What do you use for bedding? I use the shavings..the pine shavings, not the cedar, as you probably know, not good for them. Just have your camera ready! Will be watching for pictures! Here's what I hatched yesterday, Silkies, and I hatched some pure Ameraucanas day before. These are...

Just got on to see this..congrats! You aren't silly, I've hatched for years, still have fun with it! The brood box is something I've never kept a temp on. I just use the bins, not sure what you're using, or how big. If it is in doors, my guess a light bulb..around a 75 watt should do the...

Oooh, well water! I used to drink well water when I was a child living in VA. I can almost taste it now..love it!

AZ, I never thought about the salt! There has to be a lot of people that use that for soft water. That wouldn't cause a problem, would it?!

What a darling picture! Those are some fluffy cute chicks. Love the mixed colors in the lighter ones!

They are darling! What are they..maybe you posted somewhere else..

AZ, how are your babies? Getting pictures yet?

Hey Cat..is that contest still accepting pictures? I have a great one for Christmas. Where do I go if they are? It's for 2012 right?

The first egg I brought in from my broody stinker of a mom girl..hatched out this cutie...Feet are still a bit swollen, will go down by tomorrow. It was screaming at me! lol..

Yaay!

Yep, sounds normal..

Ok, no more eggs for my broody! Went out to check her this morning..this is hatch day, and there lay a chick right beside her. I just knew it was dead. Picked it up, it was cold and lifeless. My hubby came out and I took it over to him. Told him it was one of the colors I was hoping for too...

Normal? Well, happens, quite often actually. May stay pipped for the full 24 hrs..then hatch, and get your others going. Are they normal size eggs, or bantam eggs?

I'm not sure of why, I really don't like it when that happens. I always wonder, what is that liquid? Was it a shipped egg by chance? I'm going to start noticing if it only happens with the shipped eggs. I have had eggs come to me with water looking stuff floating at the top. Had one of the...

AZ, will probably hatch within the 24 hr. period of the pip...congrats!

My only 4 that I had inside, and got sneaky and took them out to my broody and switched on here, went into lock down Tues..expecting some pips at least in them by this afternoon, but may not be able to tell, or hear anything until morning. Due to hatch tomorrow. She is sticking on those eggs...

Obvious question..date written down anywhere when you set them? Sometimes they just surprise you though, and develop a bit faster, especially if your temp was a little bit higher than the norm of 99.5. Or, if they were smaller eggs. Could be a number of reasons, but there are a few. I've had...

How many more days now?? I only had 4 eggs left that were alive. So, I did something. Yep, I did something. lol.. I had three eggs under my broody cochin bantam. They aren't due until next week to hatch. Had this bright idea. Yep, I did it..I switched eggs on her. She now has four eggs...

I still have my 5, but haven't candled in a while. I just hatched out my Araucanas and cochins yesterday..those tufts are too cute on those Araucanas, and the feathered feet on the cochins are cute.

Lil, I know the feeling. I lay down, thinking of chickens. Oh boy. I only have 5 of the ones that I started with for this hatching thread..EE's. But, I do have some that are due to hatch this Fri. Talk about nervous. They are Araucanas, and Cochins. I have folks wanting some, but I only...
