Day 19!!!!

[tripleee]

Hi everyone! I am attempting my second hatch of the year and am hoping for better luck. First round I had 24 eggs with 4 not making it to lockdown. Then things went sideways and I ended up with 2 chicks hatching on day 21 as planned, and 2 more on day 24 and the rest never hatched. So I have fiddled around with temp and humidity and am hoping for much better results. This time around my temp has been at 38C with humidity at 40-45 (worried now that it was too high but we will see I guess :/ ). Went into lock down with 10 healthy active babies out of 12. 2 were infertile so out of the fertile eggs we are sitting at 100% so I am hoping so dang hard they make it.

SHE IS STARTING TO ZIPPER!!! How long before they are out normally after they start to zipper? I have a camera on her so I can watch from work but I am hoping I will make it home in time. But watching her as I type this I am 99% sure she will be out in an hour
