Well, I'm on day 11 with my friend's EE eggs where we will split the hatch. I learned this weekend that I can't see a darn thing in those blue and green eggs on an Ovaview, so now I'm just going to ride it out and keep my fingers crossed. I've gone back to my original humidity of 40-42% to try and match the success of my first hatch. I also learned that my Octagon 20 was 1-1.5 degrees low at egg level with a new Spot check. I bumped the controls up to 100.0, and now am running closer to a 99.5 average. I would rather be a little low than a little high. If this hatch is delayed as well, I may bump up to 100.2 or 100.4. I still haven't tried the cooldown feature. I need to get my humidity and temp baseline down before I try that

Hi ChickyChickens, Just wondering if you missed my message to you a few days ago about joining? I also noticed you are from South Africa! That is exciting to me as my daughter is there right now in the Peace Corps, she works in a little village in Botswana.
 
So I candled each individual egg today. Only one candled clear. And I think one might have had a blood ring. (Both Ancona eggs.) But that means all 8 Cayuga eggs are doing well, and 7 Ancona eggs as well. Not too shabby, IMHO.
 
i am worried my nearly 200$ gray peacock pheasant eggs are going to be shipped through this weather! I know they will be buffered somewhat by packaging but still! luckily I always pick up at the post office so they don't sit in a mail truck on is route. same goes for my porcelain d'uccle eggs, they arrive today or tomorrow. right now it is 30 in central Texas! in the day!!
