Hi guys. Have a total of 5 hatched 4 dark grey one silver/white. I have a feeling the others are not going to make it but I will leave them in the bator today and see what happens. There was a couple that pipped yesterday but quiet now no sign of anymovement or noise Anyways I will update you this afternoon if I have any late arrivals.

The curled toes can be from a problem during incubation, like temperature too high. They are lil cuties No single combs?

Bit hard to tell they are all sooooo small. They all look like they are quite wide at the base so I'm thinking should be OK however my eyes are not so good. might have to get magnifying glass out LOL ;D I might have to get another thermometer as the temp was spot on 99.5 the whole way through...Although I did have a lot of trouble with the humidity I figured out eventually that I had left the back vent to wide open iodot that I am

Lol nah its easy to do. I went halfway through a setting with both vents open last year before I realised. I'd opened them during hatching and then forgotten to put the plugs back in when setting the next batch. I bought a hygrometer off Ebay last month, which I've got in the bator this setting and have discovered that my hovabator temperature gauge is out by a degree of so. Which doesnt surprise me, as I've read quite a few posts where people are warning not to use the hovabator temp gauges coz theyre crap.
