Thanks, you two.

Okay, the temps are kind of "wobbly", like, they don't stay in one place very well. Anyway, I thing it is going to be okay...

Well, this is the 21st day for those 7 that are already in the hatcher. I am just sooo worried that I already killed them

Grace, did you candle them to see if you can detect movement? Hang in there, wonky temps and humudity can delay a hatch!

Hope everything's ok, good luck!

UPDATE---

The crazy hatcher quit on me last night, so I moved those 7 poor little Bantam eggs back into the regular incubator. I didn't want to stand them up in the turner, though, since they had been laying on their side for the past three days, so I had just laid them beside the turner, and who'd-a-thought-it, they fit

Well, I just now checked on them......One of those, and one other egg (a LF one that has been in the turner all 21 days) are both trying to hatch!!!!! The shells just have a tiny hole

Good News!!!

Maybe the temp wasn't ever actually that high and your thermometer was just being a fluke.

c'mon little babies!!

Thanks

Here's some pictures

The Bantam is slowly making progress, but that fullsized one, well it already has a good sized hole and a tiny beek sticking out an chirping
