That's great how many days before you think they've all hatched. Pam

Two yesterday and two today. Aimee must have been wrong, I can't see any other pipping. We'll see, this is day 21. Set at 9pm on day 0. I may have more but I'm totally satisfied with 4. Two of each it looks like. Two are larger and bright yellow, the other 2 are littler and have a darker undertone with silver wings. Cute as little buttons. Hope to get pics tomorrow.

Interesting design, I thought. May try to built a few of these for my garden. I'm not totally sure where to put it, but I guess I have a little time yet. There's a wild and crazy climbing rose on the north side of the house that I'm thinking about cutting back and digging up, then replanting near the other rose on the edge of the coop.

That's neat! I also saw about growing corn and letting poke brands grow up the corn then planting pumpkins and summer squash to covert up and kill weeds. I'll have to find the picture and see if I can post it.

Yay! I'm so excited! I have 12 eggs in lockdown and one started moving and pipping! So glad, I'm feeling not so discouraged now. The power went out again last night and I wasn't sure for how long. But things are looking up! I've also had a tough time getting the humidity to stay between 60-70. I keep finding it at about 73...

Great news when did you start lockdown?

Okay 4 down and 4 to go plus 3 Lemon Orphingtons . They look so much alike I can't tell, but it's 4 so far. They are so inquisitive that I'm banking on it's being the Basques. They are watching me watching them. so cute.
Yes on the cool down, 2 hours will get you to 75 degrees. This is a site that I found and reported on. Ron said he thought his way was better and with a 95+% hatchability I can't say he's wrong. I'll be doing this one time cool down on day 16 for 6 hrs next time I think.

Whoa! Aimee just came through to get her chick therapy she said and found another one pipped. Coming along. .

Oh! Ok thank you. I actually read that page a few days ago but didn't convert C to F. So it's on the 16th day.....hhhmm how will I hold the eggs at 75F for 6hrs.

Congrats on the baby Basques!

Congrats Ricrow. I didn't realize you were incubating also.
