I got the new heat bulb in place! Whew!

I think I did good at keeping the inside of the incubator warm, so I feel pretty confident now.

Oh, how I really want them to hatch! I am missing a Christmas outing going on in the community for this!!! AHH! Oh well, this will be by far better than the Christmas thing when they hatch!!! I have a spark of hope.

3D it should be okay! I've had this happen before, we lost power right before lockdown, and it was summer so it was about 95 outside of the incubator.. I thought all was lost but amazingly I got 19 out of 24 to hatch!

Chicknlove, thank you! the 3rd egg is now in the process of zipping and I'm expecting it to hatch by tomorrow evening .

Group 2 eggs that were due the 20th have internally pipped. Idk what's up with this insane early hatching..

Looks like a 100% hatch tho!!

Here is a pic since they've dried out, now they're fluffy!

I put 4 in my homemade incubator about 12 days ago. One turned out to be a dud, nothing inside it. So I got rid of that one. The other three seem to be doing well. I just candled them minutes ago and I saw the chick move in one, it moved its wing, or what looked like its wing. I hope they stay alive to till hatching. My first time ever doing this and I am so excited. It is neat to be able to do this. My nephews live next door and when they start to hatch I am going to go get them to watch.


Update: All three hatched fine. All were ok when I went to bed yesterday. But when I woke up this morning, the first one that hatched was laying there and wouldn't pick its head up. Its feet were under it but it couldn't get its head up. It looked like it was breathing heavy and I put it under a seperate heat lamp and a few minutes later it looked like it had a seizer and died.
Poor thing, it was so cute. The other two are still fine and it looks like they are progressing well, walking around and get up immediately when I speak to them or put my hand in the box.
