Just put in my eggs today. So much changing! I have had to open it so many times, including taking all the eggs out and pouring out excess water. Just with a dry run the humidity is 62% oi

New bator?

 

[Poultrybreeder]

No, I've had it a while now

Oh, well I just asked because I thought you weren't used to it. I usually use a measuring spoon to put water in mine. That way I get the same every time.

Nice, I got the temp stable for the most part, by the humidity is crazy! It was down to 25 this morning, up to 40 later. Back down to 25 this evening, then up to 40, down to 38, up to 63. This is annoying

Update: None of my friends staggered eggs developed, I don't think they were fertile.

I did a quick spot check/candle of my eggs and I did lose one of my super blue egg layers.

But all the rest are looking great!

I'll be candling mine again Friday on day 14!

I candled last night to see if the Ameraucana eggs are ready for the turners. I am giving them today, and then even if they are not ready, I'll have to turn the turners on. I'll see how it goes!

I turned the turners in at 8 am hoping I did not leave them without turners for two long approximately 60 hours into incubation is when they were turned on

Bummer about your friends eggs, but glad to hear yours are doing well!

Sounds like they’re off to a good start! Looking forward to hearing about your progress.

So of my 15 shipped AC eggs, 11 made it into lockdown this morning! Pretty happy with that. Now keeping my fingers crossed that they all hatch out okay! Had to pull one that quit since I last candled on day 14. Hatch day is Monday, yay!

I did end up switching my eggs into my rcom incubator once I got it calibrated, and am glad I did. The auto-turning and auto-everything has been so nice, lol!

@Fanci Feathers Marans - how is your one egg with the sideways air cell doing?

Anyway, thought I would leave you all with a picture of this little one waving. Again - not the greatest photography, but it was so cute with its little foot out I had to snap a pic.
