I've got 12 cream legbar/California grey crosses and 12 bantam bbs cochins in the bator. Two weeks left to go!

Yes, they'll be hatching BBS. People around here do that with all the breeds. Call them blue. I think because their hens doing the laying are blue? I was confused when I first encountered it with Marans and thought I was getting all blue! Lol.

Just put 12 Blue bantam Cochin eggs in the incubator last night. Never had bantams or Cochins before so I'm looking forward to these babies in three weeks.

For duck eggs that aren't Muscovy, when do you stop the hatch. Today is day 28 for me. 3 of 6 hatched yesterday and nothing today, no pips. Should I give another day?

End of day 27 and I have three out of six duckies hatched. Humidity has stayed steady at 72%.

Mine is being pretty consistent through several hatches. Only thing is I have to set the innovator's temp to 101 to get it to an actual 99 degrees. I check it every time with another gauge for at least 24 hours. Other than that, works well and turner is still working good. Have some ducks on...

It's cute whatever it is.

I'm hatching my first set of ducks and am currently in lockdown mode. They're due Monday and humidity is sitting at 73%. I hope I get a couple to hatch. I have 8 and 7 weee definitely fertile. One more I think is questionable, it may have quit, but I left it in there anyway....just in case...

Thank you

I have some barnyard mix (barred rock over black australorp and Rhode Island Red) chicks in with my isbars that I hatched altogether. Not smart on my part. Mostly black chicks and possibly 2 or 3 black isbar that I can't pick out. In time, will it be easy to pick out the isbars from my mixed...

Just finishing up day 23 in the bator. Had a barnevelder hatch this morning. Was going to pull the plug in the remaining eggs, opened up the lid to pull eggs out and noticed an egg pipping... Hopefully this little one isn't too weak. Altogether for this hatch, 13/15 of my own barnyard mix...

Apparently I have a hawk that has started visiting as of today. Took the heads off one of my blue marans. Guess he'll have to be relocated...

Up to 75% for my Barnevelders and 55% for my isbars for shipped eggs using "dry" method. My own barnyard mix, I had 13/15 hatch.

My shipped eggs are from the same shipment. I have 5/11 (45%) on my isbars and 2/4 (50%) on my Barnevelders. Another barnevelder was just pipping as I was leaving for work this morning. So with any luck that one will be out when I get home and make 75% hatch rate for them. Today will be...

Getting a little nervous. Last hatch I heard peeping on Saturday with hatch day for Monday. Same this time around and haven't heard a single peep yet....

We live in Harrodsburg, just down the road.

Went into lockdown last night, technically it was day 17. Something kept nagging me to do it, so I did. Live Mas?! 16 shipped eggs and 15 of my own barnyard mix. I'm waiting patiently to hear little peeps! Tried the "dry incubating" method for first time also. Hope I didn't stretch too...

Anyone else have any thoughts on going into lockdown on day 17? Will it hurt anything?

I'm on day 17 trying this dry incubation hatch; first time. Humidity has fluctuated 30%-45%. Going into lockdown tomorrow and bumping to 65-70%. Have 16 shipped eggs and 15 barnyard mix of my own. *fingers crossed for a descent hatch rate*
