    Set my very first eggs today (due March 24th) - need a hatching buddy!

    I'm so sorry you didn't get a hatch ihvpower, but congrats on your new chicks...what kind did you get? Ok, I think this may be the final count for me. I have a total of 10 chicks hatched. 2 are still drying out. I had to help them. They were getting glued in the shell. So, out of 18...

    Yay! I've not been on in a couple days because I've been in front of the bator. I have 6 BLRW! I'm so happy. My DH isn't though...he thinks out of 18 eggs we should have more than that. I know it was because of the high humidity 7 days before lockdown I still have one more pipped. I'm...

    It's day 22 for me and still nothing. I'm really sad. I'm going to hold out till day 25 though. Just in case. When I candled before lockdown all I could see was the aircell and the rest of the egg was dark. But if I don't get anything, it's because this was a staggered hatch and I guess...

    Well, It's day 21 for me and all is quiet...I don't think anything will happen until tomorrow, that is usually what happens-Day 22, the popcorn starts popping. I really hope I get at least half. I have 18 viable eggs and 4 that are iffy.

    Congrats to everyone on your pips and new babies! Ok, we are officially in lockdown this morning. I candled all 25 BLRW eggs-3 eggs were clear, and 4 eggs were questionable-but I left them in just in case. So the new total is 18 eggs. Here we go! I love this part Good luck Everyone...

    Quote: Welcome BGCNVLA! I always wait till day 25-just to give all of them enough time. On day 25, then I would candle and see what is going on. From there if you want to open the eggs up and see what happened, that would be the time to do it. But make sure your dates and temps and humidity...

    Quote: Technodoll I was just wondering if this means that you used the egg cartons and it didn't work very well? I go into lockdown tonight and have gone back and forth about using the egg cartons...we just usually lay the eggs on the bottom of the incubator.

    Great minds think alike! Hey new2chooks, I've only hatched on the bottom of the incubator...I have one egg that has a air sac on the side of the egg. Would the egg carton help that one egg? or should I just lay it with the air sac up laying on it's side? How do you like the egg cartons?

    Quote: No, this just means the little chick is really tired and is resting. It can take up to 24hrs for them to fully hatch. Once you realize that then it makes it a little bit easier to sit and wait. My first hatch was a real pain because I thought they were all taking too long. This...

    Quote: Did you get them from someone on BYC? Livinzoo has some pretty birds. And she was very nice and informative. I'm guessing you opened them up to find out if they were fertile? This is only my second hatch. I didn't open the eggs in the first hatch that didn't hatch...I think I was a...

    Ok...I added 24 BLRW eggs last night...which makes me nervous This is going to be my first staggered hatch. I have 19 due on the 17th and these will be due on the 28th. Since I do a dry incubation, I'm hoping the high humidity at lockdown for the first group won't hurt the second group. Has...
