18 days tomorrow!

[Snadger]

As the thread title says it's 18 days tomorrow since I started incubating my eggs..........do I stop turning from NOW or after tomorrow?
I'll also have to up the humidity.....any idea of what to use?

PS Humidity is currently about 40%

[lynda66]

turn for the last time tomorrow night and put your sponges in and get all excited

ETA i used 2 kitchen sponges in a bowl ....with the green scrubby bit removed, but any sponge about that size will be fine .... i didn't bother checking the humidity after day 18 as i had dry incubated, so i just stuck em in and waited not very patiently

[lottie dolly]

ooo,some more hatchings imminent

[MaureenHall]

Oh yes, it's all go now! Snadger, Jonny, then ME (or is it Jonny then Snadger? I'm getting confuddled)

[lottie dolly]

oooo how eggziting,3 of you,will this upset lynda,is she making plans for when yours are hatched,like having the icubator back

[lynda66]

lynda is being very good and not hatching any till she gets a lottie when there will be more chooks, 5 turkeys some ducks and maybe a goose or 2 ..... though she may venture to the auctions in the mean time ...........and not buy anything

[Bephlam]

How many do you think you'll have Snadger? Any clues yet??

[Nicos]

How exciting!!!!!

..and just as mine have finished hatching too!!!...what colours should they be??

[Glutton4...]

Are we running a sweep, choosing names or any of that this time round?

Just a thought....

(Ducks to avoid the flack!)

[lynda66]

i think snadgers gonna eat his boys ........ and i can testify that names are not good

[chicken slave]

i think snadgers gonna eat his boys ........ and i can testify that names are not good

My boys all have/had names (Kiev, Drumsticks and Sunday) and believe me Sunday tasted great even with a name

[lynda66]

maybe it was keeping them in the living room for 10 weeks then

[matthew2riches]

Wow! Great!

I have hatched 2 lots so far. 4 (out of 6) Sussex eggs and 10 (out of 12) Maran X Black Rock eggs.

My meat birds failed though because the eggs were scrambled in the post :-( Am going to try again next week.

See pics on my blog.

You have to keep us updated on when you put the eggs in, and what kind, and hatching due date and everything else you can think of Mine are on day 15 now and I'm getting butterflies in my tummy every time I think about next week I think Jonny's and Snadgers are due tomorrow!!!!!! (or maybe today)
