Well here they are, Dotte is the one in the center of the shot, the splash is on the left (Chablis) and the one to the right is Rioja

I've had some go for 24 hours between pip and hatch. I think that the pip is to let a bit of air in to dry out the membrane slowly and drive the blood back into the chick. That can take time

the Are splash orps
I hope..that or their blue orps what do you think?
They look like splashes to me, I think the blues are a bit darker.
Splash orps???? I didn't know you got any, even tho you might have said, LOL
I love it!

I certainly hope so, the poor little baby. They're warm and clean and I guess that's really all I can offer them right now

shoot Blessed Ive wait 24+ hours after pipping..down girl down! LOL
Okay, but remember those happy pills we were talking about the other day, well... I might need two tonight, lol. JK Seriously, it's nerve-wracking but exciting.

The following methods will describe the Salt calibration method; you only need to perform the high test to have a fairly close reading. I am a perfectionist so I will provide you with an optional second step for the most accurate calibration.
Salt Method Calibration (High Reading):
Place Morton Canning salt (a few tablespoons worth) in a small mug, glass, or container and mix in some distilled water. Make sure you do not dissolve the salt. The desired result should be a sludgy, gooey, semi-solid mixture.
Place this mixture inside a zip lock bag (I prefer sliding lock to ensure complete closure) with your hygrometer inside. Make sure the hygrometer is facing up (so you can read it) and that no water or mixture comes in contact with the meter (this will throw off readings). Now seal this zip lock bag with an even larger bag to ensure that no additional air may enter in.
The proper stabilization time of this mixture will take approximately 12 hours. At this point your hygrometer should read in the 75% range. I would perform this test various times to get the average, and use this as the tuning number. (Ex: 70% = 5 points, 74% = 1 point, 72% = 3 points. 9/3=3. Adjust by 3 percent.) If your hygrometer allows tuning it is usually done by turning the screw on the back with a small screwdriver.
You are now ready to use it to measure your humidity! Unless you want to know how exact it really is
The Low Calibration:
We are going to follow the exact same steps as above, however this time we are going to use something called Magnesium Chloride Flakes (eBay this). The flakes are inexpensive and when mixed with distilled water (the same sludge) it creates a constant humidity of 33%.
Calibration of your hygrometer should happen twice a year.
Why Does This Work: The mixture of Salt and distilled water and Magnesium Chloride and distilled water has a fixed vapor. The vapor will create a constant humidity regardless of the amount of mixture if the mixture still remains a solid. Temperature plays the minutest role in the amount of humidity created; over a 25 degree window of 60-85 degrees (F) the change is .xx % in the reading of 75.xx %.
