Hahaha yes, that is where I’m at! 😆 I think tonight I will put them in with the turner and hope that was good enough :)! Thanks for the help! I went in and circled where I “think” I’m seeing it, we shall see how close I was 😆 I set them Friday late afternoon, so I think they’re as ready as...
Oh man, this is so very helpful!! Thank you!! I think I finally see it! I was expecting a more obvious air cell like when you candle a few days in to incubation. I think I might be able to see it now when I candle 😁 Thanks @LadiesAndJane ! You are always so good at this stuff!

Okay, I’m admitting to still having a steep learning curve to hatching eggs…by asking this question. When you are candling your shipped to you eggs—how do you determine the air cell is detached or intact? When I candle the eggs, I don’t see air cells anywhere? Even in non-shipped eggs, so I’m...
Oh wow! I can’t say I’ve ever seen that before! It doesn’t seem like a good thing—you should do an eggtopsy when you are sure if it’s not developing and see what’s inside. Super weird!
Nice! Sounds like a good place for more ladies 😍 I have 4 coops 😆 and too many roosters, so I am going to either need more ladies or less boys. We shall see how it goes!
I love waking up to pips! It’s exciting and also stressful! I check like every 10 mins to see if they’re zipping and worrying they won’t! I hope you have 6 little peepers very soon! 🐣🐥
I got 6 self-blue Belgian d’Anver eggs and 9 assorted bantam EE eggs :-D I really don’t have tons of room left, but I figure shipped eggs never have very high hatch rates so I’ll probably be okay! 😆
This little one is doing it’s best to survive! I was getting concerned because she seemed to be constipated and a bit of pasty butt. I gave her Nutridrench and egg yolk yesterday and added a tiny bit of coconut oil to the feed. She tried oooping and only a teeny amount came out so I was thinking...
Yeah little one is still whiny but not nearly as constant today. She definitely prefers snuggling with me but she’s doing much better! Baby chicks are funny! 😁
