I've had my dates wrong and locked down after one pipped before. The first pipped hatched uneventfully. I like my humidity around 70% so you might want to up the humidity a bit, but sounds like you're going good.

It takes a long time from pip to hatch. Expect a baby tomorrow.

It's gonna be fine.

ok am upping humidity thanks

Yes to the humidity at 70. And I don't get upset when it goes up to 75. Keep us posted!

Quaker, I am worried about the sebastopol goose baby in there because many say not to increase humidity until it internally pips , but how do you know when that happens if I cant open bator to candle

When is the Sebbie due?

 

[aaajjss1]

today is day 25 for the 9 ducks and 1 sebbie and day 18 for the 3 chickens,

ok. That little early bird kinda messed things up.. lol.

I would keep humidity at 60-65 and keep an eye on the pipper. And then tmw night I'd candle the rest and see where they're at. If they're all beginning on the internal pip I'd slowly raise the humidity up.

now the problem becomes that your chickens don't need that high humidity. I've done hatches like this and they've been fine, but you'll just have to watch them closely.

And this is all IMO.

I could move the chicks to small a bator that I have used before but its cold right now I dont know if I could get it up to stable temp fast enough, yes the little stinker will probably be my favorite one, the trouble makers usually are lol
