I think... on average... they look pretty good. You've got some pretty rough looking saddle cells, so I certainly wouldn't run any drier than what you are now. Be prepared to jack it to around 70% during lockdown.   

Thanks!

i am not sure about beautiful but lol thanks! Was trying to get it to look more polish top hat like

Hi I'm on day 20 of my third attempt at hatching. temp has stayed at 99.5 +or- .2 humidity up til day 18 was at 40 and raised to 60-70% at 18. Haven't heard anything yet and decided I needed a little something to keep me breathing and not touching the bator. Tell me something should come out alive soon. Please?

@sharonmc2002 do you have a fan in your bator?

Day 20 is early, you COULD have had too high humidity, and or low temps if your not seeing pips, what breed eggs?

@Sally Sunshine Just finished my first April hatch. Had 8 Silkies go into lockdown, 6 hatched, 2 DIS. Both were full term, 1 even had the yoke absorbed, but never internally pipped. The other was malpositioned with a small yolk sak left ~ no internal pip

I dont believe you without images... sorry

LOOK Mike!!!



She's coming to live with us just as soon as I get back from that darn cruise.

I will go on the cruise for you
