6/7 hatched. One died after not zipping completely.

I used to have this setup but without the heater. Hopefully the heater works well, but you'll want to check to see if water drips at the nipple. Mine stayed liquid in the bucket but froze at the nipple. Let us know how it goes.

Boy I sure am getting nervous about these power outrages with my eggs so close to hatching!

my eggs are hatching. .and power is out.. I got them plugged into the truck.

It helps to keep the humidity higher since the air cells get so big when they are "saddle sacs".  You should hatch them in an egg carton with the air cell end up.  I have hatched saddle cell eggs before.  It isn't ideal, but can be done.  

I'll get the egg carton ready! Thanks for the advice. These shipped eggs really got a right rough handling.

That's a great idea!

Geez that was some crazy storm... I was on egg shells all day watching the trees sway and the lights flickering! And just like that it seems to have dissipated... At least here... Everyone ok?

High tide this morning, too. Almost thought we would wash away. Power went out at work so went home to shore up tarps, etc. Here are some girls enjoying the dry dirt under my shed. The only dry place in the yard!
