    I have rose comb RIR'S in the incubator, 29 eggs looking viable. Hatch day is Saturday, wish us luck! This is our first year trying to hatch, only got 2 chicks from our first hatch, so hoping for better results this time!

    We candled our eggs tonight. Pulled out 11 and left in 29. They are heritage Rhode Islans Reds. My air cells seemed smaller than the picture above, not sure what that could mean? We go into lockdown tomorrow evening.

    We set 45 rose comb Rhode Island reds yesterday. Hoping for better success than I had in the NYD hatch! We have 4 chicks out of 45, but I learned I had them upside down in the turner.

    A couple of my chicks have chicken poo stuck to their butts. Any suggestions on best way to clean without ripping off their fluff?

    One of my hatched chicks rolled the eggs that. Just pipped so the pip is on the bottom. Wondering if I should reach in and turn the egg.

    2 chicks hatched overnight, and I have 1 in the brooder. 1 more has pipped and is working on hatching. The one in the brooder had a huge piece of shell stuck on his back and he wasn't drying off, so we helped get the shell off and put him in the brooder.

    We have our first pip and are still hearing cheeping. Set 45 eggs, pulled 11 on about day 15. We saved eggs for about 3 weeks, so some were not fertile.

    4th Annual BYC NYD Hatch-a-long

    I thought mine were goners, as we had to set early in the day, 7:00 am, and I still had nothing happening. So I tried someone's suggestion to tap the bator, and we all could hear cheep, cheep, cheep! More patience I guess, better get the brooder ready!:)

    Nothing happening with my eggs, hopefully they will still hatch. -22 outside this morning, maybe they are worried they would have to go outside.
