Then the third would be day 1.
I always mis-count!
Doesn't matter too much when you remove turner and up the humidity, depending on air cell size.....did you trace them during the incubation?

I weighed them. So here are the results from today. Lots of infertile, including my super blue

Range is at a loss of 11-13% by day 18. Of course it's day 18.5...

Well, I know of one cute bird that surely did not get frostbitten.

Do you mean the salmon faverolle or the polish?

I weighed them.

Yeah, I can't tell from that....always went by the visual tracing to decide whether to up humidity when turner was taken out or wait until first pip

So can you go by what the 18th day is supposed to look like or do you have to go by the difference between 7, 14, and 18?

And is lockdown supposed to be the beginning of day 18 or the beginning of day 19? Not sure why I can't figure that out

If I go by weights, the seem to be on par, or close enough I'd think. I've read on darker shelled eggs to use a different humidity, but people hatch mixed batches all the time... Can't be too critical?

The Polish or course!

 

[LaFleche]

Lots of infertile, including my super blue

Oh noooo

 

[Meg-in-MT]

The Polish or course!

Of course! She's a goofy bird!

Oh noooo

I know, bummer. I should've filled the incubator like my husband told me Probably should've checked fertility, too, but was too excited! Ah well, first one and all that.

Don't worry so much, it will spoil all the fun!

And it does not really matter whether it is day 18 or 18,5, the important thing is to take out the turner and up the humidity to 60%.

As soon as the first chick hatches, the humidity will skyrocket anyway.
