Humidity must've worked I HAVE A CHICK! *update 100%hatch !**

[Mom 2em All]

Mine is at 99.1, I would like it up one degree (just above the bottom of the eggs)..but I am NOT touching the control. Now if it will just hold there and NOT spike....

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Mine too! oh wait it went down 98.8 stupid thing!

 

[Vamp-A-Billy Princess]

we need to make beds by the incubators. Mine is in an unfinished bathroom. I have a blanket and pillow in here but the concrete floor is pretty uncomfortable and there's no light in here so I have to use the hallway light and keep the door open. I need to move a lamp in here tomorrow. Ooo! 100 and 69% hooray. I may sleep afterall. How's yours?

Vamp & Mom best of luck to both of you. Im headed off to bed. Saturdays are always busy cleaning pens in addition tomorrow we have a 4H bake sale.

 

[Vamp-A-Billy Princess]

Lucky you. I wish I could go to bed. My temp is either 95 or 107. Cant it just be normal. I am so tired.

 

[Their Other Mother]

I'm up with you watching mine too and waiting for my one little goose to hatch!

 

[Vamp-A-Billy Princess]

Cool a goose! I wouldnt mind getting one. My husband wants ducks. I already have too many chickens. I need to start building more on to my coop!

 

[Their Other Mother]

I have 11 duck eggs in another incubator, the one that spiked at 108 today! There are also 4 turkeys and 9 assorted chickens in that one, just until this silly goose hatches then I can seperate everyone. Hope they turn out ok. I'ts nice to know other people worry about their eggs. My kids think I'm crazy! I just tell them now they know how much I worry about them and they don't even notice!!

 

[Vamp-A-Billy Princess]

I think this is just as stressful and exciting as being pregnant without the weight gain! Love it.

 

[Mom 2em All]

Vamp-a-billy! Wake UP you are on the floor!

I just woke up to 98.8 temps so that probably means I will have to go to Day 22 for hatches and the anxiety of waiting will make me crazy(er).

It has to be that this incubator is on my kitchen table. The one with the automatic turner in my bedroom has kept a wonderful constant temperature and humidity. This one being used as the hatcher just fluctuates like crazy.
