Mrs. Fluffy Puffy : Nothing hatched this morning ... it's going to be a long day Come on chickies! I haven't been following this thread since I joined in and hatched my eggs 2 weeks ago~ So what kind of chicks are you hatching? Sending good vibes your way! Here is a picture of my only chick...

Mrs. Fluffy Puffy : chickee: That is so nice of the breeder! Your lil' chickie is so adorable .. why don't you send send him on over to me Yes, the breeder has been great! 10 of the 16 eggs didn't look fertile so she is sending me another dozen. Thank-you for complimenting my chick I think...

YAY! I'm getting replacement Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucana eggs next week from the breeder, since only one egg hatched from my first batch two weeks ago! I should be setting them by next Thursday We need to start a September Hatch-A-Long!! Here is a picture of the only chick to hatch two...

Kedreeva, I did an eggtopsy on the one egg out of the two that didn't hatch and it was positioned wrong with it's wind behind its back instead of over its head, plus this egg show excessive veining early, like nothing I have seen before so when I did the eggtopsy it had a HUGE black vein...

I'm seeing a lot of poor hatches~ Sorry everyone myself included! Wondering if it was because of the heat? The breeder I bought my shipped eggs from said there had been a hot spell before she shipped my eggs and 11 of the sixteen were clear, so I don't think they were fertile! I'm going to...

Day 21 and one chick out of my two remaining eggs hatched around 12:00 noon. The other egg isn't doing a thing and it was the healthier of the two, so go figure! Very sad hatch from these shipped eggs 12 ended up clear, two quit along the way and now just one hatched Here is a picture of my...

Quote: Yes, that is called bloody navel and is caused from your temps running to high during incubation. That is why your chick hatched early. Congratulations on your new chicks! One of my two eggs has just pipped and sure hope both make it

Quote: I'm sorry! What time of day did you start them? I started mine at 11:15 at night, so I had to count the next day as day one. Mine are on day 20 (won't be a full day until 11:15 tonight) and I am hoping for pips late tonight, but mine never seem to pip until day 21! I only have two...

Quote: I did not, but I should have. It was just so late at night and I was so mad at tossing so many that I didn't even think about it. But I will say- there was a small starter vein (about 1/2 an inch) with 2-3 smaller branches off from it (about 1/5 an inch each). The inner membrane had...

Quote: As long as you see veins, your eggs are good. You don't need to see movement. The best indicator that a chick has died is the veining disappears. Don't throw out any eggs until day 14 unless they smell bad. Lockdown is on day 18 which would be August 9th since you started them in the...

Quote: Congrats on your Lakenvelder egg! Did you take pictures of the eggs that didn't make it for your eggtopsy thread? Did the egg with a day of growth look like the two eggs I told you about that had an oval of blood deep in the yoke? Hope you put a picture of it on your thread so I can...

Quote: Sorry I know exactly how you feel Only two of my 16 shipped eggs made it to lockdown. 11 of mine were clear and when I cracked them open to see why, they didn't look fertile If the two eggs hatch Thursday, they will be some expensive Ameraucana chicks

Don't worry guys! I always think I hear peeping and then later on they start peeping really loud and then you know you weren't crazy after all My chicks never pip until day 21 so never fear!

Quote: Good Luck! Monday is also day 18 for my precious 2 remaining Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucana eggs out of the only four to even start growing of 16 shipped eggs

Quote: My chicks always start pipping on day 21. I am using a Genesis 1588 incubator. Sometimes it depends on the breed of chicken. Mostly it has to do with your temps. Higher temps, chicks hatch on day 19-20 and lower temps day 21-23. I feel the most anxiety on first candling and when the...

Quote: #1 and #2 are clears (not fertile or never started growing) #3 is harder to tell from your picture. Could be a chick in there. Can you see any veining in egg #3? Is the shell porus and hard to see into? there is no veining in #3 like their is in my others. It's a "blob" that sits...
