Toni- So sorry to hear about that, wow what a shame. On hatching news, I am jealous of your blue barred's I just love rocks and didn't realize she had these or I would have gotten some too. Glad you met some more chicken people, I just love chicken people. Scuba-I was hoping there was a way...

Hi everyone it's been awhile. Hope all is going great. I have 6 BCM's, 2 cochin mixes, and 11 Olive eggers set into lockdown this morning. Fingers are crossed for a great hatch. I adjusted my temp down 1 degrees and hope that they don't hatch too early like last time. Scuba- how are your...

Toni- yes I did order from Lisa, she mailed them today, how fun. I guess that will make us In laws, sorta, lol!! Well my hatch was a trying one, starting on day 18 I wouldn't recommend to anyone, the 2 chicks that hatched are/were weak. And still barely hanging on, not sure if I should try to...

Hi all, hope your hatches are going well. As for mine today is lockdown for 8 blue breeds eggs, and 3 BCM's. But this morning as I was preparing lockdown, I found a pip!! Yikes that seems really early, and then about 2 hours later another pip! I am using a genesis with preset temp, do you...

Scuba- the biggest difference is I got a hovabator genesis with the preset temp and I realized in doing so that my thermometer was off 2 degrees on the high side and I was doing the dry hatch method so the chicks would begin to hatch early, and then get stuck in the shells because I hadn't upped...

I can't believe I forgot to post pictures. These chicks are so much fun, and do they sure do poop alot, lol! Here's my EE's and some of my blue OE's and a group shot. Thanks Toni- how would I like to guess you find some eggs for that broody? What I wouldn't do for a broody hen!! So...

Hello Everyone. I am very excited to report that as I type I now have 14 chicks and another zipping as we speak. So 15 out of 19 I would say is pretty dang good, oh and to mention today is just day 21!! I will be sure to post some pictures once everyone has dried and looks all cute and poofy...

Hi all. welcome Wolfwoman! I just love those Russian Orloff's soooo cute!! Were did you buy your eggs? Well I am happy to report that I am having my most successful hatch to date. I already have 2 hatched and healthy and 8 more pips. My original zipper must be stuck in the shell because...

Toni- I am the same way I just "accidently" bought more eggs, eek?? What will I tell hubby????? Oh well he already thinks I am kooky as is.

Oh no so sorry to hear that, were they still alive? Well today is day 19 and can you believe I woke up to a chick zipping the shell. I am a little worried that it's too early! I did incubate them in my LG for the first 3 days at a higher temp (that I didn't realize), but then set them in the...

Scuba- if you do decide to pip the shell over the air cell, I know there is a really good thread (in the sticky at top) all about it. I have done it a few times, only thing i know for sure if you pip the shell and the chick is alive, and you see blood vessels, stop! But if the chick has pipped...

Scuba- any updates?? smchickfarm- Way to go to your son for winning that's great! How fun. Sorry to hear that your not going to be hatching anymore, after these in the bator I am taking a break also. On other news my 19 EE's and OE's went into lockdown today, wish me luck! I am hoping for a...

Wow that is amazing, go chickies go!!! Glad you were able to candle them and see good things. Is there any possible way you have their due date off? I am just searching here for any answers to why they would be soooo late. Keep us updated. iluvschickees- We've all been incubating since...

Sorry Scuba, do you think you should try to help? Have you candled to see if they have pipped the air cell? They are probably to big to hatch, but maybe you could pip the air cell and see if you could help them from there.

Scubadeaux- I always have night time hatchers also. Can't wait to hear your final counts, and pictures please! I never tire of seeing little fuzzy butts. Toni- Congrats on your 9 chicks, so sorry to hear about the shipped eggs, wonder why they didn't hatch? Were the yolks scrambled, detached...

The waiting is always the worst, especially after they pipped. I did have one chick pip, zip and hatch all in the matter of 30 minutes, it was the coolest thing ever I got to watch the whole thing, never-mind it was at 3am. Ha Ha. Hope those chicks get to zipping and hatching soon, would love...

Hello everyone! Toni- hope your hatching goes well, love to see some pics of those babies. Sorry to hear about those 2 eggs, fingers crossed for you, blue chicks are so cute. How cute about your SLW, I love sweet chickens, yes name them. Maybe Salt and Pepper? Scuba- hope your hatch is...

Hello everyone! Scuba- hope you have tons more hatch today, and how interesting about that one pipping upside down, good thing you caught that and saved the little one. Can't wait to see pics of them all. Toni- sorry to hear about the troubles with the broken eggs, that's no fun. hope the...

Well I hate to be a party pooper but I really really suck at incubating!!!!!!!!! I had to help the 2 that had piped to shells and were stuck in their shells some 12+ hours later. So as I had the incubator open I decided to check one of my shells since none of the others had any activity. Well...
