Actually, I thought the whole thing had gone bust. But when I went in the shop tonight I heard cheepin from the 'bator.
Lo and behold, pips were a breakin' out. It was then I realized I was a week off on my times - how did I space that one out?!
I had just been keeping the humidity good and the temp stable and everything generally hunky-dory in the bator. However, it seems I had jumped ahead in my own fervid little mind and so thought the hatch was a week late, a dud.
Actually, I was right on time. See what going on vacation will do to you?!
Well, that and not writing anything down when the eggs were set....
Ive hatched so much over the last few years that I got slack and didnt keep any written record of this hatch. Next time I won't be so cavalier about it all.
When I inspected them at mid hatch, they all looked viable, so we'll see what we get tomorrow.
