[ChicksinPR]

still waiting to see any movement in that pip...

i guess it is going to wait for the others now. Must have looked up and said..hey, nobody is at the party yet.

Ugh. Nothing yet. And I can't hear over the hum of the incubator. I hope we get some pips soon!

I am having all sorts of trouble with the humidity. I filled the wells. I cut the bottoms off Solo cups, put them under the wire bottom and filled them. I added three sponges. It was 49 this morning, I got it to 71 and it's back to 54. Ugh! I keep spritzing through the little holes in the top a bit of water to moisten the paper towels I lined it with. I am so scared I'm going to kill these. I see no motion, nothing

what kind of incubator is it. I was having that problem with my homemade one. Now that I have a genesis..I think I know qhat the problem was for me. I had too many vent holes for the room it was in. I have a house that has no glass windows. Just screen and shutters. (I live in the Caribbean)

It's an LG. I got great advice from some pretty serious hatchers who use it, and I got 100% with local eggs in my first hatch, doing nothing fancy. But we moved to a new house in the last month, and ambient RH seems to be different here. The temperate held great other than one spoke, but the RH is driving me bonkers.

I added a great big wet sponge not long ago. Hope that helps.

I'm opening this bator way too much trying to fix this. Ugh.

ETA: hatch day is tomorrow.

I found that I always had better luck raising humidity with a damp sponge than I did with any amount of water bowls...I hope your humidity gets where it's supposed to be!!!

Amost 430pm and nothing yet. I am hoping for some pips when I wake up in the morning...I am so excited for these babies to hatch, I can barely contain myself! I cleaned my house top to bottom today and spent about the same amount of time peeking in the incubator room looking for pips.

I have one pipping. I just went into lockdown last night. 44 total to hatch. One down and hopefully 43 more to go. I am hatching RIRs. I always seem to have early hatches.

I can get it there, but it drops back. I have a million things to do....babysitting the bator wasn't on the list until tomorrow, lol.

I know the feeling...last hatch I ended up taking the kids out to do stuff because we couldn't stand the suspense, LOL.
