Congrats, pplz~
HereInOz, I still hope you get at least 5!
I have 12 still, with 2 sickly ones that'll probably die.
I got my incubator parts yesterday, and fixed up my old-style hovabator! Works like a charm~~~!
My Valentines day hatch is due in5 days! How coolz that?
Scratch that, I spoke too soon. I think my last chick is gonna die... like 10 seconds after I sent that last post it started peeping really loudly and twitching. Back to the bator! It's unlikely it'll live.
Yeah, I've been wanting to do it for YEARS!!! I know I won't get and A, teacher's too ... ... ... I'll just leave it to your imagination. ;) I made a forum for it, that I'll update every now and then on the progress of the eggs. I'll be setting 18 tomorow for a leap-day hatch. Aaanyone wanna...
7 is a lucky number, but I think you'll get 5! I started out with 32, chucked 10 durring the 2nd week, and 22 made it to lock-down. Got 10 peeps so far, with 4 left in the bator, 2 have pipped. I maaay just get my 12! I'm packing eggs to take to school tomorrow. I accidentally cracked 1...
I've gotten 9 chicks so far, 10 actually but I'm not 100% sure if it'll live. It came outta a stiiiiicky egg that as full of liquid ooz and somehow DRANK it all! I turned the poor chicky upside down and made it vomit it all up, its poor crop was swollen with he gunk! It's my Survivor if it...
TinaK, sorry about your duckies. Candle them! That's what I do when I'm dot sure. If it's all full with no air bubble you can probably say you've got a stuck duck or a dead one that couldn't pip. I'd personally pop a little hole in the top and check because I'm nosy and have issues with humidity...

I had my first chick of 2012 hatch! It's a spoiled rotten brat, but I love it anyways~ it's a pure bred americauna. It's a light brown, so it's likely a hen. I called it a 'Mama's Boy' until it, SHE dried off... and I...
Aw, Kefiren, your chick is so cute! If you get him far enough he should be juuust fine~
I looked in my 'bator a few minutes ago... AAAND I HAVE 3 PIIIIPS! 1 leghornX, 1 EE, and 1 RIR! I didn't think i'd havea pip until at least 3 o'clock.. but I'm not complaining~!
It's not a very great picture, but here it is~

I'll take another when my chicks hatch out... whenever they decide to do that. One of my quail hasn't stopped peeping(if u could call it that) since I took the pic! Is...
I hatched 4 golden coturnix quail! and my chicken (19) should start to pip by this afternoon and if I'm lucky hatch by tomorrow afternoon! there's plentyvof movement above the air bubble and two or more have started to chirp! probably angered about the 90* temperature this morning... but I'll...
I have good news and bad news...
Yaay! My quail hatched, but I helped it. it's doing great! It's a golden corurnix, I hope it's female becaue I have but 1 old gold hen left.
I have an EE that looks like it's about to pip to the air bubble, so it'll pip by 2morrow afternoon or Sunday morning...
Siiince everyone's eggs are just about done hatchin, would anyone care to join me for a Leap-Years hatch? Well, LY's eve? I'll be setting for my class project on Tuesday the 7th. Probably about 10:30 AM eastern coast time.

That would work! I did it when I was 10 or 11 and hatched out 2 chicks! I used it full term, and durring the summer at that! TinaK, do NOT give up! Go read the valentines day hatch thread by RareBreedFancier and see what happened to her eggs. They got soaked, kicked around in the mud, and...
A lot of y'all seem to have problems with chicks not gettin out. Over the years, I've help like A LOT of chicks out. Some live, some die. I have grown to notice the signs of an egg that needs help and is ready to come out. Good sighns: Chick has started zipping but has stopped and is stuck. It's...
Sounds like all of you are doing really well! But don't abandon this forum yet, y'all gotta wait for me~
Soooo... when's the next hatch gonna be???
Whoa, kathyinmo, whadda you DO with them all!?!?
Cops gone crazy, I hope u get 2 more!
O.M.G!!! I fiiiinally got a pip! My solid white-shelled coturnix quail egg pipped! And it was a day late, like I said. My miscalculations.... so my chickens hould hatch Monday or tuesday~
I have my HM styrafoam cooler-bator up and running, I have 9 or 10 coturnix quail eggs in it with a mug of...
Good luck everybody! I hope all of you BYCers have at least a 70% hatch rate~
Can't say the same for myelf though, because I would be lying.sadness... but I shoul be getting a wafer for my other incubaor... and my styrafoam HM is doing pretty good with the temps.
Okz, well I sat 32, just candled and am to 22, I hope I get 12. 16 would make me literally jump up and down(hopefully I won't fall through the floor) and start cheering.
Gosh, this is the absolute BEST I've ever done in this incubator...! Getting this many to this point, and not ONE half-way...
