Sally, that was a beautiful video. Life coming into the world.
So sad right now, have been crying off and on all morning as I lost a friend last night. She was in church at an activity, went to sit down out in the foyer, and had a heart attack. Life, we never know. She was only 60. Going to be hard in church today. But will be there for sure, need to be there.

On a brighter note! I can't believe my little eggs go into lock down tomorrow night, officially Tues. but will have them set how I want them tomorrow night, and work on getting that humidity up on Tues. Then wait. I'm so happy that I have chicks coming soon.

I am so sorry Cynth

hugs my friend

and prayers for her family too

SALLY SUNSHINE,I read your page on hatching that was amazing,great job.That will help me so Mitch for this hatch,and future hatches to come.

oh good!

I moved 6 that were in air cells to ma hen, 2 were peeping in shell. Due dates are, Mon. Tue. and sat.

gimmie what is the green thing that looks like a chip clip? do you roll your eggs with it?

Cally and Gloria. Cally was asleep and looked like she was melting off her bed like a Dali clock, but woke up when I took the pic.
Britta took on a darker look when she dried. Not so blue now. Chub looking.

love your pics. look at that little stinker, playboy bunny wakin up!

Watching a video on YouTube from needmorechickens of a double yolk hatch, because I was curious. Cool stuff!

3. Movement - I NEED HELP WITH THIS AIR CELL!!!
It's quite wobbly, like it's unattached, but only on one side???? One half is very normal, the other takes a SEVERE dip when tilted, goes down almost half the egg. If I keep it directly upright, it does not dip very bad. HEEEEEELP!!! These pictures are all of the same egg (#3) HOW SHOULD I BE TURNING/RESTING THIS EGG? It was laying on it's side in the turner, should I put it back upright in the egg carton cup?? I need advice from you super experienced people! This is my most vigorous chick and I only have 2 for this breed!

wonder why you are getting these blood rings! uggggg and you are obviously doing good with that serama as you are, keep doing what you are dont change a thing keep humidity up in the serama .. I would keep humidity around 35- 38 on the ccl recandle 14

We've got some cheeping!

I keep hearing it, and thinking "where in the world is that coming from?" Only to go "Duh, they're on day 19, they've probably got internal pips now". And when I go cheep back at them, they are silent

AWESOME!!!!

Yes ants are really a menace here but we are stuck with them, what I do is leave the shell of the first hatched egg in the bator it attracts the ants then they leave the other eggs alone

oz put legs under his bator and then put round cereal bowls under the legs and fills with water to keep ants out. thats y I asked lol

Here is our baby in question. Tweaser at the pip revealed a crusty shrink wrapped ****** off chick. Warm towel and warm spray bottle released it to fluff up. Mistakes noted and will be corrected. Thanks!

@Brat Flock got an update for us?

Not sure why the blood rings happened. To be honest they were already present on day 6, I just wanted to make sure. So I can keep that crazy saddle cell on its side? I had put it back into one of the egg carton cups but can lay it back down too. What do you think? It's really wonky. (ignore the 3rd egg, it was the suspected blood ring that I couldn't bring myself to toss...juuust in case!)

lets ask @ozexpat ants in the bator..... your legs on the bator and bowls of water.... what did you do about the power cable Thanks!

The solution should be as simple as the legs... running the power cord through a bowl of water, too.

Well hubs ended up working by himself on the sliding door, I walked out!
you know how that goes, sometimes a voice gets raised and I need to walk.
So I decided to do something I shouldn't until I am better. use the backpack blower.
well, I know deep subject. I ended up falling three times, each time when I was
walking backwards of course. But I am still in once piece, No hospital trips.
And No divorce either win win.

but I must admit I am not ready for that crap.
