MGG's Hatching Thread!

That's great! If it's colder where you are sometimes just bringing them up to room temperature helps a lot!

Yeah, it did seem to! It's 68 in the basement where they are now, but it was 30 outside this morning.

Do you all think I should set tonight? I won't turn them until tomorrow if I do. I have all of my tube holders made up, and the incubator is doing amazing at holding steady.

I don't see why not. Go ahead and set them.

I decided to set them this morning, it got late fast last night.
I used cut Dixie cups for holders instead of TP tubes, but I poked a few holes in the cups for ventilation. I'll be able to tip them quite a bit in the cups I think too.
The Marans eggs' air cell completely re-attached, but the other thirteen cells are still quite jiggly. Hopefully they can re-attach too.
Here's a pic. I set them at 8 a.m.

I can't wait!

It's hard to say without seeing what you're seeing but when air cells are only "jiggly" I've actually had great success putting them directly in the horizontal turner and incubating as usual so maybe if you baby them just for a few days to a week you could probably put them in the turner after. Good luck on your hatch!
