Day 18.....Lockdown

[Lyrika]

Look what I have! I just locked down last night. Heard cheeping. This morning this little one was there!

Congrats!

Here's some pics of my hatch.






Araucana hatching


All dried off

I have no idea what colours the araucanas are, but they're beautiful.

Snow Barn mom, any more new chicks. This little yellow one is so cute!

Yes! Omg! I've had 4 hatch since I posted that! And one more is making quick work!

But my humidity spiked to 80%!!! I opened a vent hole, but don't want to loose heat. I'm worried. Advice? Please and thank you!

It's okay, it's just spiking due to the wet chicks. Open the vent holes though, as the chicks will need plenty of oxygen. The heat won't drop that much.

I recall the humidity rising when each chick hatched until the water evaporated off the wet chicks. After the chicks were mostly dry the fogged up viewing area cleared up as the moisture escaped. I recall it looking like a terrarium in there for a while!

Hi, my name is SBM, and I'm addicted to hatching

I'm up to 6!

I have a batch of 6 that are at day twelve, my last hatch only got two. I am hoping this time around will be different.

Candled all 21 eggs last night, looked like 5 were gone, took them out and did eggtopsies, 4 were dead and one was starting to rot, the fifth sadly wasnt dead until of course I opened it up... I had marked some of the eggs to mark growth at the pointy end and this one hadn't filled in any more hence my decision to remove it... It was further along then the other four...Although sad that I killed it , it actually gave me hope for the remaining 16 in the incubator that they will hopefully hatch..

Wont candle again til Friday or Saturday.. ( Tomorrow is day 21)
