I thought lockdown started at the end of day 18? I have quite a few more growing than I thought a few days ago. My 10yo daughter helped me candle again and thought them moving around was the greatest thing ever! I still have 1 egg with an iffy aircell, still kind of moves but the baby is...

I was trying at first to tilt the eggs in the carton lol. Found out pretty quickly to put something under the side to tilt the whole thing! I'm just leaving them alone. I'll candle again Friday to make sure the darkness in each egg is roughly the same, should be about the whole egg at that...

it's hard to deal with! Especially since the Marans were the breed my 10yo daughter chose to hatch for homeschool. She researched and looked at a ton of different breeds and kept going back to them. I found a breeder and ordered knowing the hatch rate would be lower, they did an awesome job...

My temps and humidity have been perfect. The eggs made about a 4k mile journey and got pretty scrambled.

I have had to remove 12 out of 29 eggs so far. Some that I thought were developing weren't, too scrambled from shipping and had 4 with blood rings along with the clear ones . I knew to expect around a 50% hatch on the shipped eggs but it doesn't look like I'm going to come even close to that. I...

So I recandled this morning, day 7, and 23 out of 29 eggs are developing! Some of the air cells still move around so I have those marked and candle with pointy end of egg down anyway as to not disrupt the air cell. How is your hatch coming along? Hope all is well!

I couldn't resist and candled a few last night! Out of the 4 from my birds I can see two are developing, the other 2 have slightly darker more porous shells. Out of the 12 Welsummers I candled 4 and all 4 were developing and our of 4 of the Marans I could only tell that 1 was. Those eggs are...

I have a question about shipped eggs. Mine are in the incubator in egg cartons with bottoms cut out for air flow, I read that you need to "tilt" the eggs, instead of rolling, at a 45 degree angle. How do you do that? I tilted all mine one direction last night and the other this morning but I...

It's really hard to believe I'm only on day 3! I'm a stay at home mom and homeschool and am always here, think I need to plan outings the next few days or I may go insane! I find myself up stairs checking them every 1-2 hrs. Don't know if its because it's my first time hatching or what, it's not...

I'm very worried about ours! I put 4 of our own Buff Orp eggs in for reference but can only see through the Wels and 2 of the BCM's. I'm glad I got the chocolate eggs but they're making my first hatch very stressful! I don't know how well I will be able to see developing and the fact their...

I set 12 Welsummers and 13 Black Copper Marans today! I'm a few days behind you but I think everyone is getting pretty tired of me talking about them! I am using a HovaBator with a fan and no turner :( But because they're shipped I don't have to mess with them for a few days!
