.
My incubator is a Brinsea eco advance... the temp has been between 99.5 and 99.7 and the humidity i have had between 45 & 48 %. I was going by the instruction booklet and it said the RH should be between 40-50. Also I have another question, when I got my eggs and unpackaged them, I only let them...
Hi All!
This is my first time incubating and hatching. I set mine yesterday, so I hope I can join in. My eggs are BBS orpingtons that were shipped. There are 12 and all looked fine to me, but I didn't candle them. I don't have an egg candler, maybe I will try making one... I am very excited...
