Hatch-Along - Eggs set in November, due December, anyone?

That sounds like a good plan, Ozexpat. I also live near the beach, but mine is a LOT different than yours. Right now, there are prolly ice- burgs floating around in the water right now! And in the summer it is sometimes too cold to swim in.

Oh, how I love this island!!!

I went to halifax to recruit nurses in Los Angeles - way back in 1990. The Maritimes is a beautiful area of the world. I was there in mid april. left my coat on a connecting flight into Toronto. **** near froze my comb off.

Yes, it can be quite cold in April. it is "officially spring" when it's June. LOL

I would freeze to death in that temperature!!!

for your hatch

ozexpat 64F is the temp I have inside my room where I'm keeping the hen with her 'cubs'... and btw they are very cute children

Hopefully they pip through the night. Tomorrow night, if they don't pip, I will candle them and see what's up. Hopefully I won't have to do that.

I am constantly cold in the winter here - and I have more than enough insulation. I prefer sweaty armpits over cold toes.

My kids are cute huh? Cant take credit for them, Antonia's mom birth died when she was four months and dad was a squatter with 4 other kids. Lorenzo's birth mom was a single girl who said yes to the wrong guy. We are over the moon that they came into our lives.

I can't stand to be drenched in sweat all the time- heat in the summer is enough warm for me! (Not that I like to get frostbite or freeze my feet off when I get out of bed in the morning either.

)

I still have no pips. I think I might do the water- dropping test or candle them. I feel so horrible.

Zero out of the nine are pipping or making sounds/movements. Do you think that they are possibly stuck in the shells and need my help??? The humidity through lockdown was around 30- 40 (dry hatch method) so this is my guess. They looked okay when I put them in lockdown on day 18. When should I intervene? There are 6 hours until day 22 is over.

I truly think they're dead.
