    Mandarins - Hatcher Day 28 - Bad Vibes

    Thanx Folks - would still like some more thoughts. Yeah - they were in a HovaBator with the turner. I misted them several times daily thru the hatch, but not in the 3 days they have been in the hatcher. That Day 29-30 thingy makes me feel a bit better. The main reason I feel dread is how...

    Mandarins - Hatcher Day 28 - Bad Vibes

    5 eggs, all were moving fine when I candled on Day 23. I posted on Day 25 when I put them in the hatcher, I saw NO MOVEMENT on Day 25, everyone said not to worry, there was no room to move in the egg. Technically, Day 28 started at 10:30p last night, it is now late in the afternoon, no peeping...

    What is lockdown?

    Thanx Yeah - it seems that you would have to open to add water and maintain humidity!

    What is lockdown?

    Is this when the eggs are put in the hatcher? Does it mean you can't candle them until hatch?

    Mandarin eggs Day 25 - No movement - Advice PLEASE!

    I'm just sick about this. When I transferred to the hatcher yesterday, I candled the 5 eggs and there was no movement I could see. They have always been active little critters, until now. They are in the hatcher, but I have an awful feeling about the outcome. Any thoughts? Thanx

    Should I plan the funeral?

    1st timer here. It's day 25 on my 5 Mandarin eggs in the incubator. I candled them 2 days ago, they were moving, the air sack was about right, needless to say, I was pretty excited.

    Position of eggs in a hatcher - What to Do?

    1st timer here! I have 5 Mandarin eggs going in the hatcher in two days, all are alive and kicking today. Question: when I remove them from the egg turner, should I put them in an egg carton and keep them little end down or lay them on their side? Does it matter? Many Thanx!
