Yeah I live by the advice section I still haven't figured it out but there's still no smell so I'm waiting. I'll be candling again this weekend. who knows I might find something there. Maybe a chick! Let's hope. I have no expectations after the major faure that was my last hatch. It was my first.

Don't feel bad, my 1st hatch attempt produced nothing as well. I couldn't get the humidity and temperature stable in the Farm Innovators Styrofoam incubator I started out with. I have since given it to a friend and am happy with my brinseas. Hope all works out for you.

OMG! Hatching has started! One little porcelain d'Uccle out so far, lots of pips.

lockdown tomorrow, i'm so nervous!!!

i still don't feel like I have a real idea of the temperature. 4 different thermometers = 4 different readings. Ugh! Humidity has been predictable which I've been happy about.

When I go into lockdown I think I might try to insert a tube so I can keep the water flow option open if the humidity drops. Has anyone else done that? What did you use to make it? I don't think I have anything handy, argh!

I have a chick that's pipped and is trying to hatch! First ever. Wish us luck!
