any advice for me hatching on the 21st

Good luck and know that it may take longer so don't get discouraged if nothing happens on that date. I am on day 23 and have one hatched, 1 pipped, 1 zipped and 1 chirping inside. So it can take longer than 21 days.

Do Not Open that incubator unless you absolutely have to!!!!!

You don't want to lose any humidity!


Good Luck!!!

and Happy Hatching!

p.s. and yes, don't worry if they don't hatch on day 21. I just hatched 7 this past weekend and they didn't start till the end of day 22!

I'm hatching either the 21-22!!! too!!! YEAH!!!!!

Remember the less you interfere the better you'll do!!!

I have half of my eggs under my first time broody orpingto and the rest(that wouldn't fit uder her...no matter how hard she tried to squeeze them...are in my bator in the kitchen!!! Most of my eggs are olive, blue, ad dark choc so I wasn't able to see a thing when I candled them...so it will be a total surprise how many hatch out!!!

Happy Hatching!!!

oh yeah..don't get "stuck" on the date...remember it takes usually 24 hours for most hatches...start to finish...and "due dates" are bogus!...It's just like pregnancy due dates!!!

My last hatch did start right o time though...so you never can tell!
