Holly, when you get your eggs, I want to start another batch with you. I'm sure Lisa would want to also. All three of us had horrible luck this time around, this was only my second hatch. I had better luck this time (First batch was 4 live out of 75, This time I had 18 hatch and 14 live out of...

Best of Luck on this hatch Holly!

Another one Holly? These hatching out are SO premature, I am thinking the temp being a little low those first few days (I had it at 99 and 100 for a the first few days, trying to be too careful). I wonder if the same thing might of happened for you? The reason they are all coming out now...

I have 4 or 5 SLW now and 2 Buff Orps. One of the buffs is in bad shape, still needed an extra day. One SLW has it's "yoke" (looks more like stomache) hanging out and I have diapered it, and it keeps getting out of it. It's very active and has jumped and moved all over all the other eggs, and...

Thanks for the words of encouragement countrybum. The second one is out and healthy the first one of course died. I also have two more out alive and healthy. They have little round tummies but the yoke is absorbed. I have about 5 other pips too. Hopefully I will wake up to more babies. As...

ERrrr! I am going to give up hatching. I had one egg that cracked when I was moving it to the hatcher. So I wrapped it in a wet paper towel. Well, so today it was "bulging" and the shell was falling off. I did a rash judgement and decided to poke a small hole in the air sack at the top, and...

I have a PIP!! Yea, I didn't know when it would happen. I might have one. I'll keep you updated!~

Oh, and hatching vibes your way Holly! Lisa....what's the update on your chicks?

I can never see anything in the eggs this late in the game, but I stopped turning and upped the humidity last night. I am thinking wednesday should be hatching day, I have 5 eggs rolling on top of the others in the brinsea while the Hovabator is the hatcher. I have about 50 in there, 12 from...

Ok I set mine late day March 31. So here we are again, what day am I on, do I need to stop turning? Up humidity? Can I keep eggs warm all the way to Lisa's house because I don't want to screw up the hatch with my eggs I only started 3 days ago.

Quote: To SELL of course! And perfect your incubating skills.

Holly did they stop, or just underdeveloped? Check your thermometer (get another against it) and keep going if they are underdeveloped but still alive. Don't throw in the towel yet!

Quote: It gets very dark and full around day 14 so you might be ahead of schedule. I would leave them alone at that stage of the game. Did you candle at day 7? it would be obvious then and they aren't too big to see into.

Ok so I did a candleing on the ones in the Brinsea, and I had a LOT of clear ones. These I think are the Buff Orpingtons because he mentioned he didn't trim the vents so he was worried about fertility. Good thing they were free Also I have a clear silkie egg. Either I don't know what a...

Quote: Oh wow 75 eggs, I would be going nuts lol I wish I could get my hands on 75 eggs!!! What day are your babies due again? I think a day after yours. Maybe 2 days. I started them the 31st.

OK Update! When I put my eggs in and gathered them, I didn't have a pencil so I didn't write which ones were which. So now, I'm trying to remember which ones were silkies I candled 6 last night, 1 I thought was clear, but I think it's really just developing slow. I had veining in the 5...

This is my first Silkie babies if they hatch. Cross your fingers!!

Ok so I set a bunch yesterday, can I join in? But then it would be Holly, Lisa and Lexa. I have 7 duck eggs from ChickenLisa on here, 48 Buff Orpingtons and Silver Laced Wyandottes and BO/SLW mix possibly from my Uncle in law that has raised them over 50 years, 12 New Hampshire Red Bantams...
