hatching vibes!!! And I hear "chicken truck" playing in my mind now, lol!

Ugh thats nerve wracking for sure!!

3 out, waiting on the remainder. If no one pips tomorrow will candle. I have a lavender Orp, chocolate Orp and blue Sumatra out so far.

Fantastic Idea!

I have a ton of external pips! no chicks to take pics of yet.

Locking down tonight!

Adorable! I have a NN pair, hens a double gene and Roo is single. Just set eggs yesterday. Congrats on the babies !

Ohhh babies! How exciting for you!

It is pretty confusing. I try to get around 70% humidity at lockdown. And welcome to BYC!

Just make sure protein is good on the feed, oyster shell or egg shells for calcium. As long as everyone's trimmed, rooster too, I can't think of anything else. thursday the 10th is your likely hatch date, the 11th if you count the next day as day one. I would lock down the 7th to be safe.

Awesome! Keep us posted!

I love your posts so much! I am so glad you find the need to continue teaching kids to appreciate what chickens give us.

Something was wrong with the egg, or embryo MHO. Sometimes we just do not know what causes an egg to quit. Health of the hen and rooster, ages of both and so many other things can contribute. After hatching so many I still wonder, why? But resign myself to if the chick is meant to thrive it will.

I struggle with it too and this is my 4th year incubating! I have made myself wait til day 14, or at least day 10. I usually have my cabinet pretty full by spring so it gets busy, but soooo exciting seeing the babies swimming in the eggs!

I'm in! Test hatch 1 tray of Orpington, Sumatra and Ameruacana set the 21st.
