1st Lockdown...getting excited

[UndergroundQuailRoad]

I decided to start incubating some of the eggs my bobs have been laying, and broke down and bought a brinsea mini advance incubator. Today marks the start of lock down, so I am starting to get excited about the prospect of hatching chicks! So far I have had three infertiles and two blood rings. Hopefully the rest hatch healthy and happy.

Only time will tell! keep an eye on your humidity, i don't think those mini eco things hold much water, and i've heard of peoples humidity dropping rapid.

as long as it doesn't stay there to long you got nothing to worry about, GL with your bobs!

Update:

All 7 hatched yesterday and made it into the brooder safe and sound. The humidity held high and shot up with each hatching egg.

Thinks look good!
