24 Orpington Eggs in the bator -6 week update

[Yogiman]

16 out of 24 can't be all bad. I would probably accept far less than that just for the experience. Don't know how much longer I can accept no having a bator.
What kind of orps are they? I almost hope you don't tell me "blue".
Here's wishing you a good hatch.

Not too shabby, Priss!

I am hoping for the best.

My hatch rate will be based on the 16 that are clearly developing now. Yes?

 

[speckledhen]

You only use the eggs that started developing in your hatch rate. If they candled clear and you never saw any development, that egg doesn't count against the hatch rate.

They are Blue/Black/Splash.....

This is one reason I haven't started selling eggs just yet...testing the waters and the pullets just started laying the end of Dec....I do have acouple older hens so hoping you will have a decent hatch...

I candled last night.

14 eggs showing good movement.

I moved them out of the turner and the temp is boosted to 70% this morning.

This will be a very long weekend!

Come on, little chickies! Do your thing!

Be patient and NO opening the bator!!!

I promise my hands are off!
