Well I have some not so great news.... Having twin boys has come back to bite me in the butt yet again. Every single last egg that was in the bator, smashed or chilled dead. 10/3&10/10 sets both trashed

I have seen my chicks helping pipped eggs, very normal. As chicks hatch the humidity will go up automatically.

Day 20 - second SLW egg has externally pipped. First one has made a little progress since last night.

Oh that sucks, I am sorry. Were they playing with them? How old are the boys?

Least i saved the birds before they cooked in the bator. oh yeah i forgot that part... they packed birds in the bator and slammed the lid shut to let em cook. Kids and bird room getting new locks on doors today. enough of this crap. not like i cant make up the ground i lost. I know i can even if it means running some dang heat lamps for a while. the annoyance of 40 birds i needed to stock our freezer gone i think is whats enraging me the most.
