Hi I can't decide if it's on day 18 you stop turning eggs or if it's after day 18 so tomorrow.?

dont think it matters the chick is fully formed now.

[Helencus]

I checked it out on the net so I've stopped the turning and upped the humidity. I've seen one of the eggs moving slightly... Very excited but also nervous that things go well... Fingers crossed!

[doganjo]

bet you'll be up all night!

It's so exciting lots of them are really moving now... Can't stop watching them hubby thinks I'm mad!

[doganjo]

Tell him it's him that's mad and we are the sane ones  Hope you know how to post pictures because we can't wait to see them

[Helencus]

I told him that  I don't know how to post pics on here. Will try to figure it out

[doganjo]

easy.  Reduce the size of your picture giving it a new name and keeping the original as it is.  Open a reply on here, look at the bottom left for 'options.  Browse for your photo and then click post.

Hi John. I didn't get any other bits of foam? I just had the black mat stuff then the yellow stuff that goes under the water drip??? I left that in mind the suro instructions are terrible so didn't know what to do I had to google to figure out how to reset temp and humidity control. They're rocking about a lot so hope i've done everything ok. Temp is 37 and humidity 67. Instructions said 37 and between 65 and 70 now so went half way. When should I see piping?

[Helencus]

Still rocking about but no sign of any cracks in the eggs.. Loads of cracks in my nerves but not in shells... I am going out I can't take another day or so of this lol !

HI HELEN
everything seems fime by what ur saying re temp/hum, they will still take their time so relax even after they pip they can take ages to hatch,mind dont get to excited or over worried if u thing one is taking to long or n trouble let them get out themselves,although i had one last time that was going great but then died in shell but what do u do? i just let them do it by themselves as i tried to help one when doing my first hatch and it died next day so its a learning curve:) good luck again

[Helencus]

Thanks John. I know can do no more than I have and despite any temptation to help I'll leave alone. Some of them are rocking really vigorously others just a little shake now and again. I have to tear myself away.. I mean how sad am I it's bank holiday Monday and I have my nose pressed to the plastic window on an incubator!
