Hi all,
We are currently on day 27, after our last hatch (where I learnt lots - thanks Iain) I have had this batch in the brinsea oct 20 and have been spraying from early on and turning top / bottom once manually a day (the bator also has automatic turn)
Out of the 6 eggs that were put in 5 were fertile and we seems to still have movement today when I stopped turning.
I have moved them from the Oct 20 to a Brinsea Polyhatch now we no longer need to turn them, the polyhatch seems to hold the humidity better than the oct 20!
I have just candled them before moving and we already have 2 internally pipped but I last candled them on Thur pm and non had pipped so i suspect they have only just done it, 4 out of the 5 eggs are rocking.
I've just re read petes sticky, would I be right in saying it is now lockdown keeping humidity at 75% and drop the temp to 36.5
I assisted Boo boo & Baba last time, Boo boo lasted 3 days but Baba didn't make it past 8hrs :0(.
So hopefully this time we have a better chance, its all a learing curve but this learning curve can be very upsetting!
Thanks in advance, Hatty
