Can't wait to start hatching soon! Anyone else with 10/14 hatch day?

Date sort Score sort
Such fun! I have put our last surviving eggs - all two of them- into lockdown today... Still working on getting the humidity high enough. The humidity in the room is relatively low and once the incubator warms it the hygrometer registers nothing

I am going to add water to another reservoir now and we'll see where we land up then. Right now it is at 52%. I am so happy for those of you who are already getting pips and hatches!! WOnderful time! DD is DYING for these two to hatch as one will hopefully be a replacement for her darling little d'Uccle who died earlier this summer in a very traumatic accident.
 
I go into lockdown tomorrow night! YIPEE!!!
I'm getting all excited... ready to hear those peeps!
time to scrub out the brooder!!!
(won't need it for a few days after the hatch... )
 
One orpington stayed clear since last time I candled so I tossed it tonight. Now I'm down to 8 orpingtons and 12 silkies - I'm still not sure that they are all good - but they aren't "bad" so they'll stay until after hatch.

I'm in LOCKDOWN! Now the real waiting begins

I have a pip! I have a pip! Hatchday isn't officially until tomorrow, and I know that this chick might not hatch today, but it's going to be so much fun checking the incubator all day today!
 
Two pips this morning, eggs are wiggling and an occasional tiny peep.
It's going to be an extremely exciting couple of days here!
 
I've got a rocker LOL

One of the orpingtons is moving around! Lots of loud chirps happening.

Now one of the Silkies has moved around - yeah! Another orpington has moved. Oh good - hopeful we might get a few chicks!
