Awww. So cute and super jealous. I'm coming up on day 21 (Friday at 6am) and not one single peep or pip from any of my 28 eggs.

Welcome to BYC. Have you read the Maine thread yet? I'm in the Bangor area, and have been having a hard time keeping my humidity stable with this hatch. I normally burn wood, but not so much with this hatch, and we've had so much rainy weather, I don't know how to react, and often over-react. My air cells are too small, with hatch due next Wednesday. So, I'm running dry, most likely until lock down.Down to 26 eggs. One of the two we cracked last night was basically yolk and bacterial? snot and the other had grown some but died in shell a couple of days ago. Put the survivors all in lockdown this morning, but I had quite a bit of trouble getting the humidity up during the day. I filled all four troughs and stuck in two sponges and finally am at 67%. Stupid Maine dry weather. I'll probably overshoot the 75% when it finally rests, but I have yet to pull out the red button thingies.
No noise yet, but I'm not sure I'd be able to with the Styrofoam incubator. I keep going into my incubator room and watching the eggs hoping for movement or pipping or cheeping.
Congrats to you!!!Day 20 update.. Two pips when I came home from work today at 300, one has hatched! But..he's still attached to shell & there's a fingernail sized yellowish gray thing at the end of it. I didn't see my last (3) hatch...is this ok? He seems pretty vigorous.
UPDATE - He's free!
Thank you very much! It's only my second hatch, it's very exciting.Welcome to BYC. Have you read the Maine thread yet?
