For those of you having problems with keeping the humidity up try using an old t-shirt. Wet the T-shirt and put it in there all crumpled up. The surface area of the T-shirt is larger than the sponges and will create higher humidity.

I use legwarmers and small towels.

and to add to nervousness & anxiety of pending hatches - bad weather here severe thundertorms, Tornadoe warnings etc. What the $%^& am I going to do if we lose power!!!!!!!!

No really, what can I do if this happens at this point in the lockdown w/piping starting?

I went to Walmart and bought a power converter (inverter?) that plugs into the car lighter just in case something like this happens. I can plug the bator into the converter and it will run just fine. You have to make sure you get one that has enough power because they come in all different sizes.

HELLO my name is Roxanne And i am aHATCH A HOLIC. I need someone to ban me from Ebay hatching egg auctions, from BYC hatching eggs and any other hatching site. b/c although it will be getitng cold ...i was on them both and LOOKING today !!!
I dont know why but for the last month or 2 when thinking of ordering more i keep picturing Jim Carry in the movie The MASK when he says "Somebody STOP ME!!"Thats me.So i need someone to come break my fingers so i cant type on here or give me a lobotomy ....something!!Until spring anyway

Hi Roxanne. I am a hatch-a-holic also. I am seriously looking at getting at least 2 more hatches in. I really want Heritage RIR's and after only getting 1 from my last hatch I want more!!! My Barred Rocks have turned out to be 3 boys and 4 girls (1 of the girls is still questionable...lol.) I really wanted the BR's for their eggs and 3 or 4 girls is not going to cut it.

I have one inverter just to save me in case I loose power while incubating. Peace of mind for me.

I Know exacty how you feel. Said I wasn't going to get anymore during the winter BUT yes me too been looking the last couple of days. Figure if I find some right now, get shipped, should have just as these are finishing up hatching today through Wed.

P.S. did just take about an hour nap - 2 pips now, latest is one of 10 blk. australorps.
Plus - confirmations on 9 starter bantam cochins from two different breeders received today - should be here tomorrow. So, if all goes well with hatchings, shipped starters & existing chickens in 24hrs I will have gone from 32 to 57 chickens in, once again, 3 MONTHS! All in the age ranges of a day old to none over 5 months old!!!!!!!!!!

How exciting!!! This thread is really going to get rolling in the next couple of days.

By the way....I told a few days ago this was my last hatch of shipped eggs this year...and guess what??? I was wrong!!!!!... I won a swap and I am getting araucana eggs.

I only hope with the time it get less stressful. The incubation and hatching is great but also full of stress.
