Well, @Fields Mountain Farm , it may not be your birthday... but I'm always up for an UNBIRTHDAY celebration!

Seriously, my friend, I hope your real birthday was a great one! Hugs!

Have you calibrated thermometers and humidity testers?

No..but the humidity matched my hygrometer. And temp hasn’t wavered.

What happened? Is she stuck or just worn out? I don't see any blood, so that's a good sign! And it looks like it has plenty of air.
Is that a wet paper towel on it? I think - just in my own experience - I like to use a little Neosporin (the kind that doesn't have pain killer) to moisten up the membrane.

I pulled out the paper towel she can breathe I don’t know if she’s stuck or tired. Will triple antibiotic work?

Caesar is getting big!

Really didn't intend to keep him but I think that ship has sailed.

He's a cutie!

That. Is. AWESOME!!!

Did I miss your birthday???

Oh naughty Lisa! Happy belated!
Good job Cap!


Sorry about all the posts. My multi quote seems to be broken.

Thank you Room

No worries, my quotes got a bit screwy yesterday.

Good morning America! I need help! My hatch rates have been awful in these two brides ovation incubators! I know it’s me, just not sure what I’m doing wrong! Fertility is good but I have 12 eggs and only 3 have hatched, one more has peeped. I assisted a perfectly healthy chick to make it out. Only one more is trying to pip. When I have assisted I have been in and out FAST! Throwing a wet warm wash cloth rebounds the humidity immediately. The hatch was due to start hatching last night. There’s just no more pips at all! Humidity around 70% temp spot on.
Help help help please! This is the second batch with a bad hatch rate. I’m doing everything I’m supposed to.

I'm so sorry!!!

All I know is it can't have pain reliever. You can also use coconut oil or Vaseline...

Good morning, Pond.

I think so - just check and make sure it doesn't have any topical pain ingredients.

Sometimes you just have to let them sit there for a while. If you gently peel away a bit of the shell and there doesn't appear to be blood, you can cautiously peel away a bit more. At any sign of blood, dab some neo on there and put it back in. What color is the membrane?

It looks ok. It looks white and dry,
