First Time Egg Candler Scared!

Oh, I forgot, you have the Octagon 20. The power outage won't kill them, but they may be behind. Like Amy said, you can candle them, but I don't. With the power outage and possible low temp, you could be looking at a day 22 or 23 hatch, but chances are the chicks are healthy. What day are you on, and what was your humidity for the first 18 days?

I am on day 20 and my humidity was 38 to 43 the first 18 days. It is very humid in south mississippI so only added small amounts of water every 4 days or so.

That's a pretty good humidity level. I run dry and run 30-35% usually. I monitor my air cells to be sure though.

That's perfect in your brinsea. I would expect most will hatch on day 22. If so, bump up to 100.0 for the next go around

It's aBrinsea. As long as it's plugged in 85% of the eggs will hatch

Awe. cutie. He has something to say and going to make sure you listen!!


How'd it go? No bullying??

I THINK it's a little easier when you have groups you are combining (safety in numbers type thing). If it doesn't go well can you put a screen divider between the two groups so they can see each other and get used to each other w/o physical contact? Just a thought.

No bullying!
