Day 18.....Lockdown

[Lyrika]

The first set of eggs were my own, the others I picked up local. I will follow my gut and do a mini lock down.

Good luck!

I'm sitting at work right now, wishing I was home to see what is happening with my eggs. One of my Araucanas was starting to zip as I left for work, so I should have another chick at least!

Good luck everyone! Post pics of the new chicks.

Day 18 ....Everything is going along great, checked the EE's and they are pretty full I have an expectation they will hatch on time, checked a few of the GNH's and although they still haven't filled the shells tthere is definite movement so I am hopeful that if the EE's hatch the higher humidity wont hurt the others... I understand not being able to be home, but sometimes being at home is worse, I hold the flashlight to the bator and just will them to move
Not going into lockdown until I have an internal pip so I can give these guys the best chance possible...

Sounds like a good plan! My EEs were my first to hatch out of my recent hatch
Good luck to you......can't wait to see pics.

If I am not mistaken they were the first to hatch out of my last batch also...

I went ahead and removed the egg turner, candled everyone one last time. And I already heard chirping!!!!! Omg. I'm so nervous now!

Set 43, locked down 36. All extremely dark, but some of them I could see a few claws/feet!
