12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[cppeace]

Should candle mine and take pics tonight or tomorrow night? I'm on days 6-7 so far

Depending on your type of eggs people candle at different times. Most standard chickens people generally candle day between day 5-10. Then most will candle at least once more between day 11-17. Some people candle much more, some don't candle. I plan to candle once more ( did first and pulled out all clears morn of day 8.) I plan to candle the final time Friday night or Saturday morn which would be day 14 night or 15 morn.

Thank you, @cppeace. I only got 12 eggs left and am pretty anxious I think I'll go with your advice and candle tomorrow afternoon/eve. (Day 7-8)

Weigh in & Candle for Day 11 is complete. Of the 25 remaining, all 25 are still viable. The weight loss is a little higher than I would like, but still acceptable. Starting to feel better about this incubator.

While we are waiting for our Easter babies I wanted to show off my friend’s chicks she just hatched the other day! This was her very first incubation and I loved helping her with an amazing hatch rate, and she definitely had a great first experience! 6 out of 7 eggs hatched!

Candling revealed.. 4 eggs were not continuing to develop for the Easter hatch. Never mind what I may or may NOT have done correctly.

Which still leaves 30 ish!

Got a pleasant surprise when candling... All are viable! (No glowies)
An earlier candling had 3 maybes, but I guess they decided to join the party after all.
