In lock down!

Super excited! I've got 14 eggs that should hatch Sunday or Monday. I've got my syrofoam incy running at around 72% humidity. Hopefully all goes well. I can't wait, and neither can my daughters.

Pictures to come.

I'm going into lockdown this evening, perhaps this should be our weekend hatch thread.

That sounds great! Good luck to you both. I'm hatching 14 Buckeye eggs. We'll see how many make it.

On day 18 you up the humidity to 65% or so and don't lift the lid till day 21.

thanks, so I should take the egg turner out first them right??

Yes, take the whole thing out and set your eggs in an egg carton with the bottoms cut off, and some of the top. Essentially, you just want enough of a framework to hold the eggs upright for hatching.
