I'VE GOT MOVEMENT

[championny]

So day 19 and one of my eggs is moving around in the carton.

I have the humidity at 67% and I am hoping for a pip soon! I am sooooooo excitied and I hope this little one makes it!

My mercury is reading 98-99 and my digital is at 100.6 so I am hoping the digital is more accurate. I am keeping an eye out for a pip tonight!

YAY!!!

I wonder how long they can jiggle around for before hatching? It's a mover and I just hope he isn't struggling. The humidity is now 65-66%, which I believe is perfect range.

Jeez, it seems like its the labor part of birth.

I think I have small movement on a few others. It's day 20 so I am prepared for anything. Come on little guys!

Ok, so I woke up today at 7:30, sick from a restaurant which I shall not name, and I stumbled to check my eg. Well, its still moving but no pip? What gives? My humidity is fine and temp is fine so I am not sure what she's doing, but I will be on the look out all day.

Come on little one let's get a move on!

be patient, if the temps are ok just wait, don't get in a hurry. Just sit there and hold your breath

go do something to help pass the time. It could be hours yet. We will do the nail biting for you.

Thanks Ozark. I am posting around on other's topics to keep me occupied. i am getting ready to check on everything in a few moments and should do some laundry.

I am more likely getting more inpatient as I have been looking for this day for soooo long. Also, I am nervous about some of the stories you hear about dead embryos and such. I have to calm down so I don't get worked up.

But yeah, I am really happy and can't wait to see whats going to happen today. Keeping my fingers crossed! I need pips!!!!

my first time hatching was 8 out of 9 and I was a nervous wreck but felt so confident after that hatch that I made careless mistakes on my second go-around

I am going by the book..so to speak...this week. Let me know how they do. I think you will do great!

Thanks again Ozark. I had to add more warm water for humidity so I did it as fast as i could. The temp only dropped to 99.3 and went back up to 99.5 in 3 mins approx. So far so good, its just he's not jarring the egg so much now, but he's probably tired after all that movement last night.

So, I am keeping an eye on them

and I have the humidity back to the 63-66% range. So, off I go to wait again!
