Well, I'm pretty sure my hatch is done although I still have nine eggs in the bator doing nothing. I'll leave them until tomorrow just in case. I've had three more hatch since the initial hatching flurry....all three were two days late. I'm fairly disappointed in the hatch rate. I set forty...

I had two more black silkies hatch during the night. :). That puts me at 12 hatched with 10 eggs still just doing nothing. Going to leave them for another day.

Well once again, my hatch has gone bad. My eggs stopped pipping yesterday afternoon and I have 12 eggs in the bator that have done nothing. Technically, day 21 hit around midnight last night and I was hoping for a few more pips this morning but no such luck. I'll leave them for a couple of...

Two white silkies and one buff silkie have hatched and I have five more pips! What a fun day!! Even my daughter-in-law (who hates my chickens) came to watch for a while. I re-read the Sally Sunshine thread on helping and am giving the chick that has pipped at the wrong end a little more time...

I'm with Ben...Are you sure they're gone? What day are you on? I've had great movement throughout my incubation but the closer I got to lockdown, the darker the mass and the slower the movement. I started lockdown Sunday night and only had movement in five out of twenty-two. I was very...

Okay, 2 white silkie chicks plus 4 more pips! One problem...one of the chicks is malpositioned and pipped on the wrong end. Do I help it or just wait to see if it hatches on its own?

Hatch Day is here...Finally!! I checked everything before bed last night and had a great surprise...one white silkie chick decided to hatch early! I also had two additional pips. This morning the chick is nice and fluffy and moving around well. One additional pip, so a total of three pips...

Candled my eggs yesterday, Day 12, and tossed 11. One was a blood ring. I had several that looked clear when I candled on day 7 but I wasn't positive - at day 12 there's no doubt they're clear. I cracked them open and 3 were quitters, 7 were infertile. The infertiles were 6 white and 1...

So sorry about the fertility. Glad you have other eggs to fall back on so you still get new babies! :) And VERY sorry about the raccoon thing...no fun at all!

Just finished my day 7 candling and am fairly pleased. Out of 40 eggs, I had 1 blood ring, 1 possible blood ring, and a couple with no veining but the majority look great! I can see the embryo and veins in almost all of them and even a little movement in a few! VERY stoked that all 3 of my...
