27 Buff Orp eggs set....due Halloween....BOO

[CK Chickadilly]

Haha....I went & looked again too! I must be loosing my mind!

I had to proof my DH's paper he had to write for his class he is taking & I don't think I really read a word of it....it kind of went in one brain cell & out the other....

I need to get to sleep, I am so tired from all the worry! Glad to have friends in this too!

Talk about worry...I bought a new bator (so I'll have a hatcher too) and this is my first time using it! And the thermometer they sent was like 4 degrees off...good thing I checked it! On the plus side, it does have a turner, which is going to be really nice since there are 40 eggs in it. Oh, did I mention there are quail eggs in my "hatcher" incubator.

Oh, gosh, I could only pray to have a perfect hatch the very first time to do this. That is a funny thought though, let's see, there is boo, ghostie, goblin, .................... the possibilities are endless................

Hold....on.....must.....go....check.....temp/hum......

... everything is just fine. 99.1 and 54% humidity. That is fine, right?

 

[hatchaholic]

You know what...I think it all depends on who you ask about the humidity. I've read everything from 25% to 55%.....I guess we'll all figure out what is best for us with practice.

Mine is at 34% right now and between 99.5 and 100.

Well, I set eggs yesterday, too, but I am having a staggered hatch. I have some due to hatch October 27, some due to hatch on Halloween.

Good luck everyone!!
