This is the first of 4 and my very first time hatching. I just wanted to share. 😁 The way it's snuggling with the other eggs is so cute.

My heart 🥺 he's so lonely waiting on his friends to join him (or her) they've all pipped so I'm fairly confident they'll all hatch.

they can all hear each other. He is very aware there is a family coming. Mamas talk to their eggs.

So talking to my eggs while I'm checking them in the incubator isn't a sign of madness then...? 🫡

Sweet baby. I love the first 24 hours after they hatch, because they are just so sleepy and snuggly 💕💖

What was your humidity at during lockdown?

1

u/Incogneato0503 1d ago

65% was the highest I could get it

1

u/jikjin_ 1d ago

Glad to know that works! Metzer recommends on their site 81% RH and while mine is currently 57-58% right now I felt like that was a huge jump.

2

u/Incogneato0503 1d ago

I've read so many sources on what humidity to use and several of them say different things. I tried to get the humidity up as best as I could but it stayed 65% consistently. I've read that even as low as 60% works too.
