Thank you for being there for me!!! You're a good hatch day friend!But, shouldn't I be keeping the lid on things for the Fighter? Can Hard Hat wait 12 hours? The humidity is still climbing...it's at 82
although I think it's real cloudy....:/
No condensation in the least- just the hygrometer reading. I'm on the 12th chick hatching since they started 12 hours ago. Sure the humidity went up a smidge here and there but it's hovered between 72-75... 81 (and holding for an hour now) is new. I took all plugs out around day 14
GOOD MORNING!
You're having a great first hatch with shipped eggs!Good luck!!! I am in the middle of my first hatch. Based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews here, I went with the hovabator too. I had mostly shipped eggs, from two different sources...one (Papa's Poultry @Papa Brooder was incredible, the other- coming all the way from CT, a total disaster (and extremely expensive!))... If they weren't broken, all eggs had detached air cells and some extremely saddled... Then, I got super lucky and discovered@Jessimom lives 2 miles from me! She generously gave me 6 silkie eggs (5 to lockdown- 3 have already hatched!). In total, 28 went to lockdown. It is just now Day 20.5 and 10 are hatched, 5 more pipped and one zipping. The one shown here, zipping, is a Bielefelder whose shell I cracked (and repaired with candle wax) 2 weeks ago!!! We are very pleased with this bator and even more grateful for all the advice here!!! Thank you! @Jessimom @Sally Sunshine
