ok, I have a still air. I didn't open my vents until I see a pip, then I open the front one. Keep temp the same as it has been, and you can try to keep the humidity around 65..that's what I did, not that high, because I found the still air really gets warm spots..and mine at least tended to get real humid and more hot in there when the humidity went real high..which, as you know by now from your last hatch, that it does go higher when they start to hatch. Good luck..here we go!

Day 20. I have a Nankin pipped!!!!!!!

I'm so nervous for these little ones!

I really thought I would see one pipped and even hatched today..was hoping. They are small, and sometimes the bantams do hatch a day early. Opened my front vent, and now the watching game.

Ok this is going to be a tough 10 hour day at work. I am at day 20 and being the impatient person I am when I added water today I candled three eggs. One I think is dead I thought it was at lockdown, and the other two I could see internal pipping they are getting ready!!! I was surprised how big the air sacs have gotten since lockdown hopefully this is normal my humidity has been holding pretty steady between 64 and 66 since lockdown. Hope everyone else is doing well this is becoming realy nerve racking today is going to drag My wife does not even get home intill 4 to give me updates.

what color will that make it? doesn't matter just curious. it is super cute. had another speckled sussex hatch last night. i'm also going to have to put the first sussex down. it really isn't doing well.

but at least there are 2 babies that can keep each other company
