Still winging it. Another EE just hatched. Now there are three. I did take it out and put it in the brooder with the others. I could not leave it in the incubator with the turners still loaded with eggs. So yes I'm "not leaving them alone" but I still have not upped the humidity. Still at 45% MOL. Normal hatch, no shrink wrapping. We'll see what tomorrow brings. No pictures yet.

I don't think there's an HOA in the entire county... Then again, I don't think there's 10,000 people (ignoring the incarcerated) in the whole county, eitherTruly northern California is nothing like central or southern, or even like the Bay Area, which is what most people think of when "Northern California" is mentioned. San Francisco's 6 hours south of here!
I'd put money on roo on the right, pullet on the left.BYC ate my post so let's try again. I had the hubby take pictures of what I suspect is my roo. I have them side by side for comparison. I feel like his comb looks bigger than all others, I wish hubby got pictures of his legs, they are much thicker. He is overall bigger than the other chicks but it's hard to see since I'm holding them. What do you guys think?
LOL. What I don't understand with the weighing the eggs, is they are loosing moisture, but the chick is gaining mass. I would suppose it would be figured in there somewhere, but it doesn't make sense to me and I haven't attempted to figure it out. I would have to say go with your instict. Many people who weigh swear by weighing and I've heard supposedly it is a more accurate, but I use the air cells and have had great success that way, so I have no interest in weighing.It's the average. I'm supposed to be 4.3% for day 7 but I'm at 5.8%. You know, I really didnt even want to do the weighing. But I thought maybe it'd be fun. No...it's not. I hate It already!
Ugh!!! I LOATHE math...lol
That is a great picture. And look...you can hold it in one hand and take a pic too!!!I have to share this candling picture! Today is day 7. This egg inparticular is practically see-through, it's pretty amazing.
I'm really good a certain kinds of math, like algebra but %'s & decimals are NOT my thing! I'm thinking I'm just going to go by how the air cells look otherwise I will be worrying like crazy. My humidity is holding steady at 40% dry. I'll recheck air cells on day 14. What day are you on?.....never mind, you just said day 14....time for me to go to bed!
Amy again that chicken is saying turn off the light and PUT ME BACK TO BED good picture good development keep it upI have to share this candling picture! Today is day 7. This egg inparticular is practically see-through, it's pretty amazing.
