I think 2 days after lockdown is average for first pip. So for me that's tomorrow!!!!

So far I'm only able to get 65% humidity...and theres nothing more I can do....hopefully it will climb a little more

well i was getting worried that i have over 70%...i guess p[eople have different opinions on this part of hatching too huh? i had read that 65% was ideal?
