Day 20 and I hear cheeping

She’s out. Had a wee run round and is now resting. Her feet are perfect! I am glad I helped her. The other eggs are showing no signs yet.

That was great fun. I came late to the party and it was like watching a marathon of my favorite TV show! I'm so glad the hatching is going so well. Have never done this myself, so I'm anxious to read every detail. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

They seem to be cuddling together. I will leave them just now to get fully dry and move then later.
I need to get out the house. Now I’m worried there eyes are closed It’s maybe just as well this book came today

They’re both fluffy and very active so I’ve popped them under their Brinsea 600 brooder plate. Both curled up in a ball together and i hear lots of little happy cheeps. As I removed my wee rescue chick I saw eggNo 3 has pipped. I am not touching or opening anything now! This is her in picture no 2. I was worried she wasn’t opening her eyes earlier but she’s fine. I will try introducing them to the water later on once they’ve settled in.

Congratulations!
You opening the incubator with that big humidity in you house didn't hurt a thing.

What can hurt is having too high humidity in your bator...you don't want it above 80% ever.

It is about 70-75% I had to open it slightly to allow it to settle
This morning as it shot right up, I had used warm water, got such a shock. But it sorted out pretty quickly. I feel less tense about opening the incubator now I realise the humidity is as high outside as inside. What I do feel is maybe I shouldn’t have moved it’s position.but I’m an over thinker always looking for reasons
