Just be a quick as you can

This cheat sheet is great.

I'm sure you'll get chicks this time, but next time print this out and save it. I give this link to everyone

Thank you for your help. I hope they hatch, I've been so stressed making sure I did everything right. If it doesn't work out, I'll just try again.

I wish I could help you but I'm only on day 21 and STRESSED!

i have a 1588 hovabator (which i love) and i filled an extra trough this time around and my humidity was at 72%. so instead of trying to suck some water out, i just put a small object (very small) in the lid to pop the lid just a crack and now the humidity has been around 67%. you could maybe try that.

I thought about that...sooo glad to hear it can work. I thinks I'll try it, this hatching eggs thing is intense!

 

[wolftracks]

OK so how did it go?

Just got home from work...day 22 only one pip. Is this normal? There are 20 eggs....I feel like a bad mommy.

 

[wolftracks]

Yes it's normal.

I have a hatch due today. I hear one peeping, but no pips yet. Only 6 made it to lockdown. I need these guys to hatch quick so I can put more in. I have pheasant eggs to lock down and I've never hatched them out before. Afraid the chicks will play pinball if I put those tiny eggs in there with them. LOL

Keep us up to date on your hatch.

I'm sure you'll have better luck than me! I haven't heard anything...what does that mean?
