Cute chicks!!My first hatch is over. I started out with 48 EE and OE eggs. My first chick came out on the 19th day. Then the others came out on the 20th-22nd day. I had 4 zip or put holes in the shells but not make it out on day 20. Day 22 The last 4 where doing the same peeping but couldn't get out of the shell. So I helped them out. I had 20 hatch in all. I'm not sure if the last 2 will make it they look very small against their hatch mates. But, in all I did better than I though I would. I did learn a few things on the way. Next time I will set the humidity controls lower and not add water in both trays as suggested by the incubator instructions. Then on lock down add water to all the trays! I couldn't get the humidity over 62% or under 46% It wanted to hold around 50% from day The temp held at 37.06c - 37.08c or 99.68f - 100.04f I'm collecting eggs again for round 2.
Quite the busy day. Moved the old brooder OUT of the front room. Cleaned the room half way. Hubby picked up the fridge from the other house so now we have some extra storage room for extra FOOD. That really helps.
