APRIL Hatch a long ......Anyone?

My chicks are starting to come early (Day 19) here, I use a Little Giant Still Air Incubator and they always start hatching earlier. So far I have 2 out and 1 more pipping; I started with 20 eggs and all 20 went into lock down! These are Barnyard Mixes and pictures will be posted when I move them out of the incubator to the brooder.

Philyaw539 that's great! I have the little giant still air incubator also. Didn't have such a great result. Started out with 18 eggs and after 10th day 4 wasn't good. 2 died zipping. 5 hatched, one pipping and 7 not doing anything. I had trouble with humidity, couldn't get high enough for the lockdown. Now I'm on day 22 , this is my first hatch!

Well here they are! Hope you like and I didn't share too many.

Cute!! And such clear pics!

Well all three of my eggs that went into lockdown hatched! This is by far the smallest amount I've had go into lockdown but I'm happy with 100% hatch rate, lol. I think all three might be girls, and I'm really happy about that since I've been hatching mostly boys so far this year!

My next hatch will be on the 16th and I think I have over 20 in that set. I'm finally figuring out humidity so my hatch rates are going up! Yay!

Quote: Wow, Kassaundra. I only had four out of eight alive when I went in to assist and I wanted another pair of hands! Fingers crossed for your icu chicks!

I just went and checked on everyone, I have 14 in the brooder, I lost count, it changed so many times today. And looks like 3 in icu are rallying.

Yay for the rallying chicks! When do you consider a chick "out of the woods"?

My first night seemed to go okay temp wise, but I can't seem to keep the humidity up. I soaked the sponge in the bottom with about 1 litre of water and the hygro hasn't even moved. I'm worried that one night of bad humidity can wreck the entire hatch.

If I'm like this over chicks, I'm going to be a very big worrier when it comes to my own kids when they come along!


EDIT: Nevermind, In my sleepy state I forgot to put the sponge back in, I should never try to do some things after just waking up.
