Simulated Natural Nest Incubation~Experiment #1 So it begins....

[aart]

Lockdown = stop turning and upping humidity.
I'd wait until day 24-25 since you had a few known temp dips.

Without disturbing them too much at all, I've managed to shine a light on at least the air cells and they are definitely growing larger and the rest of the egg is full darkness...I'm assuming that's a darkness full of chick.

I bet you have babies by Monday. Me how ever... I think all mine died due to temp spikes...

Bee had the same hatch day and I just now had a chick hatch…my past 3 hatches have been 2-3 days late. I swear its this weird weather

Aw, crumbs. I'm sure sorry about that.

This method certainly takes some getting used to. I'm going to try one more time and see if I can get a higher hatch rate.

I hear you fox--I hide my incubators and eggs from my hubby and just sorta slip chicks in the coop lol!

I am not having much better luck than you with my conventional method. We had two warm days in a row, the eggs I gathered those days are developing. But the eggs are cold when I get home in the evenings. Those eggs are not hatching. Oh well, spring is coming.

Thank you. We live and learn and some may be developing. I can't see veins or movement but who knows. I also have 4 ducks, a goose, and 7 chickens developing in my LG incubator.
