#3 hatched and soon, I'll take those two and put them with the baby in the brooder. So many are pipped and now are being rolled around a bit, so can't say for certain how many. Can't see pips on the two Orps yet, but hey, they're Orps and usually fashionably late.

Hi Cynthia, I know this has probably been asked a bunch of times but I am wondering how you manage to not have the other eggs shrink wrap if you open the incubator during hatch.
If I do it even for a moment, nothing can get out after that. I have tried spraying with warm water in the bator but I never have any luck.
We are very dry here but I still don't understand how some manage to sneak them out and others can't.

Hmmm maybe if I took the whole incubator into a steamy bathroom...really I wonder if that would work?

I don't open the bator unless the humidity is up into the mid-70's, usually. And DH and I work as a team so we can snatch a baby out in a couple seconds. It's way more humid here in GA than where you are, though at the moment, it's about 40% in the air. Will be juicier as Hurricane Ida's rain makes it here tonight.


BTW, #4 just hatched.

Come on babies! Right on time, too!

Hope they ALL hatch quickly, so you can get some sleep tonight, Cyn!

Best wishes, and

good hatching vibes to ya!

Thanks, Kathy. I hope they hurry up. Had to get up earlier than usual here today. Very stressful day. This is the fun part, but I'm already yawning.

Yay, more babies!

Thank you Cynthia. Do you have a hurricane coming your way or just it's rain?
