I set 14 (2 sent for free) had 3 that never started 1 that has quit but I have 10 going strong! So far..... day 12. finally, home from camping I count not wait to candle! I'm super happy I was sure a few looked like they were starting the ring of death but are great now.

Quick peek last night and looks like 9 are starters and for sure 4. I’ll check tomorrow night. I hen do you guys officially give up on an egg Oh and I took from my hens. They made my air cells wobbly They are still broody and sitting on fake eggs waiting for babies

I realized I’m on a layover and only home at 1:30am on the 31🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ (flight attendant) hopefully I’ll come home to babies!

Perfect That’s where it’s at. I do havé to add some water other wise it’s under 20%, and that scares me

So many people in May! I’ll stay here. Few days to go! Honestly I was going to set this am, but tossed them in early as they were not cool and air cells were good

I heard the day you put in is day 0 so day 21 is June first???? maybe may 31.... hmmm we will see. I want to check Sunday (and I most likely will check Sat night lol) but id like to wait till Monday when i arrive home from my layover. I admit last batch i candled every day...... ouch

That’s amazing! Keep us posted! I’m hoping to put my eggs under my (now) 3 broody hens🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Last time I ordered 12 and 15 were sent…

how is it going? I'm getting my shipped eggs tomorrow, my plan is eggs with good air cells go under my 2/3 broody hens and bad air cells will go in incubator. lets see how it goes!

We are inside and I want them out lol

How did it go? I had a broody and let her go. Only 1 hatched and I have them in the garage I’d like to move them to the coop run asap (so I don’t have to reintroduce mom) maybe bring them in at night. Wondering how baby was during the day weather is 0c 32-34f

Thanks. I make her eat and her last 2 poops have been a good size so I’m hoping that means she’s going to be ok. I did have to help her lockdown I noticed her air cell was small! So after everyone hatched and was ready to come out I checked her egg, she had internally pipped so I made a safety...

I got one NN she’s not doing great. But we are fighting to survive! I love her so much already
