In the beginning I had temp spikes and it freaked me out. At one point I thought for sure I'd cooked them. I was blowing in one hole trying to push air out the other. Afterwards I thought I may have introduced a lot of bacteria that way. I realized that my spikes were due to the...
They have been turned with an automatic turner in said electric chair. Everything is looking pretty good today. Im hoping for a 50% hatch.
Thanks for your response!
So, interestingly, I set-up my first lockdown last night. I wanted to make sure I had everything perfect. I had cut up an egg carton and cleaned it, planning on hatching my eggs with them upright due to them being shipped and 2 having detached, saddle shaped air cells. I candled again for the...
My air cells are at about day 18 examples given by Sally. There has been no "draw down" yet, I believe, because my air cells are pretty similar to what they were a week ago. I'll attach picture.
My concern is that when I tilt one of the eggs, I can see clear liquid moving past the membrane, or...
Hi everyone! Tomorrow is lockdown on my first hatch. Just a recap, I had large air cells at day 10 and I realized it thanks to Sally's links she offered to me. I increased humidity and just candled. Only one has had any growth of air cell, and its minimal. I was told they looked like day 18 air...
Yes. She did. Thats why I felt like it was off. I thought it looked like it was more than a day 14.
Bantychooks, I just ordered some off Amazon and Im waiting. I wasnt aware of the LG issues with humidity until I was already up and running. I have multiple thermometers, but didnt get a...
Hi Hatching Gurus! I hope you don't mind me jumping on to ask questions during my first hatching experience. I've tried to keep up with your guys's posts, but given my life currently, I can't keep up! I literally have over a thousand unread posts in just a few nights! Wowzer!
Today is day 10 in...
That sounds wonderful too! But my imagination has me now drooling and thinking about how to make savory waffles. I'll have to do some internet recipe searching! Thanks for the welcome!
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous! I have to stop falling in love with all of these breeds. Chicken math is catching...
Awesome! Thanks so much! I have 1 detached air cell and 1 partially detached, but they look the same as the other 2 as of now. I'm definitely learning a lot! I don't think I'll do shipped eggs again though. :/
Hey friends. I am new to hatching/candling and am on day 6 with shipped eggs. I set 6 eggs. This morning 1 was clear and I had 1 blood ring. Opened them up and they were scrambled from shipping. I was kind of expecting it from when I first candled. I saw bubbles in them.
However, on my other 4...
Hi guys! Im Cara. A newbie. Going to try and join your group. I was told it moves fast, but Wow! Had no idea! Lol. I put my first eggs in the bator today. 6 BR. Going Chooks dry method. Got an LG still air, so really crossing my fingers. I did a lot of reading the past coupke weeks, so hoping my...
