Thanks for all the help everyone!! She has really started to break out. She has about a half inch crack now. We see her beak poking out. This is so EXCITING!! She will be alone for a while, since nobody else is trying...lol

zipper to chick!! sweeet!!

A generator is on my list to purchase before I do a winter hatch again. I know I did the best I could and I'm so happy with the ones that made it ♡

Egg up date I had the second one hatch about an hour ago n drying off in the Bator the next two are due the first so we will wait and see but for know I'm just glad I have two very healthy chicks

oh wonky air cells stink! and then trying to keep an average humidity for both sets of eggs, your all over the place on them too. Good luck! I just love that mind reader bator, its so pretty! is it turning the eggs good?

All the eggs in the R-com were set last Saturday and the eggs in the mind reader were set two weeks ago. But yeah, the air cells from the shipped eggs are all over the place! I am going to go by the four from my birds and the two that are not saddle shaped. Humidity is 40%. I will take a new picture when I re-arrange them tonight and mark cells so you can see what they've done in a week.

The mind reader is sort of fun. I didn't hook up the actual turner. I rotate the top around a few times a day and that makes the eggs roll. Just seemed kind of rough for Serama eggs to turn them too much that way with the turner motor. Seemed more gentle to do it by hand. It's holding at about 40% humidity also.

remember 3x hand turning a day is just a min. try to do as much as u can and gently as you can as well.
you know what I suggest lol a coolerbator!

yeah I saw that one and a couple others, will see if I can get my dad or my friend to make it as me and power tools don't get along lol. was pretty upset loosing the hatch at lock down, stopped turning them at day 13 as per recommendation from here that does have a good hatch rate in the LG this time we didn't have any early quitters either. and helped instead of majority that made it to lock down only had 2 that were malpositioned this time.

Thinking might just make a box one and put screen on the top and a lid so they can just hatch and brood in it after the incubation

Holy mackerel! I take the day to clean the barn and move hay and bedding, and this thread goes back to hatching, tips, tricks, and assists! Who would have thunk it?

Congrats Jessiesmom and Speney! Enjoy the new fuzzy butts!

See you all in a couple. I'm headed back out to dig up a waterer in this chitty weather. Popped an elbow or cracked one under ground below the waterer off the main line. Got to get it fixed before the hard freeze and snow. Ughhhh, I'll be muddy wet and frozen here in a bit. Might take some fireball with me. LOL
