Congratulations on all the great hatches, and sorry about the losses. With your humidity issues, Sprinkles, it makes LA sound crazy humid. I'm glad I live in a desert! NSampsel, Good luck, hope you have a great hatch! Well, of the three eggs that went into lockdown, all three hatched. I...

Yay!!! Stevearino, it sounds like you are doing a great job with that poor chick. When I get crispy chicks like that, I get warm running water going in the sink (have it in the high 80s or so), and I carefully give the chick a shower. You have to be so, so careful that you don't get any in...

I took one single picture while I was at the school, and it was so blurry that I deleted it. I didn't realize it was that bad until I got home though. In my signature, there is a webcam to the final egg. I promise I'll get a picture today.

Congrats on your pips, Nikkipar! Stevearino, I think you definitely did the right thing. I bet it will be exhausted and lay around for a day or so. Hopefully he/she will make a full recovery. I am so thrilled. I was pretty sure my coronation sussex had died (couldn't see it moving at all...

Stevearino, I would peel him out completely now. That's just too long to wait. I admire your patience. Jandrusrn, Congrats on your eggs starting to pip!!! Did your lecture work? My lecture sure didn't. I set up a webcam to watch them. One hatched at 5:30 pm and the other hatched between 11-6...

I have one chick out. She hatched at 5:30pm, around 1-2 hours into day 21. The other two that made it to lockdown are pipped. However, I'm really worried about the one. I don't remember ever being this worried about one, so I think it may have passes on. I've been watching it for any signs...

If it's been 48 hours, I would definitely try helping it out a little. Start by peeling just the eggshell away, leaving the membrane. If you're careful, it's possible. You can also look at the membrane to see if any veins are still active. I'd also use a damp paper towel to moisten the membrane...

Sometimes they just do that. I've had several pip in the "wrong" place, and all hatched just fine on their own. Very beautiful babies! I hope that curled foot fixes on its' own.

Good luck all! I put my eggs into lockdown today. Tossed "Ed", who had died about a week ago. So, I have three eggs in lockdown. I saw movement in two. The third egg is such a dark olive color that I've never seen much of anything in it, except I CAN see the air cell now, which I couldn't...

Oh, congratulations! I'm excited for you! My chicks are due to hatch late Tuesday/more like Wednesday. I'm going to talk to the teacher about coming in Monday to set everything up for hatching. I'm out of town Saturday, and the school is inaccessible Sunday. As it is, this is shaping...

I sure wish you lived closer. I actually sold a very pretty BLRW rooster on Saturday to someone who ate him later that night. I would've much preferred he go to a place where he would've lived. :( I also have seven more BLRW chicks in my living room, and some of them are bound to be roosters...

Omigosh, you really are an addict!!!! I really am not sure on the humidity question, jandrusrn. I'm sorry. I tend to use the dry hatch method, but I don't look at the air cell and adjust humidity. I just try to keep it around 35% for incubation, and then crank it up for lockdown. I candled...

Considering I have FOURTEEN CHICKS in my front room, and another 8 outside, and I only started this hatch as a favor to a friend, I shouldn't be disappointed mine isn't going that well. But, I have to admit I got excited over the idea of a couple coronation sussex. I guess I'll have to hatch...

I candled my eggs today. Only one of the four of my sussex eggs is definitely viable. One looks like it is an early quitter. I'm not quite ready to call it dead, but I'll be shocked if it hatches. The brown egg is good, the blue egg is good, and the olive egg is simply way too dark to see...

I'm going to candle my eggs tomorrow afternoon. I don't expect to see much in my olive egger; it's so dark. Hopefully I'll see all kinds of spiders in the others though.

I finally got my eggs set this afternoon- been so busy that I haven't had time to actually go pick up eggs. I set: 3 coronation sussex, 1 silver sussex, an olive egg, an ameraucana egg, and a darker brown egg that's either a cuckoo sussex or a welsummer mix.

Oh, I think I'll join! I'm planning to set eggs tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon. I'm also using a Brinsea mini advance. I'll be hatching these in a classroom for a friend of mine. I just completed a hatch in a neighboring class (BLRW, 7/7 hatched! ). Not sure what I'm going to set. A local...
