First thread I read from beginning to end that was more than 3 pages...almost like watching a good movie! I hope the little hero makes it.

Yeah mine hatched and look like the one in the pic on this thread, Except mines yolk sac was almost fully absorbed. Its been 12 hours since it hatched, and its picking its head up a little more and proping itself, is it like this because its a shipped egg?

It hatched early though, 19 days I got told my temps where a little higher causing that

have you checked the accuracy of the thermometer, for some reason new hatchers, worry about the humidity, and assume the thermometer is accurate, most of the time it the thermometer is wrong

good luck,

I bought 4 thermometers before I figured out the correct Temp. All 4 were different!

The thermometer checks out with two other wet bulbs and a digital. I really didn't worry so much to much about humidity, just kept water in tubes. I incubated the last batch that this chick came out of at 99.5 which I know now is too low. Between that and shipped eggs =disasterous result!
