Well all of my eggs that made it into lockdown are out. The duck eggs that were a week behind are down to two... Skylar might be upset if they don't hatch! But he knows. My 'Hatch' hen has three chicks, a stag and two pullets, and my white clarets had a nest raid so that excludes them. The...

I'm so behind, I don't know who has hatched what! I've got three out so far. Wait, six. Three hatch ( under a broody ) three idk what because I forget what I slid under the hen during the power outage. Duck eggs have a few days yet. If I get some time tomorrow between work and dark, I will...

NO! You are not allowed to be hatching yet. You'll make the rest of us jealous. Haven't checked on the eggs in days, but the hen the eggs were thrown under was talking up a storm when I was feeding earlier. We may have little babies sooner than I thought!

Just be careful with the young pup around the birds. That could cause just as many problems as the fox if they're in the same pen. Today would be lock down if it wasn't for the power outage. I literally put eggs under everything that LOOKED broody. After hour 6 I checked 'bator temps and they...

Sorry it's been crazy busy here. The hamburgs are hatching, as are a few of the other eggs. I have chicks out the wazoo.

They still looked alive when I placed them under the very willing ( but very angry ) hen. I will pull her off tomorrow and double check. Just going to let her hatch these babies after she lost her clutch to the coon... If I can post a video of her in attack mode I will!

If there's a ring of any sort, I personally don't chance it. From my experience a ring forming of any kind is bacterial growth.

Were the veins starting to fade from your last candling? Or was this the first? How do you mean 'funny' ? So to add to the bad luck tree, guess who had an eight hour power outage today? BROODY TO THE RESCUE... Let's hope these babies survive.

My chickens wouldn't know what to do in Alaska, but this time of year it might be a nice break from out heat waves! Welcome aboard Tundra!

LOL Skylar is my godsend of a nephew who is just a doll. He called me earlier and asked me to send him pictures of his muscovies and of the duck eggs we plucked from the park so he could check his chart I sent home with him... Yup, teaching him how to candle early on! He just recently decided to...

This is NOT my week. Just checked on my two Grey hens who were both sitting on a clutch of ( SOLD ) Clarets... Guess what? Not one egg finished incubating. It appears they all quit between day 18 and day 21. Shells were very hard, and last I candled their clutches ( about 10 days ago ) the...

Haha, I practically have a hatch a week through the rest of this summer.

So I finally managed to candle the remaining eggs.. Tossed 9 clear eggs. All four duck eggs are going strong, and the remaining eggs have a LOT of movement. I'm super thrilled. Glad to see everyone is doing well. mrscollaredgreen - To put it simply, a detached air cell moves. It can happen...

My duck eggs are making me nervous... Going to candle them tomorrow with a better light. Granted they were semi-shipped ( I picked them up but it was 100+ outside and they were still 'cold' when I got them? ) and I drove 50 miles back home with them in Skylar's lap. He's really upset that we...

The picture does him no justice, really. He is abnormally shiney and has quite a sheen to him. So many different colors. He's a butcher, as is the hen. I TOTALLY lied to myself when I said he was a hatch. Just got my hands on the breeder books, his tags and hers match up to a pair of Butchers...

Well my royal palm eggs arrived today. No more stalking the mail man, now I will be stalking a broody turkey hen! Until then, here's some eye candy... Proud daddy of more than half of the eggs in my incubator right now. Ignore messy pen... Took it during pen clean out!

Ooooh goodness I really want to candle some eggs. Guess it's time to put my boots on and truck on outside to harrass some broody hens! Gotta check the guinea eggs and the SSH eggs...

Haha so glad to see so many hatchers! I'm also going to be placing some eggs under my broody BS turkey that should be here by Thursday. Got them from a fellow BYC member and am SUPER excited at the possibility of hatching out some Royal Palms!! - Ahem. But, in total I have over 104 ( to date )...

Good luck everyone!

Oh my goodness! Pheasants! What color variety? AND, any pictures? Eye candy is always welcome!
