11Days Till Hatch Day!
There were a lot of posts about removing eggs but also a bunch about finding that the ones that looked like clears earlier were now developing!

Sally Sunshine has a lot of CPL, DMRippy and Duramax chicks drying off after hatch. Nice pictures

There was a Humidity question from cochins1088. Eggs seemed to be developing air sacs at different rates. Several said to keep the Humidity in the 30% range.
CelticOaks was the target of FB lies!

There were a lot of Horse pictures from TMNfarm(See, I gave them a trophy at the top of the page). The family competes! Some of them win too!

We are almost convinced that we want horses now too! . TMNfarm is lucky because his Dad found a shorted circuit that could have caused a fire. We are thankful too!

Post 4617 has a video of the rescued Ducks

kari, The internal temp of the eggs probably didn't get down to 85.........

that they are all good!!

I think they are! I did a quick candle and saw good movement. I think they'll be OK.

Wonderful news!!!

DON'T WORRY I WON'T TOUCH THEM!! **CHICK UPDATE**

So far I have:

6 of 10 externally pipped

1 is currently zipping (I think)

There is peeping here and there but I can't tell from who. The massive load of TJ eggs I had went into a hatcher at my neighbor's house, all went accept 5 I kept to make my personal batch of 10 eggs. He says they are all pipping fine over there but I have not gone down to see them.

I will keep checking everyone until I see what they look like.

Sally! That is not an IV bag. I have a big home brew (beer making) setup in my garage and this is an extra piece from my filter buckets. I usually keep a bunch of spare bits clean and on hand. In this case I wanted to be sure I could add water without opening the incubator. Works great!

LOL!!!!!

One duckling is out. Pictures to come later.
