First attempt at hatching, Black Marans...Update with better Pics!!!!

[Chix-in-GA]

I have 8 black marans in the bator for my first ever hatch.
Its only day 11 and I am already freekin out!

Sheesh how do you guys do it without going stir crazy. Is the temp right, Is the humidity OK, Did I turn them enough, Did they get handled bad during shipping...OMG?!?!?!?!?!

The eggs are so dark it was hard to see anything while candleing!

I guess I will see the day after x-mas if I did everything right.

Good luck, TJ! It never gets easier for me. I'm obsessive about checking every little thing 25 times a day. Hope they hatch well for you. When they do, you'll be soooooo hooked!

You started with marans?? Wow, you are brave!

I hope they do well for you, and yes, it is nerve racking!!

I'm on day 9 and in the same shape as you.

I'm hoping I get my eggs via priority from pasofino(Melissa) tomorrow and they will immediately go under our broody Partridge Rock.... So I get to wait until January 8th or 9th!!

The Guys at work call me "The Chicken Whisperer"...

I just keep on talking...and they just keep on listening (with a slightly glazed over look)

Its an addiction...not much you can do about it...
