Fair question!

Yes, they can get air in there. I've hatched various reptiles and even reared some queen bees in this incubator.

Hi

Congratulations on your new little babies!

Up to 6 completely out and another zipped. I had 21 eggs that I kept out of an original 30 that were shipped. One was cracked, a few were either bad or infertile, and I had sacrificed 3 during the process just to see what was going on and to double check what I thought I was seeing while candling.

Fingers crossed!

Seven out. They've slowed down. Hopefully they're not done but I guess time will tell!

So I joined recently. I'm trying some ebay "A&M" eggs. Mainly was doing this as a test run for other potential future incubations.

This evening will be the true beginning of day 17, but I just happened to check right as this one was coming out.

I imagine getting them out is just the beginning of the battle, but hopefully I'll have some survive!

That was a great video.
