I was really hoping on the EE eggs hatching...but oh well, Ill just have to try again ...
Anyway, here are some pictures of the chicks so you guys can see a close up!!!
The 4 grey chicks
2 of them...this was cute
Black chick #2
Black chick #1
Yellow face
And the chick from...
I checked out the rest of the eggs today - I had 9 of siz's left, and one of mine...
Out of the 6 green eggs, 4 were empty, one looks like it quit between day 7 and 10, and the last looks like it quit on day 18. The brown eggs all look like they quit on day 18, as did my white egg....
Any...
From when I checked around 5pm, there were no pips still. I'll try to candle them though when I get home! The green ones I just took a guess on if there was anything in there, but it did look like there was...
Hopefully they are just slow
I'm giving them till saturday before I start cracking...
Thanks!
Everyone that was pipped has hatched out already - 12 cute little fuzzies All are siz's exept 1.
Nothing on the 6 green eggs, 3 brown eggs, and my white egg.
This is only still day 22, so I'm not too worried, but I dont think they are going to hatch...That's too bad...
What are...
lol...I'm glad my boyfriend isn't against my chicken addiction yet I bought a used one (though now I regret it) and have been making a horrible effort at hatching...I'm glad I found this site, because I have actually been able to hatch! My first hatch, I had no idea about humidity, and they all...
ya, I said the same thing...It is better off dying on its own if there was something wrong with it...I would feel too bad to kill it
and I really want a hovabator, but I ordered another LG instead from the feed store...I desperately need a new one, but I cant afford the $136 it was going to...
There's another pip on egg number 1 (brown egg)! and lots of cheaping!
So to help me not make more nose prints on my incubator window, and waste countless minutes trying to see it that noise I heard was peeping or not...
Is anyone else due today?
When are yours due pdsavage?
EDITED TO ADD...
Thanks! I'm really hoping they are just going to take longer!
And the white faced one is awesome! I almost want to say that she came out of the drk brown egg (the pretty one)...None of the other chicks look like that, so one can only assume
Here are a few pics! They are all so cute! I especially like the grey ones
And here's the guy still in the bator...
So far the count is 9 hatched, one died in the shell, and one is pipped.
There are 5 more brown eggs that have nothing going on yet, and none of the EE eggs have...
WOW! I had 3 more come out last night, and one that pipped last night! The pretty dark brown egg hatched! I wish I knew which chick it was
The one that pipped, but looked upside down ended up dying in its shell. I read a few other post about helping, so I plucked it out and zipped the shell...
One more chick has hatched. It is a very large grey chick, with furry feet. The first was a little black chick.
Also, I have 7 more pips...one looks like it was starting to zip already...Hopefully it will be out before I go to bed tonight!
I do have some questions though...One pipped about...
I dont think it was the thermometer - I've been using my indoor/outdoor one. I actually have calibrated it, and it was only .2* off...My incubator is falling apart, so I'm not surprised the temp is different in different places in the bator
Anyway, I wont open unless I have to, but I dont...
My little chicks are starting to hatch! I had 1 pip 1230am on egg 11. She she hatched sometime before 730am.
I also have 2 pips on eggs 2 and 3...All are light brown eggs....
Also want to add, I am trying the carton method this time. I like it a lot more than setting them on the bottom, mainly...
We're actually going to take old parts from mine (and buy some new ones), and make a nicer one out of wood. I want to use a coil to heat it...
I'm not too into making the incubators like a lot of people have made - I refuse to use anything that even slightly resembles a heat lamp's use. The...
Definitely will post pics when they come! I'm hoping mine hatch on time! I dont want to wait until the 5th either.
I'm way past addicted! I shouldn't have started hatching myself! Im on my 3rd hatch, with many more to come. though I've only gotten 2 chicks from them....Though the whole chicken...
Hadn't updated yet...so here it is...
I'm on day 20 tonight. I'm hoping they will start hatching late tomorrow night (I set at 930pm). I haven't had to toss anymore, so I still had 21 good eggs at day 18
I'm still having a horrible time with my incubator...I think the thermostat is going, so...
