AmyLynn is right I have a youtube clip I load on my phone and set it my incubator once in awhile during the hatch to encourage the little guys to hatch. I always see a noticeable difference in activity when i play it.

My hatch finished up late last night. Pipping started on day 20 and last egg complete on 21. Of the 48 eggs I started with 30 made it to lock down. Of those 20 hatched. Of the unhatched eggs, 2 had pipped internally and all of the others looked like they died around day 18. I was really nervous about doing the eggtopsy but if I was doing something wrong I did not want to repeat it.

67% hatch rate is pretty good I think. I am very pleased! I think my success had to do with a couple of things. First my incubator was rock steady with both temp and humidity. I never had to adjust anything other than the humidity for lockdown. Second, I would like to thank AmyLynn2374 for all of your suggestions and help with my humidity. If it were not for you I probably would not have tried the dry method. I am now a true believer and will incubate this way from now on... which as it turns out will be tomorrow!

After my last egg hatched yesterday I made arrangements to pick up 2 dozen Frizzles and 10 Marans! I will also be adding 4 of my own Blue Laced Red Wyandots! Dear God, I am addicted!!!!

All it takes is one successfull hatch and it's total addiction. lol I am so glad you had a decent hatch, and I hope the next is even better!!! Eventually I'd like to add a couple frizzle/sizzles, just because I love the ones that look odd...lol
