Good luck on the hatch, Ron! I'll be interested in hearing the results.

Looks good! I know you have a really good candler, but whenever I candle eggs, it is always "where is the air cell?"

Those chicks are adorable Bama 1!

Congrats!

The candling photos and eggtopsy tips were very helpful. I just tossed 14 eggs. 11 were clear and/or scrambled looking. 2 were quitters, one earlier than the other, but both fairly early. I did not open the rotten egg! Didn't think I wanted to look at that one, even in a sealed bag. 16...

I'm at day 14 and usually don't toss anything, but last night I had a rotten egg in there. It took me a while to track it down. I've never had that happen before. Today I want to pull all the clears to make more room. I have another with those really black spots you were describing. I...

I like my Brinsea. The Eco 20 is $150 on sale right now. Shipping is expensive, but some of that cost you can eliminate by using a coupon code. I think they might put codes on their FB page, or just google Brinsea coupon code and you'll find something that works. I would like to have the...

It seems like the definition of hatch rate is somewhat subjective. I think during last year's Easter hatch-a-long, we calculated by total set/total hatched (everything included). Maybe that was just to simplify things for a large group. For me, I always counted everything that had the...

I love this idea! :D

In my batch, the lone cracked egg was also right in the center. I assumed pressure from above also (like someone used the box as a chair, temporarily :rolleyes: ) She had wrapped each egg in paper towels before putting them in the carton, so maybe that offered a little extra protection. Two...

I would also be interested in how they were packaged. Mine were not double boxed like Wisher's, but I liked that the shipper had all the eggs upright in cartons. I think this really helps keep the air-cell intact. Especially since everything is becoming so automated, I think packages are...

:( Sorry to hear that. I would definitely wait and candle again, just in case. My day 7 begins tonight. Not sure I will be able to see into the Marans eggs and I'm bad at candling, but I plan to take a peek anyway.

These eggs all look so different to me. Both the EE and the silkie look like they are developing, but I can't see anything in the Marans egg. Is that because it is just too difficult to see into the darker eggs, or do you think this one isn't developing? My Marans eggs are only on day 1, but...

Well, I could do some talking to fill the time...:P I don't have Wisher's eggs, but I just set 30 shipped eggs today. Two things will be an experiment for me: first, one of the eggs I received was cracked and had oozed a little bit. I put melted wax on the crack and put it in the incubator...

This thread has been great for me. I have shipped hatching eggs that should arrive on Friday and this is a great refresher course!

I've always wondered if SCG ever sleeps! :D
