Taking eggs out of turner upping the humidity

Well it's time!  The hatch will begin on the 16 or 17th I'm hoping.  I have one that is for sure alive (at least three days ago it was)  I'm candling it again tonight when I take it out of the turner.  I'm so sad that only ONE made it out of the 15 I had.  I guess summer heat does effect the hatch rate.  Next time I will order eggs in the spring and fall.  I will be ordering some bantam cochin eggs after the weather cools down.  They will be out with my polish and d'uccles in the bantam coop. 

Everyone please send good thoughts to my lil ol silver laced polish from Kelly to hatch!  I so want this baby!  No silkies for me tho, they all died :(

Going to have to name this baby something special, like Miracle. I sure hope it survives. I will be looking for an update, I see on the post above it is almost time for it to hatch. :) Love, Kelly
