February 2017 Hatch-a-long

[orrpeople]

Went to bed with 6 pips. Woke up at 3:30a. Of course I'd have to get up to check the incubator!

Baby number one (F3 Olive Egger)

I can only imagine how excited and relieved you were to see that little one!!! Hurrah!! High-five from Redding, CA!!

Relieved is an understatement! I think I've got about 7 more pipping. Not sure. Some are barely cracked and haven't changed much at all, some are changing fast!

Sleepless night for sure! Went to bed around 1/1:30. Woke up at 3:30! LOL I thought I was done with the "sleeplessness due to baby" stage at my age!!!!

Got an incubator full (or will this evening). I close on my new place with 20 acres in a few days (provided the FHA people get their feet out of their mouths and get everything approved in time...) Their's no stopping me now-BWAHAHAHA!!!!

Anyhow..... got 10 Red Bourbon turkey eggs, some of my runner duck eggs ( to sell), some of my Isbar eggs (need more than 1 girl, and my first hatch of her eggs was all boys, naturally), some bantam chocolate English Orpington, some serama eggs, and some Cornish cross eggs on the way.

I foresee a LOT of coop building in my future. Good thing everyone can stay in the barn for now.

That is so exciting! I am very jealous and have my fingers crossed for you

Lol I was the same way last year when I hatches going on! Luckily so far this year for my one hatch all hatching has occurred during the day!

Lol. Yeah, I already asked my mom, it was a very firm no go.

Don't know how I would do it with swim team anyway...You can found where folks have done it and made threads about it on here.

How do they not break the eggs when they sleep??

That is what I wonder, but I am a side/stomach sleeper so it definitely wouldn't work. Maybe they sleep in a recliner for three weeks lol

Question. I've got 5 hatched chicks. Humidity is now up to 78%. Is this ok?
