For the majority of my hatch I've been able to keep pretty constant temps of 102* (still air), with a few dips or spikes, but lately I've been having more spikes (up to 104*). It does go back to normal temp, but I hope I'm not messing up my hatch with all these spikes. Grr...

Day 14 so will candle again tonight and see how they're doing...

First Wheaton ameraucana out! It's a healthy little thing! It's so lonely in there with twenty other eggs. Chirping away. Poor thing doesn't have friends yet. That's what happens when you show a day early!! The others are wobbling! How's Cynthia's going? I know we are both due today

I've noticed that it's a bit hard to keep the temperature stable around day 13-14. I think it's because at this point, they are starting to grow really well and can generate some heat of their own? That's the only thing I could figure out. WIll

for you!

Thank you! I'm amazed that they look twice their egg size once out. Really packed in there!

Aww, cute baby. And I'm loving the blue egg! I want a blue egg layer out there in my back yard. I have an EE that lays the green/blue egg. It's nice having some color.

I have 10 out, and one working on it. Woot. I should get photos later. There are dark and light blue colors going on, and one is a chipmunk color. What? Must be a partridge coloring in the future.
