Next couple of days are going to be really hard for me! When I locked up the coops tonight and closed up my banty's "cage" I did a quick candle. One chick has internally pipped, one was trying like the devil to pip and the other was just hanging out. Tomorrow is day 20. Now I have to go into blue mode and not sure I can handle it.....lol Hope the next couple of days go by quickly.

The easy part I'm talking about is after the hatch... no need to worry about heat, a brooder box, grow out pen, integrating and all that...


Now go sit on your hands!!

I've got some super big air cells in my shipped eggs, but I kept them anyway...I'll find out in about 3 days. We are on day 18 so we shall see.

Please give updates!

Humidity for bantams or lf is way different, especially with shipped... always keep some water in the bator for bantams, smaller egg loses moisture faster than a larger egg...

Fyi, if you run Calls at 50% a lot will drown before internal pip...

See, I did not know that! Great to know Ravyn! And as soon as I hit send I thought that I haven't even researched hatching calls yet, so that might be a whole other ball game! I will do my homework before attempting them and I'm sure that will include many pm's to you!

Oops...

Amy, do you recall the advice that I gave to Megan when she went into lock down at her last hatch? I'm giving you the same advice. Step away from the broody. Go to your chair, and assume the position.

Hatching Calls is definitely a whole new ball game, lol... it isn't called the Call Duck Challenge for no reason...

Seriously, it is very difficult, especially with shipped... be prepared to lose sleep, tear your hair out, bawl like a baby, throw tantrums and be super frustrated... and then celebrate every single successful hatch like it is the last thing you'll do...
