Lost heat yesterday =/ The incubator went down to 95 (which I guess is pretty good since I only have an LG). I'm thinking they will be okay, hopefully!

Well..7 babies hatched and doing well.. The others all dead in their shells. I'm not sure what happened. I never opened the incubator. Temp steady at 99.5 and humidity at 62. We are happy with the 7. They are gorgeous lavender, porcelain, blue splash and buff.

Congrats to everyone on their babies!

Painted feathers I hope your hatch is ok!!

Tomorrow is Day 16 for us. We stop turning, remove the tray dividers and lay eggs on their side. 8 eggs still look viable, but the active embryo in the video is now very quiet.
