Ok, so on night 20, 6 has pipped, on the morning of day 21, 4 had hatched.. that total is now 11 hatched, 3 more pipped, 2 no pipping and the remaining vorwerk egg that looks doubtful.
Brooder prepared, I've attached another cardboard box to the side of the brooder, put batch #1 in there and am using a puppy heat pad under some paper towel and more non-slip matting.. they peeped for a bit but sounded content enough before bed.. the brooder is inside the house and central heating will keep temps above 16c so they should be fine.. I chucked a towel over the box and left a small air gap. They were mostly sleeping outside around the edges of the hot plate anyhow.
I promise to get some photos up soon.
