Yay! Can't wait to see pics. I ended up with 12 or the 15 fertile eggs hatching. I still have the incubator on just in case, but it's so quiet in there that I don't think I will have anymore hatch.
Hi Kassaundra,
You go into lockdown today. How exciting! Did you get to candle your eggs before lockdown? How many eggs do you have going into lockdown? Are you using the Brinsea for lockdown?
How exciting Kassaundra. Please keep us posted. We had to sell all of our chickens a while ago due to an emergency trip to Florida and not finding chicken sitters, so now we are starting from scratch. :(
Thank you Jim. Yes, I was trembling and arguing back and forth with myself if I should...
I had one chick hatch out yesterday after my last post. There were a couple of eggs with pips. I went to bed and woke up to a bator with five chicks. Yay! A few hours later we had two more hatch out. I had to take out the first five because they were harassing the last two. My son and I...
I agree. I have a styro bators I use as a hatcher, but only use my brinsea for incubating. It's simple to use and I get an excellent hatch rate with it.

And in NO WAY would I ever think you were being a smarty for helping me. I appreciate all of the advice. Thank you.
Oh poor baby. I'm glad it was a happy ending. Thank you for the advice. I was wondering what I would do when it came down to removing some of the chicks to make room for the new hatchlings. I was thinking of adding hot water with a syringe through the straw, but I like the toilet paper trick...
