4 Rockers!!! Monday seems so close yet soooo far away!! Humidity spiked waaaaay up as soon as I added any water which is what I suspected but I wish I had added less, easier to add more than take water away!

That's so exciting!! Lockdown is tomorrow for us, and I just got so excited! My first hatch is almost underway!!
This is my utter inexperience talking, but I didn't know they start rocking so early! You'll have to update!!
 
I have 20 eggs incubating. They are on week 2. Should hatch early May. Humidity stays between 40-50%. Temp seems to fluctuate a bit but never goes below 90 unless the incubator is open too long when turning.

This is my first time hatching. I've candled some a few times and at leadt half seem to be developing.
 
Out of the last two babies out I finally got one that had Black Jack Randall as it's dad. Fingers crossed it's a girl! I thought there would be more since he was so persistent with the girls.

Here is Black Jack.

I forgot to take a good look at the comb so I don't know if the mom is the bantam Brahma or one of the bantam rocks. It has A LOT of leg feathering though, so I suspect the brahma.

What kind of incubator are you using, still-air, or circulated?

Good morning! My 22 April hatchers are doing well. I've set 76 eggs and will set 24 more tonight. (Oops- I bought too many.) Before I set them I'll go through my eggs to weed out the infertile ones. This is my first staggered hatch. I'll set up three different hatchers in mid May. Eep. :D
