    Set eggs 5/18 - whose with me?

    I'm sorry to hear that several of us didn't get the results we were hoping for. I set 13 BO's and only 3 of them hatched. One was really pitiful when he made it out. He just laid on the bottom of the wire mesh all day on day one. He couldn't stand up. The next day he wasn't any better. I tired...

    Set eggs 5/18 - whose with me?

    Well, today is day 20. I have 6 that are pipped an chirping. There are some others that are rocking back and forth. The first one started this morning around 3 am. The very end of his beak is poking out of the shell and the hole is getting bigger but he hasn't started zipping yet. He looks like...

    Set eggs 5/18 - whose with me?

    How cute are they? That is just precious. I haven't seen any progress on mine as of yet. I am not feeling very certain about 11 of my BO's. So I guess I am in a really wait and see situation. They are supposed to make an appearnace Saturday. Good luck everyone.

    Oh please post one if you can. We don't have any broody hens. There is one that will hide an egg though. When I open the door to collect the eggs, there are normally 6-8 eggs. When you turn your back to place them in the egg basket, one will be missing. I have watched one of them roll an egg...

    Set eggs 5/18 - whose with me?

    Addictive is putting it mildly. I am not sure what comes after addictive but whatever it is, that's what hatching has turned in to for me. The hubby said last night, "Step away from the eggs" It's kind of like Christmas, you just don't know what surprises there may be. I hope that your eggs get...

    Set eggs 5/18 - whose with me?

    That will be a perfect solution. I have two closets that I could possibly use for that very purpose. I am sorry to hear about your Clarets. Is this the first time that you have hatched this breed? I was just wondering if that's normal for that breed to just quit so close to being ready to...

    head shaking- whats wrong?

    I was just searching for an answer also and found this thread. I have a one week old BO that is shaking his head quite a bit and kind opening his beak as if he wants to yawn. We got him from the local feed store and he is inside for now in a box by himself until he is big enough to move in with...

    matlock585- That sounds good. I will keep that in mind for the brown shells. Thanks for the tip. I'm sorry that you didn't have better results with your mille's. gabrielle1976- 15 out of 17 is great in my opinion. I decided that if I even got a few to hatch my first time out, I would be happy...

    Set eggs 5/18 - whose with me?

    Well I candeled a few of the white shelled eggs last pm and there was lots of activity. I was so proud that I could barely stand myself.The brown shelled eggs could have had something going on or it could have been my imagination. Just a wait and see operation. I hope everyone else is having...

    Set eggs 5/18 - whose with me?

    I am in for sure. This is my first attempt at incubation. I am soooo excited .

We have 13 bo, 12 pearl white leghorn and 11 surprises...
