I heard chirping this morning!!! I'm so excited, but am at work, so will have the kids update me on progress today

Good luck!!!

Lockdown is today for my first 5! I'm keeping part of the egg turner in there and taking out all, but 2 racks. Then I don't need to open and turn the eggs! I'll put a divider in the middle and make sure my humidity stays at 60%. The other 12 should survive!

I can't wait to see pics of your new babies! Good luck!

My humidity has remained consistent since I locked down until this morning. Of course we've had cooler temps the last two days

Hoping it will regulate itself back up today.

I hope your staggered hatches are a great success too!

Here we go! Lockdown started. I couldn't remove the egg trays from the egg turner, so I went to plan b. I have a wire barrier so the chicks can not contaminate the cooking eggs.

The whole thing

We finally have a baby!!!!! My daughter just sent me this pic.



No signs of hatching in any of the other eggs yet

I know, I'm not very patient, ha ha!

Congratulations! I'm 3 days behind you. I started lockdown a few minutes ago.

Lockdown humidity is not an easy task.
