🍁 September Hatch-a-Long 🍁

[1sellersrobe]

Just had 3 die This was my first hatch so it's very discouraging. 2 died in their shells after pipping and another died after popping its waste sack. Got it out of its shell but it only lasted a few hours.

I had to open the incubator to add water quickly and when I did I heard faint cheeping and the egg was moving slightly! Now to just wait for that external pip so I can remove the turner for the hatch.

I put these beauties in my two Kebbonixs incubators on September 4th! This is my first time hatching eggs and I'm SO NERVOUS and EXCITED at the same time! I am obsessively checking the incubators temperature and humidity. One of them dropped to 37% humidity overnight and I hope nothing bad happens! EEK! Anyway, I have Lavender Ameraucanas, Isabel Ameracaunas, Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers, Black Copper Marans and BIrchen Marans in this mix of 24 eggs.

HATCH DATE: SEPTEMBER 25th!!!!!

Air cells? I didn't even know about air cells!!!! Something else to worry about! Eek!

I have been stressing over these air cells all day and if it wasnt that I’m sure I would find something else to worry about

I've been obsessively checking the temperature and humidity levels. Before I found this thread, I posted in the Hatching Eggs thread--- someone said I need back up thermometers and hydrometers!!! Ack! Early this morning when I woke up the humidity was at only 37% and I panicked but, someone replied saying that was ok and they keep their humidity at 25-35% until Day 18.

I have 3 thermometers and 2 hygrometers and the humidity has been at 40 - 45% but I wish I had it lower as my air cells aren’t where they should be I’m the same! I must check the humidity and temp 50 times a day
