Hatch-Along - Setting eggs this weekend (Jan5/6) WHOS WITH ME!

[CamiLynn]

I went in to lockdown this morning and am hoping to get my humidity up a little bit by this evening. I left my eggs on their sides, since they have been in that position the whole incubation. Last candle all were good, but now the real show and tell begins. Not sure I will be able to contain my excitement if I see a pip! Lol

Good luck everyone and can't wait to hear and see the hatches! :-D

Ok, just want to make sure from you experienced hatchers: I put the eggies in on Sunday the 6th. Lockdown should be tonight, and chicks should start hatching on Saturday through Sunday. In theory of course, because I'm sure they won't be on time.

If you set on Sun 6th day one starts 24rs later and you count from their. So lockdown(day18) for you should be tomorrow(thurs) and hatch day(day21) should be Sun 27th.

Countdown on the Brinsea Mini Advance says 3 days, so it will quit autoturning tomorrow. I guess I'm kinda spoiled. I love this little hatcher. I don't have to do a thing but add water. Looks like a weekend hatch!

I'm currently collecting silkie eggs hoping to start another incubation shortly after I get these guys hatched and moved out.

So I guess since Gracie is doing the lockdown for us then we get to increase our own humidity with a couple of shots of favorite liquids???? Maybe that will help our nerves!

I'm so excited and nervous about this hatch. Lockdown officially starts Friday for me but I'm going to raise the humidity tomorrow night so I can get it evened out before it officially starts. I have to leave for work Friday night and I'll be gone until about 4am sunday morning

So I'm going to miss a huge portion of the hatch. I think I might have to tape it closed so Nobody tries to grad the chicks out when they hatch. I've warned everyone to not open it though, praying they listen. Ducklings will be here tomorrow or Friday. I cannot waiiitttt!! Good Luck everyone!!!

Huh. That's why I asked, because the hatching chart app said one day earlier for everything and it seemed wrong to me. Ok, so lockdown tomorrow night!
