April-May 2017 hatch-a-long

Here are my babies that hatched a little over a week ago. I have a stomper! Not sure what that means, but it looks up at DH and stomps it's little foot! Love these chicks!

That is too cute!!

Do you have a separate incubator? If not I would recommend put a wet paper towel around the egg, but make sure that the rest of the eggs don't get too humid.

I don't have another incubator so I will try your way

Yes I agree with you and I am not sure if it will hatch on the 29th or earlier I am hoping it will hatch on the 29th

I have been working on it to go down but I have to turn it off for a few seconds to make the temp go down not sure how to change the settings on the incubator

Ok so here is what I have found, On lockdown do not wra[p paper around cause it could cause it to become chilled so leave the humidity at around 45-50% but when it starts pipping put some vaseline or coconut oil on the membrane (membrane is the white stuff under the shell).

OK will do that
