I can unnerstand why you wouldn't want to live with Abi. Who wants to live in a root cellar the rest of their life?

Too crowded over Sally's way. She's coming here!

I sorta dug out, and I'm back on the porch now with a beanbag chair and a smoothie.

Naw, you don't mine have been in the basement for a week and the WWD has no idea..........She would scream at me to get them out of the house if she knew....

Wife was watching the NN hatch. Thought they were really cool. But wait what are all those other eggs she asked. Yea time to get them out. Brooder is ready just have to finish the hatch.

I'll try and get some pictures tonight.

I'm leaning towards hand turning on their sides. I'm just too worried the string that holds the rack up could snap and then BAM a buncha scrambled eggs is all I have. Also, I'll have heat sink rocks so hopefully opening the lid won't change much. Thanks for the input!

hand turning is gentler, and yeah dont want them to fall out

@BantyChooks I think I found you:

ummmmmmm...........

NN are from Murray McMurray. The cross of the the green egg is Trader Joe's hen and CCL rooster over the NN rooster. All four of the green eggs hatched early.

13 out so far with more pipping.

awesome! where are our pictures???

do you have kids or grandkids you can blame for putting the "other" eggs in there? Neighbor kids work too.

Ok so humidity for the first 18 days should be like 35 to 45% and like 55 to 65 for lock down is that right

I have eggs moved into the hatcher, BUT I think I moved them a day early. It is possible they do not hatch until Sunday. Oh well, they will do fine......


I thought I put them in the incubator on Friday or New years eve day. my thoughts area little fuzzy from that time period...... When I candled them they look a little underdeveloped...

Good thing turning is more crucial in beginning than end. I dare not move them for fear of dropping them. 100% made it from incubator to hatcher without bouncing off the Cement, so I had to chance it again.
