Did you have any luck with hatching?

Little Hope a week old- Pekin Bantam Frizzle- please be a girl- the chicken I've been waiting for!!!

Destiny, faith and hope ❤️

So 3 out of the 7 hatched. The others look to be mostly fully grow but never made it out :( I gave them an extra week but never made any progress. I am so amazed that I got 3! Thank you again all for your encouragement and advice

3rd one has hatched I'm going against all the rules so u candled the remaining 4- 1 looks like it has died- 1 little pekin bantam is still alive and looks healthy but I'm thinking still a couple days off... the Easter egger looks good but hard to see in- the wheaten Maran the shell is way too...

yeah i guess so :) still cant believe it! I set the eggs under my broody Tuesday 23/5 in the afternoon, took them from the box on Tuesday 13/6 in the afternoon, put them into look down and 2 hatched on the 19/6 with hopefully a couple more ;). The 2 that have hatched so far seem perfectly...

And another has peeped!

Said I would keep you posted this is what I would up to this morning! Omg!!! I can not believe it!

So hard knowing what to do- the funny thing is I had 20 eggs in my incubator- I put 13 of them into lockdown (4not fertile) and had 12 eggs hatch out on Monday/Tuesday... I wasn't even worried about the 6 I had under my broody and had them as a back up How wrong I was lol

Oh it is just so hard to decide what to do- I think I'm just going to leave it as it is and keep my fingers crossed for a miracle. With the rolling I hope that my broody would have done that part for the first (guessing) 13-15days of development and hopefully that's enough so they don't get...

I will definitely keep you all posted I will be so amazed if I get any hatch!

Thank you wicked chicken- yeah they have been in lockdown since I took over ;) humidity is at 65%... I was thinking too about Day 18... at least there is still hope

I have movement!!!! Omg I can't believe it- now I'm worried about the humidity ??? Ekkk fingers crossed... how far along do you guys think?

Ok great thank you chocolate mouse! I will try candling them and see how we go from there. So hard knowing what to do

Ok great! I held onto the hope that the veins were still there and hadn't ringed... should I candle again or just leave them for a few more days?? Can anyone think of a reason for the delayed hatch?? Also if they have died could I tell from candling?
