Who's hatching right now?

I am continuing my staggered hatches. Welbar/Ameracauna/CCL complete, added a handful of Silkies which are complete. Cleaned the bator lastnight and added Langshan/Java eggs for lockdown. Other bator has D'uccle & today added Silkie & ShowGirl
 
Don't let your humidity drop if you are close to lock down! The air cells with drop anyway. I generally raise my humidity up a bit a few days before, not much, but some to get the shells more soft for them to be able to pip. Then, I go to high 50's, to mid 60's with humidity during lock down.

Ugh, ok, working on bringing it back up. At 8pm it will be day 18, im going to check them tonight, I have little eggs in with regular size eggs. Should I go ahead and bring the humidity on up after checking them tonight? I sure do hope I haven't messed them up.
 
Quail,bobwhites and JMF a&M's and meat maker browns. Also just had a request for some olive eggers. Gonna start them after the quail hatch
 
I will be giving the olive eggers away,just to keep the incubator going
 
Just checked my eggs & I have 2 of my silky/frizzle chicks that looks like they are working at getting the internal pip, could see like a little shadow going up & down into the air sac. I've added more water to try to get my humidity up some more, it was around 38-40, so hopefully it'll go up some more. I'm so excited, out of all of them that I put in, the silky/frizzle was the ones I wanted the most, so I really hope they make it & that I at least get 1 frizzle!! This is only day 18 now too. :fl

Day 18, you are good! Seeing shadows at this point..great! :thumbsup Now keep the humidity up during lock down. Don't want it too high..like I said above, you will be good. You may have some early hatchers with the smaller eggs, but it doesn't always happen with them. :)
