A GoPro is a great idea!!! He will be soooo excited.

I pretty much have a revolving door of an incubator at this point, lol.

WV sent me eggs!

Mottled BBS bantam cochins Hatching them for the same friend I'm doing the pheasants for. She's gonna let me keep some chicks if the hatch goes well.

Charity got her first egg from her pheasants!

Dh got the larger water wheel made. Hes actually shifting it back from the flume and extending the flume to channel the water directly into the buckets. The pic shows it moved...

Guys, how long after a hatch has set for 24 hours before you give up?
I assisted 2 chicks and saved them both!! Thank you mountain girl and WV. But...how long after the beginning hatching time of 24 hours before you think there is no hope for the rest?
The pic I’m going to show you is the chick I assisted before and after! She is strong and so is my other assisted hatch chick, but I know it’s my lack of knowledge somewhere that’s messing up my hatches! Lol not lol! I cannot believe how easy it was to assist, and I’m damn glad I did!
What do u guys think? When to assist or pull the plug on the hatch?
But these were individual chicks of course. Tonight right now has been about 24 hours since yesterday eve. Pics to follow..!

I throw in a very warm wet cloth when I went in and out! My humidity almost didn’t even have to rebound it stayed up and I closed the lid very quickly!

This chick pipped about 8 hours ago! It’s been over the 21 day Mark.
Two blacks I lost were full term, it was as if they were too wet? I dunno, it was the Pitts opening the eggs but they were dead both black Ameraucana chicks...
