Temps ( 99° - 100°) and humidity (65%) holding steady.
Day 20 Embryo Development: Yolk has been absorbed. Embryo becomes a chick, breathing in the air cell. Pipping begins.
Comments:
We add 1-2 ounces of water to the sponge tray about once a day in the evening to keep the humidity high. The windows on the incubator are beginning to fog up.
We also got the brooder ready. The brooder is the "nursery" for the baby chicks once they have hatched. The chicks stay in the brooder about 4 - 6 weeks. Molly was a big help by helping clean the brooder container, and the feed and water trays. Then, she helped set it up this afternoon in our garage.
We're ready!
