They are still very quiet. Temps are holding steady, so is humidity. There are 6 of them. The air cells are perfect. When I candled at lock down, there was good veining and movement is each egg. I just need to stay busy today. It is hatch day!

I am sorry I have not been on all the time - it is just I am up to my eyes with hospital appointments etc, Most of you know by now my house is mad!

Anyhow I feel bad that I don;t have the time to read up on everyone elses hatchings right now. We are for lockdown - Now just to run through


Humidity should be 65 and the Temp still around 99.5-102???
Well my temps keep peeking to 102 then dropping again mostly hovering about the 100 mark. I am hoping for chicks sooo much this time round.
I did the same as last time candled and there was dark in half the egg but I couldn;t see any veins. It is hard to look when you are locked in a closet on one leg trying to hold a torch in one hand and an egg int he other while being attacked by all manor of coats and other object! SOme I swear were moving and furry! ( Not chicks!)

This is day 18 for us so day 21 is Friday.

Should have the hatch done and dusted by Monday I hope!

 
Oes

Saw the news - do hope all are ok what with the twister! Terrible about the children so sad - hope all from BYC are safe! Thinking of you all at this time from far away!

well oes I hope the morning finds you and yours well and the doctors and hospitals are all of routine check ups and good luck with the lock down I do so hope the chicken gods smile down upon you this go around
