I have a pip! I have a pip! I have a pip!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH

Does anyone know how to find the spreadsheet that we are supposed to fill out? I just can't find it!

All have hatched. 6 out of 10.

I'm trying to find out what happened to this. My google doc for this was taken down somehow I think this is one of the BYC contest I will check it out. I still have babies hatching can't tell, that is why I didn't participate in the first to hatch. I woke up with a headache (not due to drinking) blood pressure is a little elevated. I will try to see if I can get things straight for everyone on these contest. I'm glad everyone is having a great time.

Be back after a bit.

I can't believe some of you are -22! i've never experienced anything below 0. I am dying because its 39 and snow on the ground. But i'm also sick. I need to go to ER but then i'd have to bundle up the kids, dress myself and go to an ER that its probably packed because its NYD.

My humidity is holding steady at 62%... Is that a good level?? Does it ned to be higher?? I've had one egg pipped since 4 AM (it is 10 here now), and it hasn't made any progress... I now have 7 out of 31 that are pipped. They seem to punch the hole and then nothing else happens... I still hear cheeping. Not sure which eggs it is coming from, though...

If you have to go, you have to go..no one to watch the wee ones? Wish I was closer, I'd watch them, or take you all! Go if you can..maybe they can determine it's bacterial, and you can get some anti-biotic!

Perfect level! And, remember, when they sit there like that for a while, they are absorbing that yolk. Then they get on the ball!

I am now officially in lock down..lol...I set them in the late morning, but this is close enough. Getting my humidity up more now. I got it up closer to 40 last night.

Man, there is a lot of flu going around. I hope everyone can get through it sooner than later if you have it. My DH and I got the flu shot..now crossing fingers that it works for what's going around.

Perfect level!

Thank you!!! This is my first incubator hatch, and I'm very nervous... I set 45 and 31 of them made it to lockdown! I would be heartbroken to lose the all now!
