I did have to help one of the Lavenders that was upside down and glued in. Any advice for getting all the sticky stuff off it still hasn't fluffed up like the others. The feathers look wet but are hard. I did run warm water over its back to get the stuck shell but it's still feels hard.
I got 12 out of 16 that went to lockdown. It's a miracle... They survived 2 power outages, traveling and hour to and fro, and overheating with thermal pad on the way.

I hope everyone's hatch went well
Just went into lockdown a day late. This batch has really been through it and I am not expecting a good outcome
The storm Tuesday really messed this up but hopefully some of them will hatch...

Awesome!!! I am trying to get my Lavender crew established. The first 2 I hatched had no beards and muffs so I'm hoping they are girls and that I at least get a cockeral and a couple of pullets from this hatch
Ok so I'm not terribly outside of the range... Temps have been holding well. My last hatches I kept the humidity between 35-45 no problem but that was during the nice Spring weather... @bamadude do you have AC? Is that how you keep the humitiy low? I don't have AC
Any advice on getting humidity down in humid weather? It has been staying between 48-56. I had filled the wells less than halfway when I set on Sunday but I just checked and they're empty now. I currently have popcorn cernals in halves of plastic Easter eggs in the turner...
