Day 20 and not a single pip yet......
The wet egg carton helped boost the humidity up to 70-75%, and it might help block any chicks from getting in the cake pan (should've left that raised floor in there!) before I snatch them off to the brooder.
I found a nice, 2 1/2 minute video of chicks cheeping on youtube. I'll put my phone on top of the bator and play it for them a few times today
If these don't hatch, (after I recover from my utter disappointment) I'll be driving down to Redding CA in the spring, to personally pick up some live Araucana (and eggs too!) from Edd Sheppard.
How do you people continuously do this!? This is torture!
