12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

Thank you everyone so much! It makes me feel way better that they will survive!

You do need to make sure that the eggs do not get too hot though with the hot water jars.

Well, the eggs were on one halve of the incubator and the jars on the other side. Also, the jars were slightly too big so the incubator was open a little.

I have 9 egg in the incubator and today is day 20. My neighbors (including me) had a power outage today for 3+ hours. So, I covered my incubator with several blankets. Also, I boiled some water on a gas stove, poured the water in two jars and put them in the incubator. I left a small portion open for air ventilation. My question is - Will the eggs survive? @MGG @JaeG @BullChick @WVduckchick @CluckNDoodle @ronott1 and everyone else.

I agree, I bet they'll be just fine!

How many eggs you set? Can we see babies pretty pleaseeee

I had 9 barnyard mixes go into lockdown. 8 hatched. . They're little chipmunks! The gal thinks some are EE'S. Came from brown eggs, but I do see some green in a couple of them...thier legs/feet..so it's a possibility I'll get a blue/green egg, or olive egg. Two look to be Barred Rock mixes.

I finished candling the shipped eggs from Gypsy Hen! I was able to clearly see the developing chicks, clears, and quitters in both the Marans and Ameraucanas! I was bummed to see so many early quitters even though these were shipped eggs because the air cells looked really good but most of them are looking good! Fingers crossed for the rest!
