Quote: That all sounds really good to me. Glad thing are getting better and hatching. I wish you the best of luck. I've heard all kind of weird stories from breeders this year. lol Maybe next year will be better for all of us.

I'm sure nothing near an expert with these incubators but I can tell you this for certain. My very first time I had 1 incubator going, I had 14 Black Copper Marans eggs and only 4 hatched (shipped eggs). I had 6 Golden Salmon Marans egg and only 2 hatched (shipped eggs). I had 4 of my own...

Quote: I'm not saying this as a certainty but what did you clean your incubator with and are you sure that all was really rinsed well. Maybe some kind of bacteria. Sounds strange.

Thanks so much Lily. I really love them. lol They are so sweet. This is the first time I've ever had the Silver Penciled babies. lol

Okay, I'm going to try this. Here are my sweet little Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock babies from Wynette Adamson. Oh my are they ever sweeties. Gee whiz.

Quote: Hopefully, by the time you get home, there'll be some progress to report. It's when you hang around the incubator that nothin seems to happen. I've been trying to find things to keep the first two chicks out of mischief. I keep hearing yelps of pain as one grabs the other's toe and...

Hey folks don't let your hearts be troubled. I talked to a good friend of mine a week or so ago and we were talking about the hatchings this year and he told me that he took 60 + eggs to a friend of his who has one of the big cabinet incubators. This guy usually has a 90+% rate on his hatches...

Quote: Usually it means that your temp got a bit high at some point in incubating. I have no doubt that mine did because we had 100 degree weather and I have no air conditioning. Update again I have three out and the third is hollering to the one that started yesterday so hopefully it can...

Quote: This is my third time using the incubator and both times before I had some on day 20 and today is day 20 and just in the last 5 minutes the second one jumped out of the egg. Wanted to tell you also that you said about your temp going down on day of lock down. When I put this bunch in...

Well, first one jumped out about 4 P.M. 3 more pips 1 is better than nothing right??????????? No, I feel pretty good about this hatch. Don't know why but seems that everything seemed to go a little smoother. I'm really not worried about anything. I've bummed out so many times it doesn't...

That's great, I'm so happy for you Lily Hope they keep on popping out for you. I just received a trio of Silver Penciled Plymouth Rocks a couple of hours ago so that is helping to keep my mind off the incubator. lol Anything helps. Oops, just heard a peep in the other room. Got to check it...

I don't have any pipping yet but here in my computer room I can hear them peeping in the next room. Is quite encouraging to hear them chattering to each other still in the shells. It's another 24 hours before they are really due to hatch. I was just thinking of something last night. Don't know...

Hey folks, Just came across this thread. I also set eggs on the 29th of June 9:07 A.M. This is my third time for incubating and my first two with shipped eggs weren't really good. The first time I had 6 eggs shipped from one breeder, 2 hatched. 14 eggs from another breeder, 4 hatched then I...
