Aww !

What kind of bator do you have?

right now I am using a still air, hovabator. model 1602N
17 out of 25 of my eggs made it to day 18, now I am not sure about what still survived after that. Since all my babies are a tad late. Day 21 was yesterday.

When you add water don't open the door past day 18 , use the vent holes and a straw to squirt water on to a towel, this way you wont ever shrink wrap your babies.

Okay I will keep that in mind next time.
I couldn't do anything like that this time, since my little Backham was playing drunken sailor soccer with the other eggs, and moved them all into the center of the incubator where the water is.

Its normal for them to knock the other eggs around it won't hurt them if anything it will encourage them to come out more.

I always watch the hygrometer when its low I add water through the vent holes little by little and you will see how fast they go from there.

My humidity is currently in the 70's so I think my babies are all set

And one of my eggs is much heavier that the rest.

Must have a future sumo chick in it.

Hahaha I saw that one years ago.
And yeah I think I will clean the paper towl bedding tomorrow, since I should be giving him two new roomies then.
I think he should be fine hanging out on my bed for like two minutes tomorrow while I change the bedding right?
And I will feel so discouraged if Beckham turns out to be a hen.

If you don't mind poop on your bed

When beckham fluffs out check this link out you can some times tell by their wing feathers. It has been right on for me so far. Not everyone will agree with it.
But it has worked for me so far.
