you are running that high?

It's running at about 45% right now on Day 2. I ran at 25% with my last two hatches and had 1/12 hatch. 6 of them were DIS at day 23. The eggtopsy on the last 4 showed fully developed chicks that didn't pip. In troubleshooting I know the temps were good for development. The one chick that survived was a little wet/sticky. In the experience of other Brabanter hatchers this has worked. They also keep the temps lower at lockdown and humidity at 60% or so -which I did not do. It's not the Sally way or really a lot of people's way, but after spending several hours of energy trying to hatch these guys and doing tons of research, including on the climate of the breed's originating country, I'm trying this. It's day 2, I candle on 5, 10, 18. I have plenty of opportunities to adjust. The eggs lost between 16-17% at my day 18 last hatch. The air cells were saddled and some were on the verge of too big. I'm not going to keep trying the same thing that wasn't working. If anyone else here has successfully hatched a clutch of Cream Brabanters please feel free to chime in.

Sorry if that is rude. I'm pre coffee on a Monday with 2 temper tantrums and unfinished homework already.

And if tomorrow never comes?

Will she know how much I loved her?

Ohhh. Nope!
 
We did not. Nor did we find her iPod, mind, sanity... She has lost her phone twice in the past week as well.

Well if you ever find your stuff can ya help me find my stuff? Of the things I've lost I think I miss my mind the most.

Yup yup.
