It's day 22 on the silkies and day 20 on the ameraucanas. One of the silkie eggs was peeping the other night before the temp spike. I don't have any pips or rocking or anything. I candled all of them when I saw the temp that high, I figured it wouldn't hurt to have it open a while to cool it off. I didn't see any movement in the silkies. Like I said with the ameraucanas, I can't see in them much at all anyway, other than to see whether or not they have developed. So hopefully they didn't die as well, though it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

I think I have 4 more days Minny is still only getting up once a day to eat drink and poop... goodness such devotion...I dont know if we will have any pips cause I cant tell from candling even looking at all the pics that have been on BYC I am unsure practicly holding my breath...I am so stressed with waiting...

What is your humidity at willow?

I have a pip on one of my blue ameracaunas eggs from DDD!!!

The silkies are all dead, they should have hatched 2 days ago and nothing. But good thing I didn't kill all the eggs in there!!

Ok just a hairline pip in my maran eggs. Kinda sad about these cause I think I messed up with everything.

My 2 mixed banty eggs have pips and one is zipping!

PLease everyone send prayers or cross your fingers and toes in my direction. I really want some marans!!!!!!

The humidity is at 60, I keep adding water but the air is so dry here I think I am fighting a losing battle. I still only have the 2 pips, I think I robably did alot of them in with the 109 temp spike. I hope these 2 make it out, keeping fingers crossed.

Take some warm, wet paper towels and drop them in. They will bring the humidity up real high, real fast. You should try for 70%, but 60 isn't that bad.

1 is zipping and now I have a new pip yeah! So 1 zipping 2 pipping now.

Mine are in the hatcher - now I'm just twiddling my thumbs for the next couple of days...

5/5 that developed were still moving. I hope a couple of them are pure millie eggs. I need more henny pennies.

Everyone chant with me now NO MORE ROOSTERS! NO MORE ROOSTERS!
