I took the Temp/Humidity gauge out of one of the incubators (its got a fan and has ran steady at 100 degree's for two days now)   As we speak, the temp on the un natural incubator is 99 and the humidity is 49....I'm comfortable with it, if I need to raise it I can turn on the shower lol

  My mother who lives in Oklahoma calls for daily updates...She was so excited that two have internal pips.. I try hard to remind her that a pip is not a hatch and a hatch isn't a live healthy chick.. She said if they hatch we should call them Holy chicks...lol...I told her if one hatches I might accidently say it the other way lol

my grandfather used to hatch eggs under a heat lamp in a box similar to what your doing when it can time for lock down he would take a couple of towels wet them then place around the outside of eggs in box not touching eggs just surrounding them but then again the man never used a thermometer either lol when I used to ask him how he did it he would always say either you have a feel for hatching eggs or you don't its not something just everyone can do as a adult I have adopted incubating as a hobby but I use my lg incubators some of the posts I see on here remind me of my grand pa

I feel like I'm checking mine every 5 minutes. It's more like watching a rose bloom. (Well my rose any ways. I have a peppermint rose that takes 6-20 days from Bud to bloom then the bloom survives for just days

LOL.. Yep, just like that... I know from internal to external it takes 12-24 hours but still!!! I honestly didn't expect even this now I find myself daring to hope these little ones will make it!!
