Stopped back in, took a bath & when I came out another chick has hatched. I think this one is a boy. 2 down 13 to go lol. Thank God for sleep meds, these things need to hurry up & hatch though. Hubs & I are headed out of town tomorrow & I found out he purchased a mower deck that we have to pick up on the way down. So what started out as leaving in the evening has turned into sometime during the day. Gotta get theses babies hatched & into the brooder. Not certain my daughter would be super attentive to chicks still hatching. Just dawned on me too that I have 3 other Bator's running that the humidity needs to be monitored & a little bit of water added once in a while. We won't be back until Sat. night argh....

best of luck maybe leave a small list of instructions and a honey please watch list ??
 
My humidity was under 25 percent so I a little water. It's now been at 45 percent for several hours. Have I already killed the babies?
Red NC has pretty high humidity most of the year doesn't it? If so I would stick to doing a dry hatch (humidity level around 25%) My house is running pretty high on humidity right now so when I add water it usually isn't more than a 1 to 1 1/2 tsp at a time. Yours is apt to hold humidity longer too because your hatching in a still air. No fan blowing around drying up the water faster.
