September Hatch-A-Long

[HeatherO]

I set 15 only nine made it to lockdown..two hatched two pipped and five nothing so far and its day 22..I made a homemade incubator everything worked well but had a couple of nights where my temps fell to 97..so hoping that didn't hurt the other 5.

I don't think the temps hurt,lower it better than higher in most cases. But could be why they are late. You could just end up with later hatched from the 97* but I woke up with some morning it being 95. day 20 and had 1 hatch it just depends. Give them some time

I will...patience is def a virtue! I have tried way to hard to give up so easily

And then there were 12......

Did a candling and pulled 3 clear (Marans) and one Day 12 quitter (Marans). So now I just have 12 eggs (all alive and kicking) at Day 16 on their way to hatching on the 27th:

5 Crested Cream Legbars
3 Wheaten Marans
3 Trader Joe's eggs
1 sex-link EE (CCL x RIR) (better be a girl!)

Praying to the hatching gods that they all make it and at least half are pullets!

That's soo awesome. I can't get that clear of a picture. I'm on day 13 and can't wait to candle them again. I set 25 eggs but 3 were clear, 1 blood ring and 1 quitter. I have enjoyed reading everyone's experience and seeing all of the pictures. I'm excited and ready for day 21.
