IA (incubators anonymous) September Hatches?

I asked them if that meant I would be getting them Monday, their reply was that the PO has been delivering on Sundays to compete with Amazon, so I should be prepared, just in case, lol.

Mine either. I thought it’d be bad but I never did lockdown. I just took the autoturner out and put the others in egg cartons.

Thank you both! I don't feel so anxious now, lol!

It’ll be ok! Deep breaths and lots of coffee

Deep breaths, yes. Coffee? Maybe chamomile or lavender tea to calm me down, lol!

So smart!!! How did you handle humidity?

Well coffee calms me down.
I drink it year round.

I didn’t. I ran dry the entire time because of the rain. Even at lockdown I never added water. BUT humidity was high based on ACs. They never dipped (I candled a few that were hatching) and the chicks were pretty wet after hatching.

I usually have to add a bit of water to Banty eggs because they lose fast. And I usually add water for lockdown.

I checked my Day 20 eggs, some of the bantams are internally pipped! One of the quail chicks didn't make it. So sad. Hopefully we don't lose all the A&Ms.
