oh, for some reason i was thinking to lower the humidity, that'd have ended badly

thats one reason I hate staggered hatches, I said I'd never do it, now looky at my bator, it's jam packed

I begin my three day wait tomorrow, now do I turn the egg one more time tomorrow, or was today the last day??

 

[Ducklove334]

woot for 3 day waiting!!
I stopped turning the egg last night,but when I went to turn my other eggs, I could see the egg slightly rocking, I said "hey little guy"

*softy*, and it rocked alittle harder...maybe I was imagining things

,

but I moved the egg to the backish of the bator in view of a window, so i can see it in three days

I just sort of wing it myself, but I do pay attention to humidity just because we normally have none here. Today they say a foot of snow - so I guess I'm gonna have to keep an eye on it.

My first goose and ducks will be hatching on Wednesday April 8, which is the same day I should be getting my Holderread's American Buffs -YAY! Then all my hatches are staggered too - I'm checking fertility on like all my pens now, plus I can't stop ordering eggs...LOL.

I can't wait to see pictures of your new guys!

lets see, right now I've got the mallard due the 29th,

button quail eggs hopefully due on the 3rd

Mt Cayuga Lyras eggs look like they are developing, all 4 of them ,I'm uber happy about this, Lyra passed away,rather got smushed under her nest board the night before I set the eggs in the bator, she had just started brooding.they should hatch April 9th,

I'vr got three RIR eggs left out of the 11, that LOOK like they're developing, but they were supposed to be due saturday, but I think they got a late start, I'm going to see what they look like in about a week,

theeen I've got 23 eggs(runners,khakis,pekin) set the 21st

and a blue swed, and one of my own runner eggs set the 23rd.


*pant pant*
