Help........I'm screwing up my hatch!

[peeppeeppeep]

I think if you have vent thingies you can take open the little holes up for an hour or two and that will let some moisture out.

I already removed the 2 plugs over the vents. Seems to be helping.

Great news, can't loose a hatching buddy this late in the game, I can almost here the chirps

Here's a pic of my one born Sunday (only one I set and it hatched!!!)

That chick is totally adorable!!! What breed is it?

Humidity is now down to 74%, so I feel it's within manageable limits now.

Sounds good, glad you can kick back and relax,

I bought a mom on eggs, 1 is 3 weeks old then two born 2 days later then 1 2 days later then 1 another two days later, mom hatched those and then I got this one freshly laid to test my bator and it made it!!!

These are older adopted siblings!!!!!

Kick back, what's that?

I'm a wreck!!!! Temp still isn't back up to 101. I'm gonna be watching these SO CLOSELY for the next 3 days!

So much for sleep. Geesh, and I thought the first 18 days were stressful.

But it will be totally worth it if I get my babies.

I can't wait, I had a huge electric outage and everyone survived, so I know about stress, but soon enough we will celebrate with fuzzy butts!

dont adjust the temp, still air incubators take a while to come back up to temp. it sounds like your doing everything right. lock the door where your bator is and dont enter until day 21. l.o.l. just try to be calm, and remember incubating is addictive, once you catch it there is no cure, only to add more eggs........
