Today is day 7. I'll be doing another candling tonight to check for pesky air cells. As some of you might know, I had a dickens of a time with the last two hatches - almost every single air cell was detached or both saddled and detached. These have look okay to this point Good job, @RubyNala97

Hope you have a great candle with lots of development!

I have 650 pictures on this device...... 95% are hatching and duckling pictures.

@Ur-ur-ur-urrr Will you take another picture of the Barbie bator? I forget what it looks like.

Evening of day 20, 7 pips out of 18 eggs. This is the batch I've fought high humidity with the entire time and think I've lost two of the super blues.

What I find interesting is that my only BCM egg is pipped, My olive egg is pipped and 4 of the Ameraucana and Easter egger eggs are pipped. (6 out of the 7 pips are in these eggs.) Meanwhile there is only one pip in the 11 eggs that will be the super blues. Either they're late developers or.......

I just might have to repeat this. Guess which ones I did the incubation for?

Glad you have some pips. I hope the super blues come along.

You need a bunch more, and they need to have different readings!

Who doesn't like playing the guessing game? It's a shame all of these thermos and hygros actually matched readings...

Can definitely see some empty spots for not only thermometers & hygrometers but also a couple more eggs.

You'd think $85 would fill the bator to overflowing... but it didn't...

Wonky air cells can wreak havoc on hatches. You've had a good run of bad luck, Blooie... it's time for a run of good luck!

Here you go, MC...



Oh, wait... I forgot... you seem partial to close-up pics of the viewing window. My bad...
