Yay, I have a good hatch for the 3rd batch :) so far 7 buff brahmas and 1 Silkie, with one of each pipped still in the bator. 2 BB that I think are duds but I'll leave in until tomorrow :)

Yes. I think it was shipping. The batch that had 50% hatch was really well packed. It had the eggs bubble wrapped INA small box surrounded by balloons in a large box. The batch that had none hatch was sent wrapped in tissue type paper in an egg carton surrounded by packing peanuts in a medium...

Buff Brahma out and in the dry off bator with the little Maran chick from yesterday. Lots more pips on them and the Silkie eggs. Pulled the Marans eggs that where over due, had 2 clears, 2 late quitters and 5 dead in shell. I guess marans are not in my future. Out of 55 Maran eggs (17-18-20)...

I have buff brahmas hatching :) 1 zipping, 3 pipped and 2 silkies pipped also. All on day 20. The marans on day 22, still don't seem to be doing anything else yet.

Thank you. These were shipped eggs, so I'm going to try and stick with local. This is my last hatch until probably February and hopefully by then I have hens laying.

Just shining a flashlight in the incubator I got a couple eggs to wiggle. Last week I ended up with 8 live (all from same seller) and 15 dead in shell (all but 2 from a different seller)

Its a load little thing, soi think its a fighter

I smeared some neosporin on it (no pain med kind) and its in the empty incubator until it gets better. I had planned on putting all the chicks from this batch in there until they were done because the chicks in the brooder hatched last Thursday. I had great results in my September hatch of local...

My second batch is doing crappy :( day 21 and I had 1 hatch, but it looks like it pulled its umbilical cord and its intestions are sticking out. A second on pipped this morning and unzipped halfway before dying. All the yolk was absorbed on it. There are 12 more in this batch and the last batch...

My 8 marans that hatched from my first set (15 others were full term but didn't hatch). 11 more marans and 3 silkies are on day 19 today and 10 buff brahmas and 2 silkies are on day 17.

6 live chicks so far, plus 2 more pips on my eggs from texas. The chick I helped yesterday died last night and another pipped and died, they were from my eggs from Virginia. Still have a lot to wait for.

First chick out, it was malposition and had to be assisted out, but is doing well. 4 other eggs have pipped already :)

First pip in my first batch of Marans, halfway down the egg away from the air cell. I chipped away at the hole a little for it, but I'll check on it again later.

Does anyone hatch in egg cartons? How does it work out? Most of my eggs for this month are shipped and some of them have funny air cells and I want them to have the easiest time hatching as they can.

Set the last batch of eggs today. 14 buff Brahma and 2 Silkie. Pulled 5 from the first batch set last week (2 scrambled yolks, 2 clear and a blood ring). Hatch will be staggered in 3 batches over a weeks time

Candled batch one last night looks like 28-30 of the 35 are doing well. Going to wait a while to throw out any unless we get a stinker

Set my second batch of eggs today. 16 black and blue copper marans (shipped) and 4 Silkie eggs from my one hen that is laying. First batch is on day 5, 17 blue and splash copper marans and 18 BCM (both sets shipped). Waiting on a dozen buff Brahma eggs to get here at the end of the week and Will...

I set 35 Maran eggs today (black/blue and splash copper). My second time hatching and first time with shipped eggs. I have another 20+ arriving next week (also another bator), they didn't get shipped when they were supposed to so they are sending me double what I ordered, hence the need for a...
