So I checked last night before I finally turned the light off...probably close to midnight. NOTHING!

Woke up at 1:30 to let the dog out, had to go by the incubator....NOTHING!

Woke up at 5 to get the Hubby up for work.....NOTHING!

Up again at 7 to go let the big girls out to free range...NOTHING!

Come back to the house after letting the big girls out....still NOTHING!

I was hoping for a least one little pip. The next few days are going to be long..I think I might wear the carpet out in front of the incubator stopping there to check.

Guess I should just go about the day and stay away from it...a watch pot never boils right????

Funny, I think I did the exact same thing you did with the exception that I have been pulling clumps my hair out after each check.

Awesome, I have #s 3, 6 and 10 chipping around in the bator, #5 is trying. Is it gonna hurt the eggs that are unhatched for the hatchlings to be knockin them around?

Here is the one that hatched last night



Here is the second one that hatched this morning before I left



Here is the third one , Im assuming this one is third cause he or she is drier than the other that was out when i got home , who is still in the incubator.




This one is the one I think was number 4



This one kicked his shell off as I was watching when I got home this afternoon



About 20 minutes later this one finally came out and passed out but hes breathing and doing good now



Im using a Little Giant incubator,, no fan, havent found that yet, with a turner that goes with the unit. I tried to keep my humidity around 40 to 50 and temps around 100 to 101 had a few spikes to 103, but i caught it in time and lifted the lid and pulled the heat out and adjusted it.
