    Best of luck with your hatch! Just out of curiosity, why are you not turning? Is it because they are shipped eggs?

    Well, the last 2 eggs never hatched so that means I ended up with 4/6. The 4 chicks are doing well, even the small one which seems to have perked up a bit today; hope I am not jinxing it. 🤞 They are barnyard mixes; the yellow one looks to be half Orpington and the small one is probably half...

    Waiting on the last 2 eggs to hatch. Yesterday they had internal pips so I was expecting some external pips today but nothing🤷‍♀️ I guess I will give them a couple more days and see. These are eggs that were left on the nest when my MIL’s broody hen got up, so they may have had problems from...

    Great to see all the chicks! Mine have started hatching also. I was predicting a staggered hatch based on what I saw when I candled, but it hasn’t been too bad. One hatched yesterday morning, one last night, and 2 today. So I now have 2 in the brooder, 2 drying off in the bator and 2 still in...

    I’m baaack…for my 5th hatch this year. My MIL had a broody hen quit sitting, so she gave me the eggs to throw in my incubator. So I have 6 in there, they look to be about 12 days along. She has Swedish Flowers and Buff Orps I think, so the chicks should be those or a mix.

    So I hatched 5 eggs on the incubator and gave the chicks to the hen. She hatched 2 herself and her last egg is now zipping. So she will be taking care of 8 babies! She looks a bit stressed; hope she is big enough to keep 8 chicks warm. She is a bantam Cochin; a bit bald right now from the rooster.

    Well my Broody’s eggs were supposed to hatch last Sunday but they still have not. One got crushed somehow and I removed one that was covered in poop from the hen pooping in the nest. I picked the remaining 3 up to candle them and one of them chirped! They had internal pips so I put them back...

    My broody hen is doing great in the shed. She was upset when we spent the day cleaning out her shed, and got off the eggs for an hour or so, so I grabbed a couple and candled them. One was clear but the other was developing so I gave it back to her. She is sitting on 5 now. So I have been...

    My hatch is over; I ended up with 15 Swedish Flower chicks and 3 DIS. I have been wanting more blue chicks this year so I was happy to get 9 blues in this hatch! It’s like the ocean in there😁 Will post pics later.

    Day 21, 8 chicks are out and I have 2 pips, one at the wrong end. Some of the chicks are desperate to get out of the incubator 😅

    Ok looks like I will be hatching again for the 4th month in a row. I have never hatched so much before 😂 One of my bantam Cochins went broody and I decided to let her hatch. I moved her to a cage in the shed with a cat litter box for her to sit in, and she seems to be staying broody so I will...
