So far no one else has anything hatching right now, but between her stuffed toy & a little mirror she seems pretty content. Once she's off heat I'll try integrating her with the silkies in the heated garage. They're pretty laid back. Hoping it's a pullet as well.

My sole survivor :-) Temp fluctuations got the best of the others.

A little late to the party but very welcome.

Well after 24 hours, nothing from two of the remaining three eggs. I float tested them and no movement, both bobbing on the top so I am assuming they were late quitters. The third egg (the one I added a couple days late) however is rocking and chirping so I am hopeful I will have a second chick...

Thanks!

So, how long do I wait before wisking this one to the brooder...no pips from the other eggs yet.

No pips last night, woke up to this little guy :-)

Yay!

Candled last night, and I think we're going on lockdown a day early. Eggs were almost completely dark, so bumping humidity & leaving them alone.

Day 14 for me, 4/5 looking good. 1 looks to be an early quitter, I removed it and performed an Eggtopsy. It was iffy on day 7 but I chose to let it go since I wasn't sure & there was no smell.

Not the best pictures, but here are a couple of my day 7 pictures. Do the air cells look the right size?

When I had chicks last year they were brooded in the house for 5 weeks (in my front hall actually lol) and then moved to a baby pen in my heated garage until spring. They were real pets by the end.

Not bad at all considering they were refrigerated. Looks like you and I will be expecting chicks on the 16th.

So did my candling last night. 5/5 showing development, air cells look good. Now to sit on my hands into day 14

You're going to be swimming in chicks :-)

So adorable! Congrats!

Good luck!!

Awesome! Good luck!

I gave in and candled. I can see clear development in 3/4. The 4th is iffy so we'll see.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
