Update on the eggs ? I set mine on lockdown a day early cause they usually hatch a day early anyway

HIyeee!!

Eggs went into lockdown around 2PM yesterday, as that would make them fully 18 days old. Today at 2PM was day 19. Got the humidity up into the mid to high 60s, but it keeps dropping down, even though I've put 2 wet sponges inside the bator.

SERIOUSLY debating on candling a single egg..... the next time I have to open the bator to add water that is. It would take less than a minute.....

Hey try putting a bowl of water in there just make sure it's tall enough so the chicks can't get in there when they hatch I watch like a hawk to make sure that there isn't a "super chick" that can get in it works wonders mine usually stays at about 80 that way

I filled the bottom water chambers (didn't even notice they were there... GAWD I'm a moron) and re-wet the 2 sponges.... I didn't wring them out but they're not dripping either.

Candled 3 eggs very quickly.... all 3 look awesome, wiggly and errrrrrthang!!

Nice I don't expect mine to hatch till Friday cause we lost power here for 12 hours so they aren't as far as they should but I have hope all of them look great I hear them pecking the shell also
