Setting eggs 6-18 anyone with me

[RyeRanch]

Of the 5 legbar eggs I have left I think 2 look good and the other three seem like they may have pooped out. I will keep them in and see what happens. C'mon little chickies...keep going!

RyeRanch, Don't give up on the 3. You never know, they could surprise you! I have several eggs that have always looked like just a dark mass but on my last candling, 2 were alive and kicking around. I thought sure they were bad but kept them in the bator and glad I did. I sure hope yours keep on keeping on!

We had power outages here too and I keep thinking "what else?"!! What are you hatching litehook? You just mentioned that a friend brought you some eggs. How many have made it so far? Hope you see fuzzy butts next week!

Haven't heard from most of you. If you get a chance, please let us know how your hatch is doing, how candling went and any news. I'd love to read anything you have to say!

I just candled my 6 eggs that I was pretty sure weren't growing. I was right, they were all duds. Some scrambled, some died early on, I think 1 was not fertile. Still have 6 in there. Candled a random one friday night and saw little chickie moving in there. I haven't decided if I'm going to candle again before lockdown. I probably will when we go to lockdown, since I have to take them out anyways to get the egg turner out of there.

I found my GLW secret laying spot. Found 11 eggs up under my shed (about 8 ft back there).

Tomorrow will get the mesh put up around the shed. My girls won't get to go up under there anymore to cool off. I did get misters installed this weekend too, so that'll help with the heat.

i looked at about 30 of my 41 eggs and seen movement in at least 25 of them. i put the last 7 eggs in later so i will look at them the day before or the day of lock down when i move the others i have a total of 41 in the bator

Good Luck all
