May 2020 Hatch-A-Long

I think I am on day 18 also on 2 eggs.

So what are your thoughts regarding the air sacs?

I like to see a dip.

day 18 is too early to worry about anything.

Here's a picture of them from just a few minutes ago. The three rings are the air sacs from Day 7, Day 14 and just now. I am hours away from Day 18. Humidity is at 40% now. The camera is looking down just a bit and the tray is tilted just slightly forward. Thoughts?View attachment 2166938

They look a bit on the small side but they're not terrible. These are a couple of my hatches from earlier this year. Yours aren't too far off.

So do you think I should wait till they pip to raise the humidity or should I go ahead and raise it tomorrow when I lock them down?

Wait for the first external pip

I would at least wait until day 20 even if you can't hover over the incubator waiting for the first pip that will give them some extra time.

We have 3 hatched and a bunch externally pipped. My husband has fallen in love with this fat chunky one. I’m wondering if it’s part Easter egger

I'll take better pictures tomorrow but 16 sweet little peeps hatched and the last Silkie is finally hatched and drying off in the incubator! All should be Silkies and Millie Fleur D'uccles but I think I have at least one more impostor because a Millie hatched out black, lol. I've been batting a thousand with these sneaky roosters lately and the breeder said a neighboring cochin took a liking to one of her Millies. lol

Also both of the turkeys are pipped!
