Setting eggs on Thurs. Nov. 10th - Any buddies? Hatch due Dec. 1st

Hold the phone. What am I seeing? I just looked at my 3 suspected no-shows and 1 is pipping. It's been many hours since any activity.

oh 12

that is a very good hatch indeed

great job!!!

Can I get a Hooray??? I thought this thread might be finished. I'm in more suspense now than I was when the first 8 were hatching. Well, 9 counting the one that zipped into a wax repair. There's 2 more possibles besides this one.

I wasn't meaning you Evelle. Thanks for the Thumbs up. I'm just so excited. I really hope it makes it. I am keeping the humidity up and watching like a hawk. Pun not intended.

Loved the photos of the lemon cuckoo orps. I have six lemon cuckoo orp eggs that made it to lockdown. Tomorrow is day 21 - and one had pipped. I am hoping SO MUCH that I get at least two or three chicks. This has not been a very successful hatch for me. I think I'll probably end up with something like a 12 - 15% hatch.

Congrats to everyone with new chicks!

It's weird how they all came in one spurt. Then, way later another one shows up. I'm eggstatic.

Oh my!! Congrats to everyone!! Such pretty babies! Phantom, I am right there w/ you!!! I thought mine were all done & I was so excited about my 5 new babies but when I was checking to see if I could hear or see anything w/ my remaining 3 eggs inside the last one I checked was peeping at me from inside her shell!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I'm gonna set up my camera to make I don't miss anything while I'm sleeping tonight. I am in THE BEST mood ever right now. I actually got to watch 4 out of my 5 hatch, my hubby video'd the 1st one while I was at work this am, & I even got to help one of my 5 out & they are all doing great! YAY!! Now fingers crossed my 6th baby hatches out for me tonight!

Oh & it's official, my hubby says that I have to join "incubators anonymous" now! I'm addicted! hehehe... But hey I think 5 or 6 out of 8 that went into lockdown is pretty good for my first time ever!!

I'm such a proud mommy I gotta share a few more pics! lol...
(The egg I heard the peeping from is the one on the right side of the 3 eggs in the middle that you can't see the X or O on)

Come on Carol, keep your hopes up higher. I forgot that you set some Lemon Cuckoos after I did. I don't know about about you, but, I think I ran just a hair too dry at first. I'm keeping the humidity as high as I can get it for this next little guy. I feared that the 3 remainders were shrink wrapped. Think positive. Thanks for the comments on the photo. They are adorable.

That is a great hatch. Did you do something about the humidity like I suggested? I am curious how you did on that. I see your results and they're great. I love the pics. Best of luck to you on the rest.

BTW, I think I'm going to go nuts if I don't see this chick start zipping.
