Good luck! I'm on my next hatch now... 9 eggs (including one silkie, woo)

My liddle dumplings :) Still got one more to hatch in the incubator. I can hear it making chirping noises, but looks like it won't be out 'til tomorrow morning! So far, I got two yellow ones, one black on. O so cute! The first two: The first two, plus the black one :) The eggs, one...

aww thanks!! :) haha, it's my first hatch. the mother is a red sex link, and the father is a barred rock.

Woke up this morning to this: 12 hours after I first noticed them pipping! :D two of them have successfully hatched, and I noticed one other egg has a pip on it. However, these other two keep rolling the eggs around the incubator... will this be ok? They keep standing up, moving...

Haha THANKS!!! you do not know how excited I am right now :) EDIT: Sorry, there is currently no water in the incubator (I don't think), should I quickly take the pipping eggs out and quickly put water in?? Thanks. EDIT2: Don't worry, just researching and it said that the membrane might dry...

OMG! I went to my incubator to put some more water in (am currently in lockdown), opened it up and this is what I found: These are pips right? This is my first time hatching. Day 21 is tomorrow (Monday) :D ALSO, just while I was posting this I heard cheeping from inside the incubator...

I went into lockdown a day early, because I had to go and stay in town tonight... will this matter? (I upped the humidity to 60% from 45, added some fresh water and took out the turned tray) thanks.

Yeah, my incubator is in Celsius, I've got it set to 37.7degrees with 45% humidity. :) Seem to be developing quite nicely. I keep worrying that my eggs aren't developing, so I've decided to stop candling until the day before lockdown. Lol.

Lockdown is at day 18 when you are supposed to stop turning the eggs and "lock down" the incubator, don't open it unless you absolutely HAVE to (for example, need to replace water). You also need to crank up the humidity to 65% or higher. :)

Lol LOTS of liquid. Make sure you buy the heavy flow though :P Imagine though if a friend came over or something and saw an engorged tampon sitting in your incubator, they'd be like, "ummm... W T F?!?!?!?!" haha :P

Four out of my (now) seven seem to be growing, and it's day 5 for me! Woo hoo, this is my first hatch! :D So excited.

Argh! This is my second hatch (after my first, failed attempt with four eggs, and three were unfertilized and I cracked all of them open!) and I'm having a dilemma. I've heard that most eggs on Day 3, you can see the spider-web of blood vessels when you candle them. I CANNOT SEE NOTHING in any...

I set 8 in this morning too! :D pretty excited. No doubt most of them will be unfertilized, like my last failed hatch :/ See how we go. Mine are ISA Browns crossed with Barred Rock (the rooster is a BR). I wonder what they'll look like...

I set some this afternoon! I will be setting some more that are layed tomorrow morning, see if they can hatch :) seeing as how I accidentally destroyed my only developing chick in my last lot. So consider me setting on the 5th :) Can't wait to see how we all turn out. :D
