May hatch-a-long

[treslilbirds]

Hi!
We’re in official lockdown mode. My temps been holding steady in the 37.5c range and I’m running mine dry until I see some hatch action. It’s been super humid with all the rain lately and the air cells were a little smaller than I’d like. I’ve got a straw in place to add some water if needed.

So here I sit.....and wait....staring across the room lol

Welcome to the hatch a long it’s so hard to wait when it’s lock down time I usually go and check for pips every five mins but the really really hard part is when the chick has hatched and it’s still wet and you have to wait to take the chick out keep us updated

6am, day 20...no action yet. I woke up and ran in the kitchen and started talking to the incubator...”Hey! Any of y’all awake in there??” No answer lol...I told them I just brewed a pot of hot coffee. We’ll see if that motivates them.

I’ve gotten pretty good at candling my brown eggs. I tried candling some of my EEs blue/green eggs and I couldn’t see anything!
I may need a stronger light for those.
