Geeze... y'all have such great luck!!! I've only had 3 out of 20 survive. Not gonna give up, but think it's too late in the season to try again. Winter is just around the corner. Rotor

Start of day 23, and still only have the 2 hatchlings... looks like I have 9 eggs that are duds. So out of 20 eggs set in the last month and a half, I've got 3 chicks to show for it. This has been a little disappointing. I guess I'll try again in the spring. Rotor

The babies were having too much fun in the bator, so I moved them to the nursery today... Rotor

Thanks millielynn... They are a little cuter than the chick that hatched 3 weeks ago... that one is kinda scruffy looking right now! LOL

Chick #2 just kicked itself out of the shell Chick #2 relaxing a bit... Chick #1 coming to see what the commotion is all about! Currently 2 out of 11... Rotor

It seems most folks recommend leaving the hatchlings with the eggs, but I can see removing them to the brooder if they are causing a ruckus, as long as they are dry and fluffed. But take anything I say with a grain of salt... I'm just a rank novice at this hatching stuff. I've always bought the...

Another egg has pipped... I'm so egg-cited! Rotor

Congrats millielynn... sounds like things are going well for you! Rotor

There was just a loud "PEEP PEEP" from the incubator, and we now have a complete yellow chick lying there free of the shell! One down, 10 to go! Rotor

Today is hatch day, and I guess I didn't totally "fowl" up. Got home last night about 8 PM from the local car show, and nothing was happening. Around 10 PM one egg pipped. Then nothing. 9 AM, still nothing. At 10:15, the chick knocked a chunk out of the shell! It's now resting comfortably in...

About to go into lockdown. The humidity has been running around 50% lately with no water in the bator, with both plugs out. What should I keep the humidity at during lockdown? I'm hoping something good happens Sunday! Rotor

After doing more research, it turn out the bator is an older Hova-bator. Tomorrow they go into lockdown... we should know soomething by Sunday. I'm getting egg-cited! Rotor

The bator I'm using is borrowed and appears to be an older Miller Mfg Little Giant still air unit. I've been following the directions for the unit. The folks we borrowed it from haven't been real successful either, using the directions. We've got a little over a week to go on this batch, so...

I'm wondering if I ruined the dozen eggs I set in the foam incubator. I've been following the directions for the incubator, with water in the bator. The humidity has been pretty high (about 70-75% on the reptile hygrometer in the bator). It's now day 13, and the humidity has finally dropped to...
