Being stubborn this time aren't they?

all 6 eggs have pip but my bator is going way down hill temps are 95.6 and humidity is 56% and none will go up so i'll try to update when i can because my PC isn't working at the moment and i will take pics as things go along i just need everyone to give me those awesome hatching vibes i need i hope all 6 hatch...

so i will try to get back on here tomorrow if not friday then

awh!!!! I hope they still hatch! I thikn they will, i'd throw some blankets on the top until they hatch fully...helped keep my temps up when they were staying so low (because the house was so cold and it worked). Just a thought.

*HATCHING VIIIIBES*!

whats the scoop on the eggs?

 

[BirdBoy88]

OMG!! i feel so stupid right now..ok all 6 pip but only 5 hatch so that means i have 100% fertility on my button eggs

ok member i said the temps wouldn't go up and i didn't know why and i kept turning the knob and the temps still wouldn't go up...

well the other day on day 19 i was about to toss all the eggs but then when i pick them up i could feel the chicks still moving in them even though the eggs are ice cold to the touch..well i look at my bator again and i notice i was turning the knob the wrong way the whole time LOL i was turning it to make the temps go down instead of up...i felt so stupid so i turn the knob ( right) this time and the temps went up and within 5mins after the temps went up 5 eggs hatch but the 6th died from my stupidity

i will post pics as soon as i can of the chicks

i have 5 healthy grandbuttons though
