Quote: Sorry about your head Marie- for the chicks!

No excitement here-I wish I would've candled more than one egg at day 18. Now I have no idea if they're alive in there or not. I had a temp. spike on day 18. for soon! Congrats everyone on the pips!!

lol Alyssa! Mine are super quiet-no moving or peeps. I feel like I should have candled them one last time. Today at 4:30 starts day 20 and my temps were on the low side so maybe it will take more time. I feel like someone here should have some pips by now! tf-I already bought three chicks last...

Tina- My bator is all wonky too with the temps. I woke up this morning and it was like 96.9(wiggler) or something totally low. Arg! I've got the wiggler temps back up, and humidity at 71%. It drops really fast, so I'm letting it go down a bit on its own. My hatch might be a bit late because I...

Today at 4:30pm will start day 18 for me. I'm working on slowly getting the humidity up. I started out with two cartons in the bator, but was able to put then in one since I'm now down to 12. That helped with making more room for sponges, ect. Tina-I was wondering about taller birds like...

How's everyone doing? I candled again last night and weeded out all the bad eggs and clears. I now have two of my precious ameraucanas and ten of the mixed breed eggs. I'm pretty happy with the results so far, but I hope with my new bator that I will have better results next time. I'm having...

Quote: That's great! I candled again last night, and I one have one maybe two good ones out of my eight shipped eggs. I'm kind of bummed about it, but I did have 8 from the local eggs that I put in. I ordered a hova 1588 for the next go around, so I'm hoping the eggs Grace(Gracefulbantams)...

Quote: That sucks-I don't think mine is going to be much better than that. Quote: Yep-I would take the eggs out on day 18 and move them to the hova. Then when everyone is hatched, I would move them to my indoor brooder.

I just ordered a genesis, so if it comes in time I will use it for the hatch. Other than that, I had just planned to use my lg.

I candled last night-it's really hard to see with some of my browns and blues. I for sure have 8 keepers with good veins and some swimmers. I had one blood ring for sure, and some clears. I took the blood ring out and marked the question marks. * isn't very good out of 23, but half of my shipped...

So sorry Ashley-hoping the rest will be ok. How many did you put in?

What do you use to candle Marie? I have light brown and light blue eggs and I'm wondering if I'll be able to see anything tonight. I'm thinking about doing a shoebox with a bulb and an egg shaped hole cut in the top. I wish I had a surefire, but alas I don't.

That's sad-my ameraucana eggs were shipped too, but I searched for some other eggs to throw in with them in case they had shipping trauma and didn't hatch. I just didn't want to rely only on them, you know? The others are not purebred though, so I'm not as excited to have them as I am the...

I am really trying to wait until day 6-7 to candle. I have never done it before, and I have ameraucana and brown eggs. I just want to make sure there will be lots of veins to see. p.s. I like the idea of having a thread where we are all on the same day of the incubating process.

Thanks!
