March 2022 Hatch-A-Long

[Poodlemum]

I had one of those baskets too!!! I wish I held onto it when my parents divorced a lot of stuff got lost.

Oh nooooo, I’m so sorry! That’s really difficult

The first chicks are hatching. I got about 6 or 7 hatched already. Day 21 is tonight. This is a picture of the very first one.

Sebastopol eggs went into lockdown yesterday. 10/14 Bielefelder going into lockdown in 3 days and 12/15 Crele Orpington showed definite signs of life at only 3 days incubation already - we set them on the 3rd.

Set 5 shipped ripple Muscovy eggs on March 1st but the eggs were so badly beaten up, there’s been no development at all at 6 days I am probably going to pull them when I am in the incubator again to put the Bielefelder in lockdown later this week

I just set 9 eggs for march 18th hatch

I have 12 eggs on the counter and they're looking good this morning I candled them and they have veins and arteries so far so good humidity in the house is 30% and I turned the eggs by hand in My hands 2x a Day I have gloves on when I turn them and they have heat from my hen and My stove top also.

So are they just on the bench in your kitchen?

Help is day 21, only 3 eggs are in lockdown ..i see movement but they look way Like day 18 not day 21

If they are still alive they are okay. May have just incubated at cooler temp, all digital themometers can mislead

You are right they look a little little small. If it were me, I would not add humidity until I see an internal PIP.

Sorry your Muscovy eggs didn’t make it.
