No more turning. Hatch on March 1

[Chickapooh23]

I turned and candled my eggs for the last time today. I have them sitting in the bator in egg cartons now. Will add a sponge and extra water in the morning and then I wait.

11 of 12 looking good. One might have quit. It has more empty space than the others. The were all good this weekend but 1 hasn't changed since then. I am still hopeful for the rest.

Hummmm. I could add them now. Day 18 starts in the morning but I am not moving them anymore. OK, I put the sponge in before I go to bed.

That would be great. I have my humidity up to about 78 right now. Hoping that will come down a little, I wanted to added some more water this morning before the final close up and might have gotten carried away.

I have a dentist appointment this morning and the weather has warmed up outside so I'll be able to keep busy today but I've got to find something for Friday and Saturday.

My humidity is holding at 65% also. Temps looking good. First hatch of the year also. This year lets hope March comes is like a chick. I have no idea what that means really I am just getting anixous.

Did you know that if you are really quite and put your ear down on the the pexiglass you can hear..... nothing. I felt really stupid after I did it... I was just hoping they are coming really early.
