So, 3 days left. Gracie has been pretty much awesome. Hoping this awful heat/humidity hasn't ruined things.

Good luck!!! Always exciting!

I just had a 'wet' hatch two days ago...lost 5/6 chicks and 2/4 poults Humidity is falling now, so hopefully Gracie's batch should be ok!! Fingers crossed!!! :chicken4:

Just went down for a day 18 candling. Two were clear, three were "yessss!", and two were "I dunno". Lost one at day two: thin shelled, cracked open.
Go, Gracie!!!

Good luck Gracie!

Day 21 is here. Gracie didn't come out for the morning feed with the rest of them like she usually does, so maybe she's heard something? I did have to pick her up to remove the egg that Memphis laid (forgot to do it last night at close-up time) She's been laying in Gracie's nest again the last 4-5 days, and Gracie of course doesn't complain, just moves the egg into the prime spot in the middle of her clutch. I will be putting the fence up to night to create a separate broody pen for Gracie and her Brabies tonight. I didn't want to do it until hatch day, because I wanted her to have access to the feed, water and dust baths in the run as long as possible.
Anyway, long story short, when I removed Memphis's egg, I didn't hear anything or notice any pips yet. Maybe tonight ...

Mine were due on the 21, I had 2 hatch out in different incubators I might add on that day. Now today I had 17 more hatch out and more are pipped. I think its the weather so be patient.

i just had a bunch in the incubator that were late by 2 days as well-most hatched on the correct day, but then some stragglers......so i would agree on something with the weather. too much up and down and swings in the humidity.....
