INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[HeatherMarieR]

I'm taking a break from standing over the incubator to feed my other animals. Cows swimming in the ocean?

I like to say silly things. A dog is a giraffe. A deer is a hamster. A horse is a gerbil. And... Cows swim in the ocean, while fish fly.
I was at a local store, and couldn't get rid of my hiccups. A woman asked me what swam in the ocean. I told her cows. She was baffled, but my hiccups were gone.
A week later, while on a motorcycle group ride, there were a bunch of cows wading in the river. I now have proof that cows are what others call fish!

Day 33 on the 11 Muscovy Eggs... Looks like there are 2 or 3 internal pips, but many of the eggs look like they're a good five days behind. Definitely need to sort out the heat problems 

-Kathy

Good luck! I have some shipped Muscovies eggs that go into lockdown Monday. I've never had any luck with them.

Good luck to you, too. This is my second attempt... Last time all died in the last week.

This is my 3rd attempt. Last time I waited too late to put them into lockdown. I thought I had read day 33, but now I'm ready around day 30.

J&TRanch 1/12/16 12 self blue Cochin bantams (shipped) day 3 (going to candle today to see how many are viable).... And 18 eggs arriving in the mail tomorrow @J&Tranch My shipped self blue bantam Cochins are doing good. I had to throw out a stinker and a seeper

So out of those 10 remaining, 7 are developing nicely

They're on day 7. I ended up receiving 16 shipped from GA, they looked good considering the single digit temps- only 3 saddles and none cracked. They're on day 3 today, will candle Wednesday maybe.
Saris My hatch is done 6 DIS 24 chicks outonly had to help one out of the shell when it got stuck zipping. Hooray!
TJ Believe it or not, there are two developing from this mess! I had to wash them in hot water to get all the slime off and they have saddle cells, but I'm giving them the best chance I can. Probably won't ever turn them. So, the new batch was packed a bit better and nothing was broken, but out of 8 eggs, 4 are saddle cells and 4 are completely rolling. Set them all anyways

Hawk12 have 7 blue/gold partridge brahma chicks in the incubator on day 15. Candled last night and things look pretty good. Air cells might be a little small. I lost 5 from this hatch due to a temp spike on day 3

I emailed the gal I bought them from to let her know my progress and she sent me a dozen more for the cost of shipping. That was very sweet of her to do knowing it wasn't her fault or even the PO but my faulty incubator. I'll be setting those eggs tomorrowDay 15, 7 eggs.

This is my 3rd attempt. Last time I waited too late to put them into lockdown. I thought I had read day 33, but now I'm ready around day 30.

I was torn on this because the majority look so far behind. The first one to pip looks like I lost way too much weight, and the majority look like they didn't lose enough. Sigh...

I'll get some candling pictures later.
