Nice!

Humidity might be too high if there is condensation on the top of the incubator

It's only at 62%, the humidity is perfectly fine

I value your opinion, but these are twins that probably will need assistance with hatching. I'd like to give them a fighting chance and not just give up on them.

For the double yolked egg, you will likely need to help. Poking the holes will make them stick faster. Safety holes is a fad in incubating and will go away as it becomes apparent that it is not a good or necessary thing to do.

Where do you see this in any University or other professional hatching guide? Someone on BYC made it up and it makes me sad to see it.

If you see condensation inside an incubator, humidity is closer to 90%. Hopefully you do not have condensation! If so and the hygrometer says 62%, It might be reading wrong.

Best wishes for your hatch!

My hygrometer and incubator are both reading the same at 62%. I think it's based on the humidity and temp in my house as well. Thank you for your help

Good morning everyone. Raining this morning, they say 3 to 4 inches before it ends!

Seems like you've had a lot of rain this year Cap (or do I say that every year?).

We had none all summer, now we are getting it inches at a time. Just too much. Last year we had twice the normal amount!

Maybe next year it will be just right

I'm in VA too but I'm near Richmond.

Colonel Harland David Sanders or any part of it Son and I worked that up

Ha, I like that! Maybe Colonel

Handsome boy Meg! Your post reminded me of a movie called The Quiet Man, the main character was named Sean Thornton and was played by John Wayne.

I'm not sure if I've seen that one. We always watched old westerns with Pa when we were kids. The Duke, perhaps?

You need to buy him a razor. He needs a shave even more then I do.

Don't ya love that beard? So fluffy

Morning Cafe!

Meg, nice looking boy. Best of luck at the doctor's, hope they can tell you what's going on.

IM, I remember that movie...good name suggestion.

Sean, enjoy the blue skies and sunshine. That sounds lovely!

Thanks, Debby, Tonya and Sour!

Unfortunately, no luck yet. He said he's stumped. No injury or fracture, no spurs, no joint ruptures. So, you know what he did? Sent me off for a blood draw! I think you all know how I feel about the needles...Lucky for me, this gal got it the first time (first time ever!) Phew! Checking for Rheumatoid Arthritis and some other things. Hopefully not, but should know something today/tomorrow.

Meg, that sounds like what caused me to go to the doctor last week. Maybe living at high altitudes and cold temps is the cause and we all need to migrate south?

Wow, that is wild, isn't it? Did you get any answers? Migration sounds good right about now. It was -8° this morning
