Well, I was gonna wait till this morning as its still only day 19 to put my chick eggs in lockdown. The little chirper that was maing noise last night HATCHED this morning before I left!!!!!! What an early little bird OMG!!! She hatched in 35%humidity perfectly fine! There are 5 other pips now! I move the not ready eggs to the other incubator and raised the humidity now to 58%. The chicks never dry when its at 70% humidity and its WAY more messy! S now I have 10 jb coturnix running about and a chickie from my california white hen probably covered by my big buff roo. She has earned the name Early Bird

I wished that I had a 2nd incubator. I never plan on hatching more than a few at a time, but it would be nice to be able to allow the babies to dry out in a different incubator.
