I didn’t check the title. We need to move this over to the Easter hatch thread.

Well, *now*.... it's Friday ..... "Officially speaking" and I am "in" with 5 numbered eggs. At different 2 or 3 debatable stages of development. All of them are EE/OE hen furtilized(sp) by our silkie White Roo?

I have two "accidents" nice big blue eggs supposed to be full EE, popped out two paints that look like knock off silkies!....4 toes, feathered legs, single combs, and silkie feathering!!! They have mini crests, cheek muffs and mini beards LOL. The rooster was white silkie and the mom was a dark brown coloured EE. They are super cute and very friendly but no idea what to do with them lol. Ill

I set some chicken eggs! Due Apr 9th but there're pullet and bantam eggs so probably earlier. 22 of them, just randomly picked blue eggs, some pretty brown eggs, and a bunch of little white ones from my bantam polish. I have a blue faverolle roo so hoping for blue & green-ish layers. I also have a hamburg roo so they could just be lighter whites. Who knows? But neither of my boys seem to know what they're doing and keep making love to the girls' backs instead of their bums so I'm only expecting maybe 1/2 to be fertile.

The goose eggs look like duds, though. I'll leave them in and pray for a miracle hatch, but they were shipped in pretty rough and looked scrambled before I even put them in. I guess I'll just have to buy goslings. I'm getting my geese one way or another!

Aw it's always disappointing with geese since you can only set a couple. A little bit of bad luck, and they take so long too

My neighbours probably appreciate my failure in hatching geese so far, though.

Good luck with your hatch!

I see all of you are entered as "maybe" for setting eggs. Did any of you set eggs? Please send @OneMountainAcres a conversation and let her know how many eggs you set. Thanks!

It didn't happen for me this year. I have some due before and some due after!! Have fun, y'all!

Just finished catching up on 20 pages ofreplies lol
I'll be doing my first candling tonight ( day 7 for me on the bresse eggs). I generally only do 2 candles on chicken eggs, one around day 6-8 and one a day or two before " lock down". I don't candle quail eggs at all. Generally, I can't see anything in them until they are about ready to hatch lol.
Hope all is going well.

LOL ,,,,,, I caved.....Well I was just going to sale hatching eggs this year, but we had 2 breeds housed together and need to know which eggs are which. Langshans and Jerseys...so guess we need to hatch them ourselves. setting it up today....

How many eggs did you set? Please send a conversation to @OneMountainAcres and let her know how many you set.

I’d love to do the hatch-a-long with everybody! Can’t wait to see all the cute baby pics! This will be my first year doing it, but not my first time incubating.

I’ll be setting chicken eggs. Not sure how many and of what breeds (depends what extra eggs I have) but I’ll be putting something in that incubator! As long as I don’t fill it by the time the hatch-a-long starts.

How many eggs did you set? Please send a conversation to @OneMountainAcres and let her know how many you set.

Hi I need help , so am student and i started incubating eggs in my student room , so i will move incubator during the incubation proces(bring incubator home). What is best day of incubaation to make transfer it can be from day 7to day 11.
Also how to transfer it.
I cant leave eggs in incubator beacause i must drive and and eggs would crush in my incubator.
So I must take eggs from incubator, and also my eggs in incubator are not placed like in cartons , they laying on the side so i think its better to transfer them in that postion..
I mean put the eggs in a bowl with a lid, arrange them on hand paper and put one bottle of gravel water on the bottom of the bowl.
Any ideas or someone with experience with transfering incubator
