November Hatch-A-Long (2014)

[AmyLynn2374]

Question, how long did it take for everyone's humidity to get up to 60-65? I locked down a little early tonight so I had time to adjust it as needed before final lock down late tonight. I couldn't get humidity up past 52% so I added another bowl of water with a towel in it, still not over 53% so, I moved first bowl under thermostat that the fan is blowing onto and covered the hole behind the thermostat I use for adjusting it. Within 30 minutes it went up to 66% and I had a lot of condensation on the top window so took out the 2nd bowl to see what happens. Whew. My old incubator didn't have a fan and I don't remember it taking so long to get the percentage up and stable.


Amylynn, that is a beautiful baby! I had a malposition in a hatch once, she hatched just fine just took a little longer, I pray that's what happens for you.

Thank you, we now have 5 healthy chicks fluffing up and my maleposition who is out and hopefully gaining strength.

He's moving around. I have 3 more that I know have pipped so far.

I put sponges in mine to hold the humidity better.

With the one bowl It's been pretty stable at 61%. I'd rather have 65 but I can be somewhat content with where it's at.

Yay on the baby making it out! So many baby's and half the time I don't say anything because I've spent so much time looking at pictures I have to step away from the 'puter and do stuff like cook dinner and what not, LOL.

@AmyLynn2374 really helped me have the confidence to break into a second egg. She's so awesome.

My second egg is doing great, just pipped his head right out of that egg after a bit of clearing away shell and membranes. No veins, no bleeding. He looks great!

Here's a couple messy pics of my brood so far. I'll get better ones tomorrow once they are in the brooder and fluffy.

I decided to live stream my incubator so that my sister in law can watch. It's

if anyone wants to look.

I was watching it and the baby started to chirp really loud and my babies that are inside (hatched two weeks ago) keep talking back to it!

SHE was still stuck so I opened a bit more membrane and she just bounced right out.

Unfortunately my webcam lens is really blurry and out of focus so the friends I'm sharing it with can't see much. But it did all get broadcasted so I'm happy.

My incubator is having humidity trouble as well. I added hot water to the tray and the humidity was at 70%. Couple hours later it was back down to 50%. I added a towel with water and will check again in a half hour. Both plugs are out so I think the humid air is escaping.
