i am hatching on the 11th also and i keep thinking i am hearing things

 

[Bec]

You probably are!! Mine are getting loud in there! Like they are irritated with being in their shells! "Geeze, would somebody let me outta here already!!"

 

[WhoaNellie]

How are things going Bec? Have any babies yet? Have you torn your hair out yet?

 

[Bec]

Things are good right now, no babies yet but still the 2 pips and lots of peeping!!! I have the temp at 99.6 and the humidity at 64%. If it can just stay like this, it would be perfect!!!


How's everything on your end?

Happy to hear about all the newcomers! My bator is very noisy as well. I will have leave mine, as I am going to spend tonight, and tomorrow with my sibling. Hopefully daddy can handle the incubator. (He actually went and checked up on them today, of course his excuess was that they had to hatch first if he was ever going to get to eat them

)

I'm still waiting patiently.

If only you all knew how bad I am at patience. LOL

My house is freezing right now. The weather has been beautiful so we let the fire go out in the boiler (we heat with a wood burning boiler that circulates hot water into the furnace). Of course, now the water temperature is so low it'd take forever to heat back up and it snowed this morning. When I got home from work, my temperature in the incubator was only 98.6 so I've kicked up the heat in the incubator and put an electric heater in the bedroom (where the incubator is).

I'm not expecting any babies until Sunday so I refuse to obsess too much right now.

mine are due to hatch the 11th as well. I dont' hear anything

This is my first hatch and I just know something is going to go wrong.

 

[WhoaNellie]

lilblessings, don't worry. Something will happen. I swear to you, I did this very same thing my last hatch. Everyone else was pipping on day 19 and I was SURE that I would get nothing. You still have two more days. Please don't get yourself upset like I did.

Did you candle before you went into lockdown?

I tried candling a couple different times. My eggs are Maran and so dark I couldn't see anything. THen On day 10 I noticed one was cracked pretty good- so I took it out and opened it up and sure enough there was the start of a chick
