That was my mistake the first several times..... The humdity day 1-18 should never be above 40/45, and like I said I was only succussful when I would keep it between 20-40.... That worked for me but it is trial and error until you find what is right for you.

This is my fourth time incubating, and my first time I consider it successfull. The first three were very disheartening but I have found the dry hatch method to be the best for me :)

The black beaks are Silkies. They are just semi (too!) adorable aren't they?

A few of the babies had to come out and greet the world :)

A few pics of my babies :)

I'll load pictures in a bit, but so far 4 Buff Laced Brahmas, 3 Gold Laced, and 6 or 7 Silkies with more coming. If the first one hatched yesterday when should I take them out and brood them? I am worriedd about shrink wrapping the ones that are still in there, but it's getting to be a tight...

First Silkie out! I'll send pix tomorrow!

Every time I look I see more pips! :) I have at least 14 pipping, one hatched, and some rockers that have not pipped (out of 42....) so we will see :)

42 eggs still unhatched (4/6 with pips).... they are either Buff Laced Brahmas or Silkies :)

First baby!

First Pip!..... Happened last night around 10pm, and was seeing no movement. This morning around 5:30 it started again and has made a bit of progress.

Congrats!!! I am still waiting, and keep going back to check. A lot of movement and no full pips, but I can just see where they are going to pip..... or is that my tired bleary eyes....?

I'm glad they are all doing so well :)

Don't you wish you could explain that all to the little chicks! I'll add good wishes to your little one.... Maybe just taking a nap building strength.Good luck Tina! I know the fear! Mine have no pips, but its day 20, and I have a couple rocking like they are at a concert :)

I would be cautious if there are any pippers in the bator at present. There was a very good article I read on helping them out... some where on BYC. It mentioned using a washcloth (wet and warm) to wrap around the shell to soften it. Is long as you are in a warm and not drafty room you...

LOL, as the egg I thought was pipping began to rock I could see that what I saw as a pip was really hay stuck to it! In lockdown and waiting :)

I hope so too! How is it doing?

Leave him! They should work it out themselves... ;)

After they pip it can be 12 hours before they really start wait at least 24-36 hours before you consider helping as opening it could put the others at risk

I have at least 2 PIPS!!!!!!! YAY! It´s payoff day lol, Babies soon!
