BYC's 13th Annual New Year's Day Hatch-Along - 2022

[gimmie birdies]

When I was waiting for pips, I put on reading glasses and used a flashlight to shine through the window of the incubator looking at each egg.

I'll so be doing the same thing.

@Chookwagn
Do you have any hatching yet????

I sure do a bator full of floof and more to come

 

[berkebelle]

Do you hear cheeping yet?

No, natta. I candled them when I put them in off the turner. All of them had movement.

I have too much floof from previous hatches between the sections of my bator lid! I can't even check for pips or squeaks without breaking the seal, which drops the humidity from 70 to 30%ish and defeats the purpose of lockdown IMO

I'll start checking on a 12 hour schedule tomorrow morning and move any fluffed-out, recovered-from-the-ordeal hatchlings to the brooder, and update y'all then. Best wishes!

I have movement and cheeping from one of my eggs! Still no pips, but at least I'm getting a little evidence of action now.

 

[AUChickenGal]

My cheeping egg has pipped, but in the wrong location. I flipped it over for better monitoring; no action from the other three yet.
