Going to put one last set of eggs in the incubator next week and call it good till the New Years Hatch-Along. I want to give the chicks some time to grow before putting them outside in the not too freezing by then yet weather. (In Georgia) I feel like I am over run by chicks though with this...

The staggered hatch thing was a crazy idea on my part. WHY did I put just two eggs in to hatch at one point? One was a twin egg, one of the twins pipped the wrong end, neither of them made it :( Do twins ever make it? The other chick is so small next to the week old chicks! 4 Due out...

Oh my goodness! Great job with the wax repaired egg! I hope this hatch goes better for you. Shipping eggs is for crazy people (like us!)

I have read that eggs that go cold for a day or two have been still hatched! Just make sure to give them an extra few days to hatch as development slows when it is not the right temp! It might still be ok! Have hope!

I must be too busy because one of the dear little chicks we fond has a leg issue. It is almost a week old and I should have noticed sooner. My husband bound the chicks legs for the issue he thinks it has and will get vitamins for the water tomorrow in case it is something else. Poor little...

Very happy with the shipped eggs, many had big air cells and they still hatched! Frizzles are a genetic mutation that makes the feathers of any breed turn outward. So you can have a frizzle silkie, or frizzle cochin or many Polish. With sizzles, the breeders are aiming for all the traits...

All but two of those chicks came from shipped eggs. No polish, those we hope are sizzles. Most likely though they will be silkies and frizzles. I would love polish chicks!

Well it looks like a lot of late deaths but over all we got 10 out of 17 eggs! 10 chicks are doing great and we are so happy with them! Took them out for a second this afternoon (100 degrees + in the sun here! Ugg) to take a picture.

I thought we had electrolys but I guess we used them all on the last chicks :( Everything is closed right now here.... -sigh- I hope they make it through the night. So far they seem "normal" in the brooder! Less than a day old and something already tried to cook them!

Warning - Drama Child changed the temp, it hit 109 before I noticed it, 5 chicks moved to brooder we hope they make it. Sprayed them with cool water. Bator stayed open till it was down to 100, sprayed eggs with cool water before closing, and humidity hit 80.... one chick hatched and I am...

Thank you all! :) 3 chicks so far! :)

The humidity is 71, is that too high for chicks? (Hatching day)

I put the newer eggs that need turning for sure in the egg cartons, I just put a piece of folded cardboard on one side and prop them one side to the other that way, goes quickly! This is the set up now: Egg carton ones on the left are due 8/11 and ones on the right are due 8/13 I...

Can I hang out here? I kind of got in over my head.... I set eggs that are due tomorrow but then set a few eggs due the next few days, one due on the 8th, and then 6 due on the 11th and then a dozen due on the 13th.... All in the same incubator. I have heard of people doing a staggered...
