Day 6 ( couldn't wait another day) and I have 6/8 developing. Pretty impressive considering the travelled for five days across the country.

Wow, that is good. 5 days! What are they?
 
I haven't heard back. I haven't specifically asked for replacement yet. I don't want to run the incubator again until Spring 2016. If 8/9 would be reasonable expectation for fertile eggs then she would be replacing 4 eggs. I just don't know what to ask for. I'm down to 3/15 eggs from the shipment from TX and they were the oozers. I don't know if it's reasonable to ask for anything from her either. The clears are all local pick-up. I traveled 45 minutes to get them. Ugh. Just ugh. :(


Tao chick, I've been following your issues and am heartily sick for you... if you don't want to try again til Spring, all good, but I will send you a good asst of eggs... don't have all the same ones that you were hoping from this hatch, but I do have many of them and others too... send me a PM and will work out best time for you...
And I'm seriously not joking... ask @chicapee if you have any doubts... :)

Another true BYC..er.

 
aww, they are cuties!   So, small eggs in the bator.  Do you use less humidity for the smaller eggs, even during lock down? 

So far I just keep it at 38-40 percent for humidity. It seems to be working good.for lockdown I will most likely bring it up to 60-70 percent.
 
Thank you, all... Thank you! :love
Sally, how'd the dr appt go?
I'll update more tomorrow.
I can't thank you enough. I'm going to make it through this hatch because of y'all.

Sounds good. For my little silkie eggs I go for the mid 30% too. Then for lock down, I actually keep it around 55 to 60. Silkies are different though, some of them have high vaults, they have a hard time turning when they should, so, they pip, and drown at the wrong end, if I have it any higher. The less humidity seems to work for them. On my regular..LF eggs, I use 60 to 62% for lock down. Sure hope this new bator works with that..haven't tried it yet with this one. I have several very pretty EE eggs! Some are F1 OE's. Pretty excited. Will be candling tomorrow night.

Well good luck with those eggs in the bator. Do you think my humidity is going to be to high during lockdown?
