So, I started with three frizzle bantam eggs and only one is still alive. This is my first time hatching and wow its been a lot of ups downs and learning by failing. I used a homemade incubator and after losing a few early on I finally got things sorted out. That being said, temp fluctuations happened often with the weather getting warmer but our nights still dipped below freezing. My house has no temp control ( awesome) so I was always tweaking to keep it steady. Thankfully I work from home and am a hermit so I was here to do it.,. Then of course I found out later that still airs needed to be a bit warmer. So, I quickly did a float test on my last one today and it took about 10 seconds but he bobbed around for me. I am at 101 or so and humidity is 70 to 75. I dont hear any peeping or see any shaking of the egg in the incubator, is this normal for day 23? I keep reading people hear peeping and see shaking and im worried because im not.
I know im being a nervous nelly but I originally did this so my grand daudghter could see and now im just really rooting for this little guys. Its been just me and him for the last week. If he hatches im going to get him a friend so he wint be alone. I get really attatched lol.
