This is maddening! I ended up with 8 babies. Helped 3 out of the shell. Last night the bator came UNPLUGED the last three were froze this morning, saved 2 by floating in hot water. Started with 29 eggs and now have 8 babies.
I will try to post pics, they are soooooo cute with high vaults, Oh...
Well babie count I think is 5 out of 29 started. Had to leave the hatch, and go to the cardioligist 4 hours away. When I left this morning I had 2, so 3 more must of hatch DH report. I told him DO NOT TOUCH THE BATOR. There alright, until I get home tomorrow. I hope.
I sure would chick sit for ya if I was any where close, but your a few states away. So far I have 4 pips out of 14 that looked like they might make it. Started with 30 shipped eggs. hoping for more.
Got 2 pips!!!! This is killin me. I have yet to have any luck with shipped eggs. I did incubate 30 eggs one time and got 1 Marens rooster, $30 bird. He was "challenged" poor fella.
Got up this morning with DH @ 5:00 to check the egg's. Still NADA, ZIP, NOTHING. Well 23. 24. days I may be in a rubber room. With hair pulled out. Last time I candled (which I have little or no experience) I couldn't see through the eggs, and there was a air cell.
