My two little hatchlings.

They look great!

Two is good because if only one hatches, it will be lonely and sad.

Quick question for those who use the brinsea ecoglow 20 egg incubator...
The local school wanted some of my eggs to hatch for their science class and ehen i went to set them with the teacher yesterday, 4 dutch eggs and 4 sizzles. We cut some styrofoam to put on either side of the eggs o the wouldnt fall. And a bit of papertowel inbetween each egg since they were right against eachother.

Now i dont use this kind of incubator, so i was wondering if this is a correct way of setting eggs? I could see if i could get oics if you would like smile.png

A quick hatch story! I put all my eggs into lock down, which is a separate incubator as I do staggered hatches and unfortunately had to leave town for a few days....I came home to a bunch of hatching and chirpy chicks....then I went to check my eggs in the other incubator and sitting inside with the egg turner on and a bunch of eggs was a perfect fluffy chick! I must have forgotten one egg on lock down day. That chick hatched with the egg turner moving every 2 hours and 25% humidity.

I have had this happen before.

The first ones seem to do fine at a lower humidity.

My name is Rusty. Had my first batch in the incubator for 5 days now. Already have 29 chickens. I hope this doesn't become a problem with me. Lol
