SoCalChick - your babies are beautiful!!! Since I only got 4 babies out of this hatch I ordered more eggs and will be setting them later this week. We will see how it goes!

Mahonri - wow, that is a lot of chicks. I hope your remaining ones make it. Congrats to everyone else on pips and hatches. My 4 buckeyes are doing great, eating and drinking and doing fine. Will it be ok to put them in with my Christmas babies? They are a week older but the buckeyes seem to be...

Rustyswoman - I love your goose, now I want one to. My husband is going to have a heart attack if I keep adding to my flock. The kids want some call ducks to. I hope your lone little one figures out its a goose eventually. Mahonri - Congrats on all the new babies. That is definitely going to...

Mahonri - I am still new at this so I don't know what to tell you about when to go in. All that were going to hatch on their own have in mine so I am going to try and get the last one out. I will pip in the air cell and see what happens. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Congrats to...

Wow, I missed a lot in the last few hours. This thread suddenly got very active. Here are my results. Well, I welcomed only 4 new Buckeyes into the world in the last 2 days. I have 1 more egg that looks good and I think there is movement. I lost one that had started and it got shrink wrapped...

MuranoFarms - congrats on the new baby. It is so cute. Now I want ducks to, but I have no where to put them. Rustyswoman - I'm so sorry about your Buckeye. I am hatching out Buckeyes as well. I have 1 completely hatched, 1 laying on its side with the top of the egg off resting, and two pips. I...

I have one out and 2 pips. What's funny is the one that pipped last night and started zipping is not the one that hatched. It was one that didn't even have a pip last night. That's ok, because I really didn't think I would get any. Mahonri, I have also had large and some weird shaped air cells...

I also have a pip. I had it when I got home at 5pm. It's now 11pm here and it is zipping. I have no other pips yet, but this one is a little early so I am just waiting.

I put mine in lockdown when I got home from work. I was about 9 hours late, but wanted to make sure my still air got up to 102. My humidity is at 70% which is a little high so I have the plug out. I candled before I put them in lockdown and out of the 15 shipped to me 10 had good movement and 1...

I have 2 icubators, 1 for incubating and 1 for hatching as I was doing staggered hatches. My hatching is a still air and as of this morning the temp was still not up. It was only at 100, so I postponed lockdown until I get home. Do you think they will be ok for an extra 8 hrs or so?

Merry Christmas to everyone also. I candled again and it looks like I may only have 3 or 4 with movement. Even if I only get those 3 or 4 I will be happy since i wasn't sure any would make it anyway.

Well I candled last night and it looks like they are all developing, but I some large and weird shaped air cells. I decided to up the humidity a bit to 40% and see if that helps. Not sure what else to do. These were the shipped eggs I thought may have frozen, so if I get even a couple to hatch I...

I ddin't realize everyone would be candling last night. I am at work and will candle tonight and report in. I am so busy right now. I have 9 BO's and 7 Ameraucana's going into lockdown tonight, I hatched 2 bantam buckeyes on the 12th, 1 on Friday 12/18, and then the Chirstmas babies and my New...

I was so worried about my shipped eggs because we had a cold snap right after they were shipped. But, I couldn't stand it anymore and candled today. I have veining, faint, but veining in 13/14. It is still early, but I am so relieved to see something going on!

riftnreef - not really a neighbor but at least we are in the same state. I am near Centerburg, an hour or so from you. I am also new to chicken keeping and hatching and we are also having a blast. Cloverleaf Farm - I know how you feel. I really want to candle to. I have 14 LF Buckeye eggs in...

Quote: Howdy neighbor, you're a fellow Ohioan I see.

I just can't wait to candle. I really hope they are ok, they were not outside very long after being delivered and I let them sit overnight to come to room temp, then put them in the incubator in the morning. I have another batch due on Christmas so I won't be too upset if they don't do well. The...

My 15 eggs were also shipped. They came from just south of me but took 4 days to get to me. Plus right as they were shipped, we had a cold snap. I don't have high hopes but we will see.

teacher - yes I have 2 incubators and looking at upgrading already. The kids and I are having a ball and we love our chickens!! So for the count I am in with 15 LF Buckeye's and I set them about 8 am this morning.

I am in to. I have Buckeye eggs in the mail that should be here today or tomorrow. I am a first time hatcher with my first eggs due this Saturday, then more due 12/18 then even more due 12/25 and now some due for New Years!!!! Boy, I guess I just don't do things on the small side do I?
