I'm so happy that my ANXIETY is so entertaining!!!

If you see me missing from here for more than an hour, I'be probably had a heart attack.....

I should go out and take a pic of all the people peering into my hovabator... it's like it's grand central station.

HATCHED- Pip #2... FBCM (shipped/1588) at about 6:30AM... zipping. First to hatch at Noon, just starting day 21. "Pierre"

Pip #3... BW/BW (coop#1/1588)at about 12:10PM... nice pip! We have a 25% chance of a splash with this one!

Pip #4!... BW/BW (coop#1/1588) at about 1:10PM... bigger pip than #3--- they are right next to each other and next to Pierre.

HATCHED!- Pip #1... FBCM (shipped/1588)at about 6:00AM... starting to zip 12:51PM... halfway zipped at 1:15PM, Hatched at 1:30PM . This one HAS to be a cockeral, "Pierre"

Both feet looked deformed... toes curled... anything I can do for that? He's running around the bator like a crazy roo!

HATCHED!- Pip #2... FBCM (shipped/1588) at about 6:30AM... zipping. First to hatch at Noon, just starting day 21. ... name changed to "Pierina"

Top popped of, but still sitting in the egg.

Pip #3... BW/BW (coop#1/1588)at about 12:10PM... nice pip! We have a 25% chance of a splash with this one!

Pip #4!... BW/BW (coop#1/1588) at about 1:10PM... bigger pip than #3--- they are right next to each other and next to Pierina.

Nothing in the Brinsea. Holding steady at 99.6 degrees and 65% humidity... I figure I got 24 hours there.

43 left to pip!

Oh and just to add another grey hair Germaine... YOU are the reason I did a dry hatch!!!

 

[Germaine_11.20]

Oh my. You do know that I am now officially STRESSED!

 

[JanieMarie]

Germaine I'll share that responsibility and stress for mahonri's dry hatch! I still think the humidity is as important during incubation as it is at hatch time. Really there shouldn't be any watery fluid in the egg at hatch. When there is thats what causes them to drown or have sticky wet chicks and I still think its a result of too high humidity DURING incubation. jmho. The high humidity at hatch time is to keep the membrane soft and lubed so they can turn to zip so I don't believe high humidity at hatch would have anything to do with drowning them. Again jmho.

Hang in there Mahonri!

Murano that little duckie is just too cute!

Mrandmrschicken thats so interesting on the vorwerks they are black with gold heads as chicks and gold with black heads as adults! What a beautiful breed!
