Aaaaaghhhh!!

Just went to turn my eggs for the morning, thinking I'd be turning for the last time tomorrow evening. Expecting hatchers on Wednesday.. THIS is what I saw in seven out of eight!



Lockdown: Initiated!! I will NOT have a troubled hatcher this time..

Troughs filled, wet towels in place, no more opening.. promise!

 

[Marty1876]

Hmm, your temps must be running a touch high in your bator. Good luck on the hatch!

 

[carcar80]

That's what I figured- possible I guess, temp has read 99.5 the whole time but I only measure at the screen. :shrug We shall see though, last hatch internally pipped early and all but one hatched late!

Hi everyone. I must say this thread is very interesting. I'm only on page 127 but that is an accomplishment in itself lol. I have one question though and didn't want to wait. This is my second time incubating but I consider it the first since none of the eggs hatched from the first batch. I think its because I washed them not knowing you couldn't. But anyway I was wondering about staggered hatches in the same bator. I seen a few did this but how do you do it? I thought with the mess of hatching and the humidity changes it would be impossible for babies to hatch. Also I'm on day 15 and I must say its very cool seeing the babies move a lil in their shell.

 

[Marty1876]

I do it. I just get humidity up at the right time.

 

[ducklover87]

So then it would be OK? The higher humidity won't hurt them?
