I had a little silver one hatch yesterday but I don't see any pips today. Today is day 20!

The air gets sucked away from the eggs? I thought the fan was to blow air onto the eggs?

So, yesterday was lockdown and I candled them first. Had to toss 2 of them one didn't have more development from the last candling and had a ring around the middle of the egg. The other one I noticed had a bad smell when I picked it up. Poor thing had died. One of the eggs that I took from my...

Always learning. Thank you.

double post

My broody was off her nest and I was counting the eggs, I hated to do it but the nest smelled soooo bad that I brought in another 5 eggs and washed them off and put them in the incubator. 3 are moving inside, one looks like it hasn't started incubating yet and the last one looks bad inside. That...

Mine are mixed breeds. What are yours?

Wow! It didn't sound like you had done this much when I read about it but that does look very nice. I like it. It gives me ideas on what to do for one when I want to make one. I have 2 Little Giants, one with air and one with out and I bought turners for both of them. It's just sometimes I want...

What day are yours due? Mine are due 8/21.

I just candled my eggs that I washed with diluted bleach water. They have been incubating since 7/31, first candling at day 2, to look for air sacks. Next candling was at day 8 and of the 33 that I washed 10 of them are the same today as they were on the 8th, the others have shown improvement or...

Do you have pictures? Did you make it yourself?

I missed this post. I had another little one hatch a few days later on lockdown day and then the rest of them started hatching, um, I don't have my book right here but I think they started hatching on day 20. I think there were 11 out of 15 of my mixes hatch and 9 out of 11 silkies hatch.

Today is day 8 but I just finished candling my eggs. I have a lot of them with veining and some with some movement. I have NEVER seen an embryo move before and there are several of them moving. I took 6 eggs out from under my broody hen because she had 14, not all hers. I added them to my...

They are. Thank you. I also had 2 older Silkies that I put in with the younger ones. They are almost a month old but not really that much bigger than the babies. They all seem to be getting along together.

Did I forget to post pictures? Well, here they are and if I did post them then I'm sure someone didn't see them. LOL Silkies My mixed breeds. All together. I had to put them in a bigger tote today. They were yelling and yelling but I couldn't figure out why so I thought they must...

I candled my eggs last night, Day 2 in the incubator but I don't know what I expected to see other than the air sacks. I saw a lot of yolks, a couple of eggs I couldn't see the air sack cause the shell was too dark. I did figure something out though, at least I think I did. I have an egg now and...

I'm back in! I am trying my experiment of washing eggs in diluted bleach water and seeing if they will hatch for me. I have more duck eggs than we will eat so there are about 18 of them in the incubator and I had about 18 chicken eggs sitting on the table. I didn't plan on putting them in the...

Mine didn't wait until today or even tomorrow. All that are going to hatch have hatched. I have 8 silkies and 10 of my mixed breeds out of 26 that went into lock down. I had 6 eggs that died before pipping. I had 2 chicks die after pipping but before they got out of the shells. All 18 piled...

I have 8! I have 8 now! 4 Silkies and 4 of my mixed babies. Mine are all dark but one is lighter than the others. The silkies are 2 and 2, cream and a silver look. One of my first hatched babies, might have been the first one, is one that has that grumpy look. LOL I look forward to taking lots...

One of my bathrooms doesn't have a window so it is very dark, I can carry them two at a time to candle in there. Maybe you have a room that can be darken so you can candle in there?
