We're all hatchin'! Congrats, everyone!

[JenEric Farms]

Last night my hubby decided to open the window to "cool" down the house and turned a fan on... It's still in the mid 40's here at night...

I checked the incubator this morning and the temp was at 98...BAH!!! I've got it back to 101 now (i have a still air LG)...

Hope this won't slow my hatch down...2 days to go.

Humidity is at about 65 - 70, and temp is right at 101 (still air) I'm so excited!!!!

Out of the 39 I started with what I have left are:
19 BBS Rocks
9 Mutts from my backyard

Ok, I have 1 1/2 days left.... no pips no sounds that I can tell.

I am getting impatient.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!!!! I just hope my opening and closing the bator so much yesterday didn't do anything bad....

I think I'm definately gonna be rethinking the design of that thing when this is over. No pips or noise yet, and my temps are staying steady at 99.3-99.7 (total awesomeness!!!!) and from what I can tell my humidity isn't going above 70%, but my hygrometer is inside the bator so I can't check min/max humidity. I watched it for like 30 minutes and it stayed between 68-70%, so we'll see!

How's everyone doing??? Congrats on the hatch, HenMama!!!!

I ran to the store this afternoon and set up my 'bator like in post #4 here:

I was able to remove one red plug and the humidity is now staying at a constant 68%. Today is technically day 18 for me, so I knew moving the eggs at this point wouldn't hurt them. Now I just hope the humidity stays steady for the next 3 days!

DH just called, I am up to 15 hatched!!!

If I didn't own the store I would have called in sick today.
