Eggs In the Incubator

[Hawk12]

Hi Everyone, I'm new to BYC and I just wanted to share my excitement about my incubating chicken eggs. Today is day 14 and I'm growing impatient. I ordered the eggs from Florida and I'must in Idaho so I am really praying for a successful hatch. The eggs are from blue partridge brahmas. Not sue if I will end up with a mixed hatch because I don't know what color the rooster was. Either way I can't wait to see the new babies. I will post more as the day gets closers if anyone is interested. Thanks for reading

Thank you for the feedback I already thought about getting him a friend. I do have a hen that loves babies for some reason so I might see if she will take the chick too. There are some barred rock chicks for sale that are close to me

Hi! I'm new here too! How are the incubating the eggs doing? I just started today and I would like to get some tips that could be very helpful.

I would recommend you check out @AmyLynn2374 's dry incubation method--she is a pro at incubation and is extremely helpful Hope your hatch is successful! Please keep us updated with how your eggs are doing! You may want to start a new thread.

Just checked temperature and humidity in the incubator and there was a rancid smell in there. Candled the eggs and 2 were dead. Down to 14 from 20 and still a week to go

Update: Just put the eggs in lockdown. Humidity is climbing but slowly. Currently only at 43%. I'll check it in the morning and see where its at. Everything else looks good. Babies should start hatching Saturday Keeping my fingers crossed.
