So last night before I go to bed, I notice that both of my digital hydrometers are off by 5%. One said 70% and the other said 65%. I went to bed somewhat concerned thinking that there was an issue with the humidity.
Sure enough, 6am this morning, and my wife tells me that there is one chick hatching. By the time I’m up and dressed, there were 8 more hopping all over the place with more starting to pip. In addition to the eggs that were shipped, I decided to put one of my eggs into the incubator. The roo is my daughters, and my 6yo son was happy to announce that it was starting to hatch as we were all ready to head out the door.
My 16yo daughter was home, and reported that before she had to leave to babysit for a neighbor, there were 16 chicks all jumping over each other in the middle of the incubator. This evening should be a fun one!
