Now that you mentioned that, one of my Black Copper Marans that hatched couple of days ago I’ve just noticed today that when she’s standing and walking she looses her balance. She can Walk and move around standing but seems very drunk, never seen that before and I’d been raising chicks for 5...

Thanks I did bought it at a local store on the way home for $6 and I think they’ll move to traditional waterers in few weeks since I got plenty of them (8 to be exact) I’m not sure why:D

Oh cool, I better check mine then, that was the opposite of Plymouth Barred Rocks.

Nope, I found it at a local hardware/feed store though I saw it online but more money.

I’m not sure how can I tell, I don’t know how to vent sex

It’s a small nippled bottle water I got for $6 they learned to use it in 2 sec

@Merrymouse what kind did you order? How much and where from? I’d been contemplating of getting one of those heat plate for few yrs now but I enjoy seeing the chicks out instead of under a warming plate, maybe I can invent a see thru or transparent one that shape like a mother hen. :old

Where are you from? No feed store that sells young poultry in your area? Maybe you should open a store then?

I was thinking of setting 7 Marans eggs on that one on March 30th?

I guess it works:eek:

Thanks @Stick Chicken, I’d been impressed with Brinsea incubators, very accurate and no baby sitting. I’m co-owner with pricey ovation 28 EX with a friend and I have a Mini II EX here at home, that I will be firing up for Easter hatch along. My wife was miffed that I brought more chicks last...

Happy to announced that all my eggs had hatched (12 chicks-10 Black Copper Marans & 2 IC Bars) day 22 yesterday, except the 3 that I couldn’t candle, still in the incubator at friend’s house(friends 13 eggs only 3 hatched). So I’m pretty excited with the outcome. They are all healthy and...

Haven’t been around since been busy at work, lockdown was Wednesday. Today is day 22 will see if the rest of the eggs had hatched. Not going to find out until This afternoon since I’ll be working. Yesterday day 21, 7 had hatched out of 15 & 4 more had pipped. Two ice cream bars and 5 Black...

Could be couple of hours to couple of days from the time it pipped, if that is your question. But the total process of incubation and hatching is from 20 to 22 days on average, some hatch early some later if there is variance on temp and humidity.

@Merrymouse time to pull it out and toss

It seems like most of the eggs are right where it should be almost filled up w/ dark area except the air sac portion, the one that are almost totally clear I will discard, there is a chance it will explode and mess up the rest or make a big mess in your incubator.

@Merrymouse i normally candle in pitch black bathroom or room and just use my phones flash light on a counter by making a semi fist over it and place an egg on top, normally it so vivid and clear even on Dark eggs.

Nice! Hopefully my 2 ice cream bars will hatch this Friday.

Awesome, what did you cross the blue chicks with?

Wow!:eek: Something I need to experiment on, though I collected eggs on 20* temps and hatched them last year.
