ariel, am so happy for you...finally..they do take their own time...I have a little giant incubator...not expensive..kept faithful temps/humidity all the way through...I wet/dry incubate.. (meaning do not add water after initial day 1)( this has worked for me in the past).all red plugs out..Day l - 99.5/38 -- 99.5 all the way to day 18 - day 18, took turner out, eggs in egg cartons, plugs IN. I never opened the bator day l-18...don't candle....they started hatching day 20 & 21 - have 13 chicks....all chicks are dry and in a box w/heat lamp...will leave bator connected until day 25...will let you know how it turns out....last 3 days temp 100/69 and 100/70 (ok because you want 60-75 last three days, so I am told) am delighted for I have 5 buff orpingtons and 8 blacks so far (astralorpe & barred rocks) It seems in the center row only 1 hatched and a small pip so far the side eggs hatched 12 out of 18...don't understand but am patient will wait to see what to-night and tomorrow bring.... can't wait to see how you all made out...I am sure an expensive bator will make all the difference but we do what we can do....pulling for you all...G

did you turn your shipped eggs at the start or wait 5 days then start to turn them,

 

[jengro65]

I let mine sit at room temp for about a day then in the incubator for 3 days before turning. I have a few weird shaped air cells but it didn't stop the chicks from developing.
