I have 3 BBS Orp Eggs and 4 Swedish Flower hens in lockdown since Tuesday night. I was just cleaning out my other hatcher (eggs are in another hatcher right next to it) and I heard chirping!!! No pips yet but at least I know someone has internally pipped.

Yes, do more.    If you are close by me I would give you some eggs! 

I live in maine but thank you

this is the themometer that came with the bator


the hydrometer that i got from walmart...if i'm reading correctly the humidity is 38%, so is the high/low ok or do i need to try to readjust them? The temps are reading pretty close to each other...so the temp is good right?

the temp went a littel wacky cause i opened the bator to get a good pic...what's your thoughts?

these are the eggs i'm fixing to set once the bator is good to go!

Thanks!!!

Doesnt look like it was 99.5.Looks like 95? that is a little too low.Humidity sounds perfect. You need the temp as close to 99.5 as possible 99.5-100

Wow Cool ..come on chicks!

egg #1 (big bator) is doing the same thing one of my ch orp chicks did last weekend. instead of zipping it's just making a big hole. and now I have 2 more eggs with tiny pips (small bator) I guess my duck eggs will have to miss a couple of hand turnings- but they are in the auto turner so not like they are just sitting still.

this is when I first saw the pip- boy what a surprise

SUPER CHICK!

Ok the eggs went in. Humidity is 55-60%, temp is 99.5-100. Not huge fluctuations in either, has held steady for hrs now. Set 25 eggs! Here goes nothin!

Congrats to everyones hatches!!

thank you Brooks

I needed just that little nudge of hope today....

I went outside and changed the bedding in the coop and got this face from my almost 22 week old BR lady...




and my day got a little better.

FUNNY LOOK!!!
