Sending good vibes!!! I am sure they will start hatching soon. I think if I had waited, my last one would have had a chance and must just have been a slow grower. As for the one with nothing...mine seemed dead/not there and was. So if it doesn't smell, as everyone else always says, leave it and...

Well, all said and done. 18 eggs. 8 clears, 1 quitter. 9 went to lockdown: 8 baby chicks and 1 dead during hatching. I blame the last one on me. I thought it was a dud, opened up the aircell end and realized it was alive. I had nicked a blood vessel. Although it appeared to stop bleeding and I...

I love this incubator. Any smaller on the window and I would have been freaking out about not being able to see them As it was I was crazy watching them hatch at all hours.

So we have had 8 orf 9 eggs hatch. Last one looks to be a dud since I don't see movement. Have 3 that look like Barrock chicks (black with yellow spot on head) and then 5 yellow/yellow white chicks. Our friends that gave us the eggs think they have Barrock, leg horn, and Rhode Island reds. One...

That's the only thing I've ever seen hatch. We did quails in middle school :-)

Glad to hear that...I guess I was just expecting it to pop up and go, lol. I am not sure about the breed. It came from a darker brown egg, but not a maran. My daughters friends gave us some eggs and I never asked which breeds they had since we are giving them back and will hatch our own in a...

It hatched!!! But it's leg isn't extending???? It's been out for over a half hour and is struggling to roll over and can't seem to get the one leg under its self. Is this normal?

OMG!!! First pip!!!!! I'm like a crazy person running around telling everyone in the house! Day 18 and was going to check them all one last time for final position, but glad I looked before opening the bator! Humidity is at 60% so I may add a bit of water through the air hole but OMG!!! Lol. Now...

So we put the bator on lock down tonight since my daughter will be at a friends and I will be at work. Culled one last egg that was fairly clear..if anything the yoke liked scrambled. No veins, no movement. Put it in a bag and threw it in the outside trash. Although I was sure it wasn't viable...

Down to 10 eggs today with 2 more days until lockdown. Had 7 clears and 1 quitter we found last night. (First time eggtopsy was kinds gross...) Anyhow, my daughter thought it was so cool when we could see a chick moving in the egg! We watched for a minute and I swear we saw the feet and...

Candled today and have at least 8 viable out of 18. The silkie eggs looked pretty clear. I have one I'm not sure of. Has great veining on one side and then what I am worries may be a blood ring...ill try to post a pick, but basically part of it looks like streaky dark instead of just clear...

I'm getting so excited seeing all these chicks! Tonight we will candle for day 7/8 and see what we can see.

That sounds like an awesome science fair project. Our school won't let the kids work with any live animals for the science fair. :( My daughters friend tried one year and they said no go. So I would guess hatching would be out. On a separate note. I have 2 acu-rites in the incubator and a...

So we are on day 4! Last night I candled some just because we are being stupid impatient people as this is our first hatch ever. I got this awesome flashlight with 170 lumins from target. I am amazed at what I can see in the eggs now. All looked normal like I expected but the one gigantic egg...

I now understand everyone posting about how this feels like forever! Only 1 day in and I'm like "when will they hatch!?" It's like counting down to Christmas.

I'm with you on this one...I just set mine yesterday. First time doing this. We got a few eggs from my daughters friend to do a "test hatch" with our new incubator. A mix of silkies and a variety of egg layers. (not sure what breed egg layers as they have a few that all lay brown eggs and...
