Good morning, Café. Boys won a squeaker of a game last night 2/1. Grandson did a really good job pitching. A couple of bad calls at first base, and a couple of errors cost them the run and almost the game.

Morning! Sour, glad the boys won their close game!
It rained buckets yesterday and heavy rain for today out of the thunderstorms. We had a couple of close lightning strikes which knocked the power out for a few hours, just in time for me to go get a pizza for dinner at a local joint. Have a great day!

Good morning Cafe. I had a guinea pip last night, so i need to check if it got out or needs help.

It is possible! The room needs to stay at a stable temperature and the vent from the AC should not hit the incubator. Being near windows is also not good. Temperature fluctuation can cause the average temperature during incubation- the first 18 days- to be out of range.

Humidity was 30 to 35%? Lockown should be 65 to 70%

I have an open kitchen / Dining area the incubator is in the dining room. The problem I think is that while DH is working AC is set to 80 deg for my comfort. It begins to cool for him about 5:00 pm ish. Then it goes down to 74. I notice the more the AC runs the more often I need to add water.
Dry humidity runs between 23 and 32 %. I just have a half of sponge in the incubator for moisture and use turkey Bastos to refresh it when humidity drops. It has been staying 28 to 40 % so I may have to conclude that I cannot incubate during DH AC months

However out of 6 eggs 1 made it to lockdown today.

Thanks, the baby guinea was shrink wrapped, so i helped it out. I hope it doesn't have feet issues. I already had to give one the boot treatment.

Did you still have eggs in the gator when you opened it to help the chick?

Yes, but it is getting to be late on this hatch. And it was a quick grab the egg and shut the bator.
