I think so! It's stayed pretty stable.

Hi, I also stabilised my temperature at 37.5 fluctuating .3. I had the temperature around 35.5 for 6 days. Do I need to adjust my estimated hatch day as I need to set my eggs at some point and don't want to drown my chicks before they hatch.

I candled my eggs as best I could and found development. I hope they did not die.

if temp was a little low might delay hatch for a couple of days.

development is a good sign.

Thank-you! That makes me feel better. I would be happy to have 1 live hatch at this point. Any more is a bonus

Well it's been about a week.

How are your incubators doing?

have you had a chance to candle eggs for development?

I candled mine tonight 7 out of 15 show there is something in the egg. Added water to both water reservoirs and put it in lock down. Now to see if I get some baby birds in the next 4 days.

I'm getting ready to set 150 bobwhite eggs tonight or Christmas morning

So we have Christmas day babies!!! So excited my first successful hatch. So three hatched this morning I left them all in the incubator all day because we had family to meet up with today in another city. Came home and no more have hatched but three others have piped. I pulled the three hatched ones and put them in the brooder. One has its egg shell still dragging behind him/her but thats ok I think. One of them seems to have a bigger head then the others, and over all is a bigger baby. He every once and a while will start pushing his head down to the point that it flips onto the ground almost trying to do a summer-salt. Is this a sign of anything or do you every once in awhile get a big headed dumb dumb?
