Quote: I love the pipping time, the anticipation! The 19 and 20th days are hardest for me. I feel like they will never pip. Once I see one little pip my mood will change to all joy and optimism. Lol!!

Quote: So you turned them before incubating? That is interesting. I am starting today with some shipped eggs in the incubator and the turner off. My cells are a little less than perfect so I thought keeping them straight up for a few days might help. Hmmm Interesting ideas...

I moved 3 eggs to the hatcher tonight. They are marans eggs so it is hard to see any movement in them. I am really hoping to get a pip out of this batch. I started with 16. sigh.. shipped eggs. sigh again.....

My solid blue marans from peachick are due to hatch on 7/31.. sunday. Today is the 16th day and was in my "incubating room" just kinda getting set up. Putting new paper towels down, filling water channels, setting up thermometers in my hatcher. I have been trying to really ignore this batch...

Quote: Christie, Sorry to hear about your Ameraucana hatch I was hoping you would get a good hatch. I hatched some from Denise also and they are very nice. I was concerned when they arrived because PO handled them rough so I changed my usual incubating strategy. The air cells looked pretty...
