Question. Slipping into Day 21 in a matter of hours, WHAT IF, there is hope for the Lone Ranger and the little fella hatches tonight with no one around.
The heat is at 101. The humidity is at 71%.
Will he/she be harmed with such high temp and humidity?
He is tasting OXYGEN. The incubator has worked! Miss Prissy you're the best!
Sorry for the extra excitement folks. This is my first ever egg, and theres only one! The only survivor. And he's pipping!
The crack is small! Is it too small? Is he tired? Is he weak? He doesnt need help right? He hasnt chirped but I have seen his push. What if its dry? too tough? ARGH!!!
This kind of excitement is the best! It could take him all day. Sit on your hands! Keep the bator closed so the envrionment is perfect for it to hatch into. It will sleep off and on as it works it way out.
When it is out and has had time to dry you can move it to your brooder - nice warm brooder 95 degrees with chick starter food crumbles and water. It will sleep alot. May not eat or drink much the first day or two but I always make sure it is there.
