February Hatch-A-Long

[JoJoM]

My eggs are at day 13 and I just candled and think 5 out of 10 have stopped moving . I'm going to keep them in there and check again at day 18 and fingers crossed it's just due to a dark shell. The others still look good. I have a cheap Chinese incubator and have been having a hell of a time maintaining the humidity so. Temperature has been steady though. Maybe I've been handling them too much??

I don't think handling too much could be it as long as your hands are clean when you do it. I handle my eggs quite frequently and don't worry about humidity until day 18 when I lock them down. Then I put the humidity up to 35-40 and they bring it up the rest of the way as they start to hatch.

I started a hatch in my new NR360 this afternoon. I’m hoping all goes well. 10 EE and 12 assorted others all bred by my EE, Rusty. BO, SLW, & Brahma

I think future hatches are hinging on how well this one goes. I’ll still hatch but the frequency is yet to be determined. I might turn into a Hatch-a-Holic!
