Candled tonight, removed the chocolate quitter and a bbs, they were very evident at this point. Still rocking it out with 2 chocolate and 5 bbs along with 12 of my blue and blacks. All in all quite happy

Very confident I saw one of the araucana wriggle when I was covering the incubatorjust a few moments ago.

Hey everyone! Please excuse my absence as I’ve been going through some sh*t lately. I just put my eggs on lockdown last night and am hoping for 2 BBS to hatch by Friday or Saturday.

I'm hoping there's more than that.

I'm hoping for some babies when I get home. I took the turner out last minute this morning and I'm hoping I didn't screw things up by doing that. Usually I keep it in so that they can't jostle eggs as much, but with me being gone for work today, I didn't want someone getting stuck and breaking a leg.

I'm also still struggling with humidity being high enough now. It was fine the first two weeks, but the last week has been plummeting in the day while I'm gone.

I filled both wells and have the shirt over most of the incubator (to keep them in a darker space mostly), so now I'm just hoping that I don't come home to it running at 22 or 98% humidity

I have never had a chick break their leg on the turner in the NR360. It's off.

I've had a couple get their leg stuck and then start panicking. Usually I'm able to hurry up and fix it, but I didn't want to risk it while being gone most of the day.

I had 5 eggs left in the incubator…3 BBS and 2 Chocolate. I took out one of the BBS eggs that had quit for sure and the chocolate eggs looked like they had quit as well but I left them in there just in case. I’m only expecting the 2 BBS to hatch.

Meh. If they are that dumb, I'm not a proponent of reverse Darwinism...survival of the most idiotic. Still, I've never had one get stuck. Not that there is any room for them to get a leg under it with the grippy shelf liner I use.
