Perhaps if there's NO life at all I can send you these ones I have???

That is if the auction doesn't go well, otherwise, I'll be putting them in my bator..

I kinda had my suspicions before today. She's just much smaller than Rixe. About an hour ago she decided to let us know for sure!!

LOL so what's HER name? When do their voices change usually? Mine quacks like crazy already but she's only 5 days old. Definitely not raspy like the adult boys at all. It's just like my adult girls only quieter lol. Hoping she will keep it because I really want her to be a "her"

I may have some more early hatchers again. I can already see a couple of the babies right at the top of the air space, trying to pip internally just like my first little one. They keep pushing the membrane up into the air space where I can see it. The others look like they're right on schedule. Turning stops tonight at day 22 so they can get into position. I will turn them once more when I get home tonight and then that's it Soon my little Lily will have friends

I've found about a month before you hear a definite quack. Boys a little longer to know for sure. Rixe and Lance are only hours apart and he's still peeping. I think also that you tend to not notice so much with the boys at first.
I don't usually change names if they aren't right. She can be Miss Lance now. And I've discovered the best way to get a girl is to give it a boys name

I have a Styrofoam incubator and a turner. The eggs go in with the fat ends up. It shifts them side to side, keeping the air sacs facing up. I found a few sites recommending this for shipped eggs. The air sacs were kind of wobbly. I that is called a" loose air sac". I culled the ones that were completely detached before I set them. temp. is 99, humidity is 50. I can see movement in all 7 eggs. One of the air sacs does not seem to be decreasing as it should. This is day 19. The thermometer and humidity Gage are at the same level as the eggs.

I have another incubator set up for lock down set at 96.6. Should I lay them flat, or in a little cup with the fat end pointed slightly up? I know the temp is a little low but I didn't mess with anymore to avoid temp swings.

Thanks for checking all this! I hope I am at least close in this!
