Woohoo! They are hatching!

Checked my incubator yesterday evening and none of the 42 eggs I had set had hatched. It was day 24. Took a look this morning before I headed off to work and it looks like half have hatched and there are another 10 or 15 in various stages of pipping. SHould have a final count later on tonight.

All ringnecks from day old birds I bought last year. Using my old clunky Little Giant incubator that is about 15 years old.

Congrats!! One of mine started this morning. I didn't realize it and opened up to add a wet paper towel for some more humidity, then realized it had pipped. Got home from work and it's not moving. I'm afraid I killed it.

Sorry about you little guy.

21 out of 42 so far are doing fine. See evidence of a lot more pipping.

Can't wait for pics!!

35 out of 42. 83% I'll move them to the brooder tonight when they are all dry. A few were hatching out as I left for work.
