Lockdown Today First Hatch with Hovabator...UPDATE! Cheep cheep cheep

[HoglundH]

8 fertile eggs. Moms are a variety of breeds from last years hatch (black sexlink, a heavy red variety, RIR X Columbian, Barred rock). Dad looks like this:

I put my ear to the eggs. They are making noise (sort of crinkly sound).

Humidity steady at 70% or so, temp 99.5.

I am very happy with the hovabator, seemed very easy to set up and stabillize.
