I forgot to put the eggs on lockdown this morning, so they got an extra turning. They are all settled now, with the humidity up at 70%. I candled just before I added water, 8 of the 16 have already internally pipped and I saw movement in the other 8. I'll post pictures when they're in the brooder.

21 chicks hatched this weekend. Here are some pictures, NOT NECESSARILY in order. They went from the incubator to the aquarium holding tank. Now, most are outside in the 110 gallon horse tank become brooder.

So sweet! We also candled our duck eggs last night and I tossed 5, but 13 still looked good! They should hatch this weekend!
