~May 14th Hatch~~PICS~ - Page 2

I agree with you Wolf Queen, the wait is killing me! Have 4 bbs cochin, 4 frizzles, 2 bbs silkie, and 2 blrw in the bator due 5/25, have 10 definite wiggly embryo's   1 of the silkies and 1 of the cochin i think are duds.  But i can't tell you how nervous and excited i am, this is my second attempt, the first failed miserably   I am having a hard time keeping my fingers off of them, i want them to hatch now!  The closer to lockdown i get the worse it gets!

I have two hatches in lockdown as we speak on days 20 and 21.. and another going in lockdown tomorrow.

What I have..

Bator A: (not holding out hope for this batch )

8 Cuckoo Marans (out of 20 set) - One hatched thus far
3 Frisky project eggs (out of 4 set) - One hatched thus far
8 Lavender bantam Ameraucanas (out of 8 set) - Two hatched thus far.. one didnt make it as it didnt absorb its yoke sack and passed
2 Buff Orpingtons (out of 2 set)- One hatched and didnt make it.. didnt absorb its yoke sack

Bator B:

1 Silver Spangled Hamburg (out of 3 set)- Pipped
2 Golden Sebrights (out of 5 set)
11 Serama (out of 30 set)- One HATCHED and One is zipping
0 Silver Sebrights (out of 6 set)

Bator C: (this is what is in there now.. I will update when I candle and set in a few hours)

6 Buff Orpingtons (out of 10 set)
4 Cuckoo Maranas (out of 7 set)
1 Silver Sebrights (out of 24 set) I've had the WORST luck with sebrights

I have had really bad luck with shipped thus far and my % with shipped is 37% that have made it to lock down... uggggggggggg And really need some GOOD luck now that my power has just come back on after 3hrs.. uggggg

** edited to update... **

Well, so far I have 2 lav splits that hatched sometime during the night, 1 lav that just hatched, and a poor little lav that hatched yesterday but the broody decided to kill it, and 1 that the broody squished. Needless to say, all the other eggs she was sitting on got put in the incu yesterday. I have 2 that are pipping this morning.

I have 38 Americaunas(sp?) due today, May 14th! So far I haven't  seen or heard anything but when candled last they were all alive so maybe they'll be a little late...

I had a Sax/Rouen cross duckling hatch this morning, and several more are pipped and zipping....

I have 7 hatched so far and 4 more pips I have 4 giants, 1 leghorn,1cochin and 1 orp heres hoping the rest hatch. I had to take them out and put them in the brooder. This is the first time I put an egg flat in to hold the eggs. I like it but it doesnt leave much room when you have 7 babies popping around in there. They were starting to really move and stand up I was afraid they would touch the heater coil. I made sure the temps and humidity were high then quickly took them all out. The temp went down slightly , so did the humidity but it was back up within a minute or so.

I have 23 eggs and just 1 pip

I wish they would hurry up
the humidity is difficult to keep up it keeps falling below 60

I hate the wait
