Oh no worries! I get it.Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of the chicks (like I said I would) last night. I was trying to get everything done as quickly as possible since my daughter is back in school. We'll, not actually "in" school but I needed to get her ready for bed asap and look over everything she worked on yesterday and make sure she knew how to turn everything in, etc. She's doing the virtual school. She meets with her class every morning at 9am on Google Meet. That's not super early but I want her to get up early enough to be able to get ready, eat breakfast, and go over everything before the morning meeting. Today was the second day, but it's an adjustment keeping up with time and getting her into bed by a certain time. I plan on getting pictures today, I promise
One of the Swedish Black's has externally pipped. I'm trying to get the humidity up and having trouble. Going to try another Sponge. I did heat the water I'm adding for faster results. I'm not sure when it pipped because it's on the narrow end. Everything has went as planned with these egg. Stopped turning on Day 17, but I still have a pip on the wrong end. Now I'm worried about it shrink wrapping the chick. Today is Day 20
I'm using purified Bottled Water. Is that ok? It's between that and tap water (I have well water) for now, unfortunately. I have been using this purified Bottled water
On Day 18, I thought that I'd just leave the turner in to protect the chicks that haven't hatched from the ones that have. The more I think about it, I feel like I should probably remove it. I would hate for legs to be injured or worse. The stress begins....... I'm shaking a bit
Just breathe. Keep a cool head, and think about each decision before you make it. They're going to be just fine. You've done an awesome job getting them to this point so far.
That sounds just fine. Just checking.
Looks good!
Lol! Thank you. That's good. It really helps boost humidity, even though it doesn't last long.
