I'm currently on Day 24 with chickens hatching now. So like you, I"ve had to learn to just give it time. It's maddening for sure.

well it must have been close to pipping - must have been in process of turning?

I got such a shock !!!! followed by waves of nausea!

will bring humidity down to 65% as not to endanger the others - although our aussie forums suggest 70%-75%

so much differing advise is confusing and frustrating!!!!

How's your chick doing?

70-75 is where I used to hatch. I had some good hatches and some aweful hatches. 65% seems to be a pretty good spot, but it does have a lot to do where you are too. If you live where it's humid you're humidty will actually be higher and if it's dry same thing the other way.

I'm going to give you a link. Gotta go find it, but I share it and have used it and I get much better hatches.

just had a quick look - well gently lifted egg and it moved - this is gonna be the death of me... or at least I'm going to sprout a 100 grey hairs!!!

Thank you so much for your insight!!!!

No problem , but don't worry if this one doesn't make it. It probably hasn't absorbed the yolk sac yet and it did have some bleeding, but that doesn't all mean all is lost. The hardest part is not opening that bator. LOL

Could you have a look when you have time and tell me what you think... if it's good could you post it here ( sticky it ) still learning to navigate around here

 

[wolftracks]

I'll check it out now. Only the mods can sticky. You can request them to do it.

Have you read through the stickies on here or the incubating info in the learning center?
