I just love to watch babies hatch.

Can I give you a piece of advice? I would place a large sponge or lots and lots of marbles in that glass of water. If you can, try placing a tight fitting lid with small holes on top of that. I couldn't get the humidity up in one of my 'bators and tried a glass of water just like that . I went to the grocery store for awhile and I came back to two drowned chicks. I just don't want that to happen to you.

Congrats on your hatch and good luck with them. JJ has some beautiful birds.

It is a Tibetan. BUT to be correct in naming, a Dark British Range

We got 25 babies and 4 more pipped. I think this will be the last of them. By the time I get home They should all be done. James only 6 out of the 35 developing eggs didnt pip. I think thats impressive!

We got 60 more eggs coming this afternoon, So I will be cleaning the bator and putting more eggs in. Thats how you do it. These are from a florida Breeder, Not JJMR974. I wanted to get one set with a different bloodline to mix with his. We will see in about 19 days how those turn out.
