Seems we've all been busy today!

Day 12 (3/18)


• 8:00 AM

- Major dip in humidity to 18%. Corrected quickly, it was only down for about 45 minutes

- Temperature holding steady


• 1:00 PM

- Temperature: 99.7°F (Perfect stability).

- Humidity: 52.5%. This is a great landing spot after that dip earlier this morning.

- Opened the vent to 3/4. This is the ideal setting for the second half of incubation to prevent CO_2 buildup.


• 5:42 PM

- Incubator holding tight cycles

- Temperature 99.4°F

- Humidity 53.8%

- Temperature 99.0°F

Lucky Day 13!!

Biological Milestone: Day 13
Hardening Beaks: The "egg tooth" is fully formed, and the rest of the beak is beginning to calcify and harden today.
Scaling Up: Distinct scales are now appearing on the legs and feet of your embryos.
Activity: They are growing very large relative to the egg space now, which is why that extra ventilation you provided is so important.

Grow, babies, grow!
