March hatch along

[guineagirl23]

Hey guys got a question. Candled my eggs a second ago, and a lot of the eggs have what looks like fluid moving the air cell. It always stays at the bottom, and when I turn the egg over it moves to the bottom again. I can see the chicks still moving in the older batch. It's not detached I'm almost positive, so what could be the problem?

On a better note, out of the 50 eggs (10 each under 5 hens) two hens have all 10 with veins starting (day 3 or 4) two have 9 (one is the hen with a batch further along; all have movement. In the other egg all have veining) and one hen has 7 still 6 with veins and 1 I'm unsure about.

Still wondering

Hello everyone, I set my first set on Feb. 22, and just went into (semi) lockdown lastnight but I have a second set that I will have to hand turn because I only have one bator. I can't wait until Saturday..... our eggs are a wide mix of breeds, so it will be fun to see what they look like once they start feathering. I have two roosters a Russian Orloff and one of his offspring that is a mix. My hens are Red Star, SLW, Ameracauna, Russian Orloff, Black Austalorp, BR, SS, Salmon Faverolle, White Silkie, Crested Polish and some mutts. I just love my girls and this is worse than waiting on Christmas. I keep looking at the eggs as if I can will them to hatch.... lol.

hahaha! I'm the same way, and I'm only on my second week!

Still wondering

Sorry I can't answer your question. Will you just let them go until they show signs of needing to be thrown out?

Patience....patience

How long is it usually between internal and external pip for chicks? Ducks take forever between every stage, maybe I'm assuming incorrectly that chicks do too.

Well I have one pipped and another egg rocking away. Hearing the peep has made it so exciting, but I wasn't expecting them to hatch until Saturday. I got these eggs from my sister-in-law, so can't wait to see. I have to admit that patience is not my virtue.

Awesome! Good luck!!

How exciting! I can't wait to see what they look like! What kind chickens are the prospective parents?

We're half way through our incubation here. Trying my hardest to keep my hands off the eggs! I got a little candle crazy the last week lol.
