I've very ready for chick pictures!! i'm hoping I have a good hatch. Electric was off for a few hours yesterday due to storms and temp dropped to maybe 95 ish? i covered the holes and covered the bator with a sleeping to help hold the heat in then when I went to up the humidity for lockdown it spike to 81% for a whole night so this morning before work I carefully took them out and took out the water and its at 43% now and I'm just going to leave it there. Hopefully I start getting some pips soon because day 21 for me is tomorrow. Temps holding at 98 and 99 now. First hatch I've had this much trouble with...

I hear faint peeping today! It started this morning and I still hear it off and on but no pipping yet. I can't tell who is making the sounds, if it is the polish or the Barney eggs...time will tell! Temp is holding steady at 100 and the humidity is now at 70%. I hope for a great hatch...most of my eggs made it to lockdown.

Day 18 with my broody FBCM. Didn't get off the eggs all day. Raised up slightly and seemed to be looking at the eggs.....did she hear or feel them moving??

Ohhh I love when the excitement begins!!! I just saw the beginning of my first pip!

Yeah SarahB! I hope you have a great hatch! I have one polish chick hatched out now and another one peeping. I haven't heard anything from the barney eggs yet but they are not really due until Friday. I guess the polish are just in a hurry to get out. . I can't wait to see what I have tomorrow!

singing is good, I talk to mine lots. Now we're in lockdown maybe i'll sing too... need to do something! Good luck!!

Wow! can't wait to hear peeping! What day are you on?

 

[DiamondDust]

Today is day 20 and so far I have two polish chicks that have hatched out!

I'm really anxious for the barnies to start hatching but they are not really due until Friday. I don't know why the polish chicks decided to go earlier?
All the eggs were put in the incubator at the same time.
