My eggs were officially set yesterday (10th) around 1pm. Hatch a batch app is set to start counting today. Made their first hand turn this morning. I’m incubating in my usual homemade coolerbater. Dry run (humidity runs at 30% even then) hand turning 5x a day. Not holding my breath as I’m...

Incubator cleaned and getting back up to temp. Eggs reaching room temp (I refrigerate at 55) Setting 12 farm mix eggs tonight.

Stay safe! We are more inland but rain is imminent!

Good luck!!! How exciting :D

Did you ever go in to help and/or check? I hope all is well.

I s I sent you a PM

Thank you!!! Is this the shipped set you got?? How many made it to LD?

Well, I got 1 out of the 2. And 3 out of the next 4. The chicks who didn’t make it were malpositioned but my number of those went way down considering I’ve been having ALL malpositions for some reason the last few hatches. So, I’m happy. I have 4 more of my planned due to hatch this week coming...

I’m in. I’ll set on the 11th since my bantams are apparently all hatching on the 19th and my bantam/standard mix eggs on the 20th day lol

Good luck!!!

My aversion after a hatch is more about “dang it, I could have hatched this one!” For a few days then I get over it. But I do understand how you feel. It will pass. Or just eat eggs when you’re not in your hatching season?

Good Luck!

Little fluff ball!

I wouldn’t on purpose. Sometimes they slip in and they hatch. Mostly they do not. And hatching can be heart breaking enough even with the best of circumstances. If you do decide to, I know a few on here have done it successfully so start there. But also do all the assisting research you can...

Yay!! It’s always so exciting!!

The update y’all have been waiting for! Or not haha Been very sick and very busy.. the two chicks due last weekend BOTH DIS AGAIN! Fully formed, absorbed and malpositioned... again... with 3 other staggered hatches I was about to just throw the whole damn incubator in the trash and just give...

Yes Lord yes! I am a mom and stepmom of seven and I tell you what there are days I’d rather go hide in the chicken coop

I agree lol

The two are still wiggling in and off. All 7 kids are here this weekend (I have 4 bonus kids) so they’ll be on 24 hour watch since they’re teens and don’t follow bedtime rules :rolleyes: if this small hatch goes along the well established time line of eggs from these two hens it is possible...

From everything I see from members about shipped eggs it is advisable to not turn until day 3. And YES on pointy end down. Never put an egg intended for hatching narrow side up. Great luck to you!
