Agreed. I waited 12-20 hours and opened the air cells further. Good thing I did too.

I chucked my last 2 eggs, which I thought were duds. One was, but the other was another fully developed chick, dried... That sucks.

What's your humidity at? I have had the best luck with 75% or so...during hatching...

After I saw them drying up, I added more water. It was around 78-80 when they hatched. A little high, but I didn't know what to do...

Oh, okay. My ducks have hatched at 85% before...

I am really sorry you had trouble with these guys. Sorry about the dried up one. I hope all the rest of the babies are doing alright?

He looks like he has long hair? How adorable!!!!!!!!! No clue what he is though!!!

I'm so sorry Shellie about your last chicks.

I had one more hatch this morning but I had to help him/her out a bit. I decided to check the last 2 eggs, well one was fully formed but hadn't absorbed the yolk sack and the other one must have died around day 19 or so cause he was breech and didn't have any feathers covering his brain area and yolk sack was not absorbed either.

So now we have 13 babies out of 17, not a bad hatch for the first time I guess

I've got 19 eggs lined up from my girls that I so want to put in the bator tonight, I miss the hum of that thing!

I guess I'll wait until I collect the eggs from my girls tomorrow and than off we go again.

I think we all did pretty good!!!!! I know it is going to be hard to watch them leave, shellie!!!! They are beautiful. I am already excited about your new hatch mamaboyd!!! I almost broke down and got mixed eggs so I could start hatching again immediately but I WANT some BLRW!!!!! BADDDDDDDD

My dream chickies.

 

[mamaboyd]

What are BLRW's?? I'm so lost when it comes to different breeds

How long do you have to wait until you get your eggs? I wanted to start the bator up again tonight, but hubby said wait until we collect a few more eggs. This is too addicting
