I have about 20 pages to read to catch up, but I have 2 chicks out and 2 more pipped.  All that I put in were developing and went into lockdown, so fl.gif

Looks like I inadvertently have a mother's day chick who hatched. I set several of my own Araucana eggs to incubate, only three made it this far. One just kicked off its shell completely on a few minutes ago. The other two have pipped!

My backyard flock: 9 Araucana girls, 2 Araucana boys, 1 Olive Egger!

Happy Mother's Day to everyone!! I got home from town and found a new fuzzy butt in the incubator. It is from some eggs I got from ebay. Not sure what kind. It is black.

GLad the broody has been mored and you can relax a bit.

I was given these eggs & I have no idea what they are.  Someone gave my daughter's friend 59 eggs to hatch for her since she has had no luck doing so.  His incubator only holds 42 so he gave my daughter 17 eggs.   My broodie is a little silkie cross and I thought 17 was too many for her to sit on.  I took 7  for her and gave a friend the other 10 so her kids could hatch them (they bought an incubator just for these eggs).   

I still have 6 mystery chicks coming fl.gif

That makes sense about the calcium but I had not idea they took it from the shell.  I assumed they got everything from the yoke.  Little do I know.

I checked on the hen and she is sitting and happy.   That is my good news since I moved her & it could have upset her.   Just too much going on at once here.

I candled eggs last night for lock down today......out of 38 eggs, 20 were not fertile!!! I am so bummed out!! 6 of the remaining eggs are maran's & I can't tell if they are fertile or not so those numbers could be even higher! These eggs are going to hatch on or around my birthday this week & I was hoping for oodles & oodles of fuzz butts, but now I'll be lucky to get 18.

So bummed out!!
