Four running incubators, 2 tubs with chicks, 1 hatch finishing up, and another just starting.

Word.

Boyfriend opened the windows yesterday (it was a high of about 20) because of the ducks.

Why did I decide to hatch ducks in the middle of winter, again?

 

[LarryPQ]

Because you, like me, are bat-crap bonkers.

I suppose I can open the bator a smidgen to add water, no?

We leave for the beach today, the original plan was to take the incubator along -DH has car rigged so I can keep bator plugged in and riding on lap. As of yesterday, I convinced myself that it was in the best interest of all involved if the bator was a two hour ride away from me and therefor a lot less likely to get fiddled with. Now I'm back to plan 'A' as I just can't stand to not see them hatch. Arrrrgh!

Did any of the ones I sent you make it to lockdown?

I started with 33 eggs and I locked down 21 for sure good eggs (includes the 2 I cracked & waxed). As for the swap eggs, I still have 4, I think 1 is good and I'm still not 100% sure the other 3 are not good so no pitching 'em until the pipping & zipping is over.

Yes, 5 out of 9 eggs that you sent me. Hope I get some hatch.

The temp is 99.0 and humidity is 79 percent.
