Ok I'm curious how did it go? I used the LG this time around and without the fan, I kept it at the temp the thermometer provided and made sure the room temp did not fluctuate. I had 10 eggs, 8 survived and I had to assist all but 1 or 2. One hatched on it's own for sure I can't remember...
I would keep an eye on it. I didn't update in my other post because I just haven't yet but my two eggs I had left I went ahead and opened them to see what happened. I feel terrible. Both completely formed, they both had shells that were super hard. I should of helped them when they were rocking...

cross your fingers for me, doing the water test as a last resort with these two eggs. it's day 23 we shall see! you must post pics of your little ones and let me know how it goes. I think from now on I will only incubate my own eggs, I ordered barred rocks and DID NOT get what I...
This was my first hatch too, eight of then 10 are all healthy and eating and drinking this is their 2 1/2 day alive. No signs of anything bad, keeping a close eye on them. The reason being, only 2 of the 8 pipped,zipped and hatched in their own. It was amazing to watch but I noticed the other...

Thank you Lisa. I don't know what the 2nd girl sent me now, I ordered "10 barred rock chickens hatching eggs" and here is the picture she had on ebay similar to this
Ok the supposed BR lady wrote on her eggs, the Delaware lady didn't. I have hatched out some of both because I...
Delawares? I'm so confused. I looked online and don't get it. Is there a difference between Plymouth barred rocks and Barred rocks? I ordered Plymouth barred rocks but all my chicks are yellow? Online it shows the plymouth barred rocks to be grayish. one of the last eggs to hatch was from the...

Aww hon I'm so sorry! Goodness gracious, the chick didn't suffer thats the important part. But what on earth was wrong with it? I noticed you never got an answer? Wonder if it was part of it's intestines?
Sending you a lot of hugs you did the right thing. I'm sorry it didn't go very well you had the right intentions. I name all my chickens, I can't help it I'm too mothering, would of been crying myself if I were in your shoes.
Thank you everyone! The bad egg lol, is my only Barred Rock that made it, cross your fingers this one pulls through. I have two more eggs in the bator but they are both delawares also, who knows after court today I may come home to a few suprises!

When I candled this particular egg it was extremely porus and then later I couldn't see much movement but 'thought' I saw something so gave it a chance. But the shell got a wierd color kind of ashy if that makes sense and I never saw it move one single time... no peeps no nothing. I...
