We have hatch, set 6, had to remove one, a quitter, put them on lock down Thursday night, thought I'd heard a squeek last night, then finally heard peeping, has hat me worried something might be wrong as it was 7:30 when I first heard the peep, I expected to wake up to a chick, he didn't hatch till about 10:00 or so. Of all the eggs to hatch out of, he hatched out of one of the eggs, I was 80% sure weren't going to hatch..lol. Now for the others. Hatch day isn't officially till tomorrow.View attachment 2027011
during incubation I run around 50 and during hatch 65 to 70. As they start to Hatch the humidity on it's own seems to stabilize around 55, it is the janoel 12, with the size of the eggs I get 6 is generally max, though I have had 12 in there, but they had to be hand turned and the top plate had to come out along with the turning tray. I do have one of those 24 count Chinese incubators, but I figure hubby doesn't have as big of a heart attack if I hatch 6 at a time..lol.
Awesome can't wait to watch
I think it all depends on where you live, where you have it set up at, mine is currently in my guest bath.. the water in there helps to keep the humidity a bit high, but I have the challenge of the "dry heat" plus having the heater on. Being set up in there helps to keep a eye on it
, congratulations on your first incubation.. I was a nervous wreck with my first one. I've done several since then, majority of the time I have a 60 to 100% hatch, going to have to figure out what this one will be, I've had a second baby hatch, these eggs are all from my Naked Neck Coop, one is a black NN for sure, I can't tell yet if the other is a full feather or a bibbed. I'll see in the morning, when I move them to the brooder, I had a feeling earlier that I had another one on the way as the first was singing.. kind of a trilling noise they make.
