Yep. She said the glass is fogging up. Is this ok?

she can open it to let some moisture escape then replace quickly, I even have to wipe the plastic windows off really quick if a ton hatch at once.

Missnu01- they are cute little fuzzies!!

Thank you. We're all feeling pretty proud of ourselves.
They're looking great today running around eating and drinking. I'm so happy it went so well. I mean wow. I never thought they would all hatch.

Sally must have lost her internet again....storms-
i have heard them say that the humidity will go up during hatch, that is the best I know. I would just have her watch for any moisture dripping. Sally should be back soon

Quote: That's awesome that they all hatched, I guess I missed it, what breed are they? They sure are cute!!

Quote: I knew that would happen, I type tooo slowly

 

[chicknfun]

Quote: Why does the humidity level go up so high during hatching? Is it because the eggs release their own moisture too? I don't want to sound stupid, just don't know yet

The guy I got the eggs from had a Black Copper Marans rooster and a Blue Copper Marans rooster in with all kinds of hens. Wyandotte, Orpington, Sussex, Barnevelder, EE, Olive Eggers. Barred Rock, and Partridge Rocks, and I don't know what all...
All the chicks are either black, gray, or silver, black and white. One will be partridge I think, or is partridge right now anyway...Lol.
