Incubator loaded for First Time

[MDBird]

The second batch went on lockdown last night. I tried a dry incubation this time and currently have the humidity around 60%. I candled the eggs before taking them out of the turner and from what I could tell all 38 eggs were developing. Started to see pips tonight and getting more excited. Hope to have a good hatch rate but also nervous about having more chicks then before. Of course they have to make it out first.

Haha of course the schedule would work out like that. Are you going to setup your camera or come home to surprise?

So when I went down to check on things this afternoon I found one chick out and another coming out. I was pretty surprised lol I feel like these two are early if I go by my previous hatching timeline. I started the eggs Sep 26 at 7 pm. Hopefully plenty of chicks to come.
