I posted this on the LG Thread but not many know....... so I am posting it here.
Ok I have something for the more expert hatchers out there I took some eggs a few days ago from my broody I had my daughter with me and I told her only take the ones we candled and that didn't have a date written on them cause the ones I candled looked to be on day 4 , only 2 eggs I didn't candle but still brought them in cause they didn't have a date on them so I knew I didn't put them under my broody hen.
Well today I was on the way to the restroom and I hear this chirp chirp chirp I had to freeze no way a chick could hatch, I didn't even add water in the wells, not 1 drop of water was in my LG incubator and on top of that this is the only one that didn't have a fan in it.
I was going to use it for lock down and switch the new eggs over to the turner as soon as I could.
Well there is a buff orpington chick completely out of its shell in my bator right now and another one is pipped.
How is this possible, i looked at the hygrometer it says 20% humidity inside .........?
Totally weird just when I thought I had everything figured out I am thrown for a loop!
