Hatching eggs

[JoeQ]

You r soposed to do that at day 18 but it's probably to late now.

Too late as in I ruined the batch, or as in too late to start the egg turner and just see what happens? Thanks for your help in tryitto figure this out with me! What a great group of people!!

I read somewhere on here to turn off turner at day sixteen and up humidity a bit! Should I restart it for a couple days? Hope I didn’t kill them, they are moving around a bit! HELP!!!!!!

Here’s what I have on mine today. Little small chips in shell. Had chips/pipe for up to 8 hours before broke its way through. Good luck!

Too late for this batch, but I always candle at lockdown to remove any blanks.

This will let you know after dried and fluffed up what temperature they need to maintain. I lost one because I didn’t make sure was at 95-100 degrees.
I used a digital thermo gun to keep check for stable temps.
Hope this helps as the others hatch and you move to another container.

At what point does he need food and water? he does not appear dry yet so i don't want to remove her yet

They're SO CUTE
