So I did have some hatch I think I ended up with 18 out of 34 which isn’t great but I’ll take it. I’m going to give the rest of the eggs another day or so. We’ll see. :idunno But here are some of my fluffies!
Locked down 34 eggs tonight. Does anyone else get nervous that none will hatch or is it just me? Also found one of my hens sitting on some eggs today. That’s 2 broodies this week!
Sooo.... I had 10/18 eggs hatch this weekend after I stressed about my incubator going wonky the other day. I ended up sending that incubator back but happy I at least got 10 fluffy butts! 4 standard Cochin 1 showgirl and 5 silkies.
So upset right now! I have 18 eggs going into lockdown today and after I got everything ready my incubator malfunctioned somehow! The temp just kept spiking. I think the thermostat went out ! And it’s the first time I’ve used this one. It’s a hova bator 2370. I have another one identical to it I...
Not a very good hatch this weekend! Only 6/12 Cochin hatched and I had to help 3 of them out of their shells because they were stuck like glue. I did have 6/9 silkies hatch with no issues. What could cause them having so much trouble getting out of their eggs. I’ve had one or two in the past ...

Lock down was Thursday for me! 12 standard Cochin and 9 showgirl/ silkies! Woke up this morning and already had one baby! We went on a day trip today ( to pick up more eggs) :oops: :celebrate So I can’t wait to get home and see the progress!
I think everyone has a slightly different approach, but I would quickly pull out the dried off ones and put them in the brooder. I don’t like them climbing all over the eggs still hatching.
