Setting eggs, anyone want to join me? Hatch-Along

[howfunkyisurchicken]

Maybe try shinning a heat lamp on the bator and see if it helps...what kind of bator do you have?

I just went and checked the temp, and its already back up to 100°, so the towel did the job. Its one of those cheap Styrofoam LG jobbies. During the day its maintaining temps just fine, so I guess tonight I'll cover it up and check on it a few times to make sure it doesn't get too hot. I've never used it when its been this cold, but I should've figured it would have issues...oh well. Guess I'll have to wait and see if they hatch!

Rehoming? is it a roo?

Yes, but I'm not keeping any of them. I think I've found a home for them, we'll see if they follow through this weekend!

I have some rockers? You guy's think they'll hatch this evening? They are due today!

 

[howfunkyisurchicken]

Rockers are good! When did you set them? I've noticed if I set at night, most usually hatch at night (and I miss it), if I set in the afternoon they usually hatch in the day time... for you and your chicks!!!!

They were set in the afternoon can't remeber exactly when and they are on their last day, 21. So hopefully I get some pips soon!

I've been averaging 10-12 hrs after the first pip on my chicks then the zip goes fast

Your chicks will be a little late because your temp was lower than normal. For me I had to schedule things for myself during the day so that I wouldn't stare all day
