is it pipped? As long as it's got air, it should hatch.

Watch the assisted hatching videos/walk throughs. If it doesn't get out in an hour or two, you can help it.

I would charge them for your time. A day off costs me money, I don't know about you. Besides it is the principle of it especially if you have waited a long time and had to reschedule.

They say I dont have to be home and just have the area marked but I dont like anyone on my property without me there. I do agree they shoud do something for my inconvenience-maybe paint it for me or add some windows or something..... It's just that I am looking at surgery on my hand now, lots of Dr apt and work around all of that. at least let me pick a day that is good for me!!

There is a great notes section at the beginning of the thread. Feel free to ask more questions, or just vent as you deal with the waiting.

Mornin, I did. Figured I'd try my hand at something other than horses.

Custom coffee. And it looks good.

That is the same brand, mine is a little different though. It has incubation days, time until turn, temp and humidity monitors all on the front.

 

[chickmama22]

I think you said you have the humidity set does it have a automatic humidifier?

Yes it does. Ive been fighting it the last 2 days to get the humidity down. Placed a sock with rice in it last night and a dry cloth in the bottom (After I wiped away all the obvious moisture), its still hanging out at 55-60%!

My 3/26 and 4/2 chicks still are not laying so I feel your pain.

Morning Dax
Starting to feel better about mine. The 5-28 & 6-2 have started this week only a couple but it's a start.
