Thanks for the tip! We have just finished our first week. I am going to candle them today to see if I can see anything. I will check out the hygrometer. All the eggs came from my hens. It took me several days to get enough eggs so I hope they are all still alive. I will keep you posted. Hey Judy! Thanks for the tip! We have just finished our first week.

I suggest you get a hygrometer or humidity monitor. During all but the last few days of incubation the air from the room may be enough for the embryos, but towards the end of the hatch, when the chicks are turning and preparing to pip, the air should be moister. The hygrometer I got was from Wal-mart, has a thermometer in it, and was inexpensive. Good luck with your eggs! If you don't mind my asking, where did you get your hatching eggs?

We ate the last ones (green ones). Loved seeing all the Arikana (sp?) eggs. We ate the last ones (green ones).
