Early pip

[Nancy Asselin]

day #19 morning and I have a pip hole already, and I can hear peeping! My first hatch so I'm overthinking everything lol
Is this ok? I wanted to add water as humidity is down to 63%

It is OK but apparently your temps have been high throughout (regardless of what the incubator says).
63% is OK if that is accurate.

Thx... And on day 19, this is ok?

Yeah, it is OK, It just means the embryo developed much faster due to higher temperatures. What may not be OK is if the high temperature negatively affected other embryos, lowering your overall hatch rate.

Not only is it OK, but there isn't anything you can do to turn back the clock at this point. What is done is done. It is coming no matter what you do. Just keep humidity up and hopefully not too many were negatively affected by the heat.

Update: hatch is over... Got 11/14 eggs and my slowpoke took 36 hours to finally hatch!
