Setting up the hatcher tonight. I feel like that is where everything crashed and burned last time. Last time, I took the turner out and upped the humidity in the incubator. Time before, I had a second bator set up as a hatcher and did OK, not great, but ok. So, I'm going back to what worked. I really want this to work this go around. I have a staggered hatch with 4 sets of eggs: 6 barnyard mixes, 12 SFH, 3 duck eggs and 16 cochins and Seramas. Kinda stressing me out. Someone compared this to pregnancy; I never found pregnancy stressful or anything to worry about (if I had a question, I called my midwife, and I don't have mine in the hospital, so I don't have that to worry about). But this worries me, probably because I can't control much other than temp (I had zero problems with that in my LG, in the basement) and humidity (which is giving me fits, having stayed around 30% the whole time).
I have 5 paint Silkie eggs that should hatch on the 20/21st they go on lock down tomorrow night. They are my first try since having a horrible hatch a few months ago ( my first in about 9 yrs.) These are pullet eggs. All look like they are developing well . NO idea how a Paint to Paint breeding is going to turn out.
. Roxanne - hatch day for you?
