    Here's an earlier picture before I took the shell out--you can kind of see in there in the back

    Mystery chick

    No, that was the only dark egg in the bunch. This one hatched from a standard light brown/tan egg.

    Utah!

    @sideWing Just thought you might want to see the cute chick we got from your eggs. Thanks so much again for them! I wish more could have hatched, (5 were clear at day 10, and this last 1 in there is darker shelled so it's hard for me to see inside) but the kids at school were so excited to see...

    Here's my mystery chick that hatched--I posted over on the breed page for ideas on what it might be. From a barnyard mix with a BCM roo over a bunch of breeds. Any ideas? We'll move it to the brooder tomorrow morning probably. I'm still hopeful the other egg will hatch, but it's too dark to...

    Mystery chick

    This chick just hatched during the night. It came from a barnyard mix I picked up from someone in my area, with a BCM Roo over a bunch of breeds. This little chick has feathers on the feet, but the feet aren't black, so I was curious if anyone has an idea what the mutt might be? Sorry for...

    The teacher called me this morning and said the chick hatched during the night! I'm sad the kids all missed it, but so happy. There is 1 more egg in there but I'm unsure if it was even viable, it's such a dark egg. I'll post pictures later today!

    Ok, I'm holding back. Not intervening. The chick is fine and doing what it needs to do. First time hatching so I'm all nervous something is going to go terrible wrong. Deep breaths here.

    I HAVE AN INTERNAL PIP!! (Yes, I did need all caps for that ) One egg is had a shell too dark to see, but the other one has an internal pip I could see when I candled today (day 22), and the chick was breathing and we saw the beak open a bit. How long should I let it be like that? Should I...

    Utah!

    I have a silver laced wyondotte. She is very pretty. My goal when I started out last year was just to make sure I had different chickens so I could tell them apart, and hopefully be able to tell who was laying when! We have a black sexlink, a SL wyondotte, and . . . something else, I can't...

    I'll give it another day, I may try candling super quick tomorrow morning before the kids show up to class and see if anything is going on. At least the temp has been perfect the whole time! I'm not sure the humidity was that high the whole time, I think the first week (ish) it was only one...

    Utah!

    I think she means she has 4 human little boys, not four roosters At least, that's what I gathered!

    Where do you check the humidity? Do I need to scroll through the programming to find it? It just shows temp, days left, and if it's turning on the screen. And yes, I filled both wells for lock down, and I think the teacher was filling both throughout the whole procress. There is definitely...

    Utah!

    Morning everyone! Happy spring! TOday is day 21 for my eggs and I'm on pins and needles. I only have 2 that were developing (out of 7) but I wasn't able to candle before lockdown. They're in a classroom at my kid's school. This morning I didn't see anything significant. No pips or...

    Question for you experts. Today is day 21 for my eggs. I'm using a Brinsea Mini Advanced, and on day 18 I filled the reservoir full, removed the turner and locked them down. They are in a classroom at my child's school and I wasn't able to candle before I locked down. There are 2 eggs...

    Utah!

    Ooh, I might be interested in a few of your EE. I've got two barnyard mixes hatching this weekend and was hoping to add 2-3 more other chicks with them around the same time. And I was hoping for a colored egg layer! I'm near UVU.

    5 of the 7 were clear, but 2 were growing!! The dark egg was hard to see, but the dark space inside was similar to the other egg that was good, so I'm just going to keep it in there. We even saw the chick MOVE inside the lighter egg which was so awesome. I'm going to candle it tomorrow for...

    Today is day 9 and I'm planning on checking all eggs today in the classroom, since I didn't get a chance to look at more than a few before I was crowded by kids on Monday morning :) The 2 I looked at were clear though, if they're still clear today I should toss them right? I need to see veining...

    Woohoo!! I've got some eggs going in one of my kid's classes right now and the kids are over the moon about those eggs. Such a learning experience!

    Gah, I just picked up a flashlight yesterday, just a cheap $5 one at Lowes (because I knew my kids would steal it!!) and I googled the lumens... 40. 40 lumens. That's not going to help me much! Back to the hardware store I guess! My girls have been like this lately! I don't usually let...
