Glad to see you are home Kim, phew, fire is so scary!!! So many adorable chicks, thanks for sharing!!!!! So I set 39 of my own eggs and only 10 chicks, 2 of which expired within the first 24 hrs, their eyes never opened, leaving me with 8 viable chicks. I'm sure the 15hr 102.7* temp spike...

Same here Kim, be safe, hugs to you all, even little bear.

The marbles have been placed into the water to prevent the chicks from drowning. Keeps the water shallow.

oops that should be LG not LC, lol..... Still need more coffee!!!

Well I'm irritated with the LC again this morning. So last night I noticed my temps all over the place again, granted I had made some minor adjustments but this morning after a cup of coffee, I figure out the fan had stopped working. So I cranked the hot water in the shower, lugged the bator...

Congrats!! I keep going in to peak too. It is pretty fun. .

Come on chicks!!!!! Cheering them on for you!!!!!

I'm hoping for you too!!! I just went to check on them and watched #4 roll out. My thermometer had been knocked out of the way and I haven't been able to see it since like noon time. I gently shook the bator until I rocked it over and it was running at 101.7, so I just tried to turn it down...

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!! I just checked, still holding at 3 and at least one more pip.

Last time I looked, I had 3 chicks. Just got done mowing the lawn and hosing the horses off and putting them in early with the fans on. It's humid as all get out this afternoon. I should go check but my legs feel like rubber bands, need to rest a bit first.

Sweety13, my humidity had been about 40-50% running dry. But I have it in a spare bedroom that stays somewhat cool and I ran it dry. I added a small amount of water twice during the first 18 days.

I checked eggs before I headed out to start barn chores around 10am and had 3 pips. When I came in about 11ish......... I looked in the bator and what did I see? A tiny little chick, looking back at me. I had to LOL. There are 39 eggs in there and he was stuck like a turtle on his back...

I set on 7/11. I have 2 pips this morning. Let the action begin!! I was just worried that the bator was at 102.7 for who knows how long. I worked and went to visit friends at the hospital that day, so I was gone for just over 15 hrs. But it looks like at least some of them are going to...

I can't wait to see the pics! So far I have zero peeps and zero pips. I'm soooooo crossing my fingers I didn't hard boil these eggs at least if I did, they were my eggs and not purchased eggs.

Yipee!!!!! We need some pics!!!!

When I pulled my turner the temp was too low as the eggs were lower in the bator, this happened to me last hatch too. I'm thinking the Guineas, due to hatch in Aug will be my last hatch of the year too. Maybe going to keep my eyes open for something different for next year. I will say tho, I...

Congrats to all with chicks!!!! Sorry for all that lost chick or had no hatches. I went into lock down later Sunday night, got up Monday morning to find the bator running at 98*, gave her a tiny bump, then got home 15 hrs later to find them running at 102.7* grrrrrr...................... Got...
