May 2023 Hatch-a-long

[lilwanderer]

Alright, i decided to mark air pockets for the first time, only because I've been concerned about them, they were really small a few days ago (day 5), a little better now (day 8) but i still think they're too small. Since I first noticed i haven't added any water, and won't until I see improvement unless y'all say otherwise.
The eggs without the mark aren't on day 8, but what do y'all think?

So, looks like I'm going to have a surprise hatch this weekend! My daughter went into labour a week early!

Congratulations! Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl?

Air cells look fine to me.

Really? I may be exaggerating but I just, I don't know. .

A few look small, but others look normal. None of mine are ever exactly the same. More importantly is when you check on day 10 or 14 (whatever your plan was), the air cell is getting a little bigger.

I like using weight loss to check if the humidity is right, maybe you could try that next hatch? If you need help with it, let me know!

Alrighty, makes sense. And I will.

I'm beginning to get a little on the antsy side as the first day of lock down comes to an end. From now on every time I wake up in the night I'll be looking through the window to see if any of the kids have pipped yet or even hatched. The first two hatches had some "Early Birds".

Thank you! Boy. She can't stand surprises, lol! He will be named Raven.

Four external pips now. Want to keep peeking in there... Probably won't have any hatches until morning, though.
