November/December "Hatch-a-Long"

Well going on Day 10 and NO IDEA how my eggs are doing. I usually use a flashlight app for candling but with these Maran eggs all I really see is the air sack. 70 eggs in and hoping they're doing OK. I guess I'll know in another 10-12 days. Last batch started early on day 20 and finished early on day 22.

Quote: if it were me...and many will disagree....I would candle the late ones.
yes do wait 4 days at least before giving up
are you sure what your humidity is?
I have guineas due Thurs....I didn't add them to the incubator I use for hatching until today because I had an egg that was due sooner and then a chick

I candled them before I put them in and they are all in the air cell...when you candle you hopefully will see a shadow in the air cell..

I put my first ever Marans in on Saturday! they are so beautiful! I'm so excited about this hatch...well all of them but I'm adding breeds I don't have....anywho I've not candled Maran eggs before so it'll be interesting!!

best of luck!

the lady I bought the lakenvelder eggs from has offered to send me chicks instead of refunding my money...which I was surprised she offered...so I guess that would be okay...its not too hot for shipping live chicks!

....I might be with you...We think we have a broody hen.. should know for sure today........
and she will need eggs of course........ I have eggs but get bored with my own breeds..
I do have a BLRW roo with my mixed layer group but.....................will probably order something different...........
I'm kind of hooked on Silkies right now.

Day 19 for lock down. I do not think my 4 hr. power outage affected the eggs............They appear full of chicks.
