13th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

[kurby22]

I candled eggs tonight and the first set of bantam EEs are at Day 10. I pulled the clears and have 6 that still look good. The second set are the d’Anver eggs that are on Day 7 and I originally thought I only had 4 developing, but I had one egg that I thought still showed signs of life so I moved it to one of the inner slots in my NR360, and tonight I saw lots more development! So as of now, I have 5 of these eggs going still. And my last set which is not a part of the EHAL because they only arrived on Saturday look to all be fertile, but still waiting to see the first signs of life! These eggs are rather tough to see into, so may be tough to pull any out. I’m surprised they’re hard to see into, as they’re just bantam buff Brahmas and a light creamy tan color. I’m hoping at least a couple make it!

My teeny porcelain d’Uccles are lonely since I moved their hatch mates outside, so I’m looking forward to giving them some friends soon! I think they will enjoy being the big kids for once haha. They’re only barely 4 weeks old and still so tiny and missing a lot of head feathers to keep them warm. I just couldn’t put them outside yet They’re too precious!

Candled last night. Pulled 3 clears and a blood ring, but almost all the others seem to be doing well. One seemed suspicious but I left it since I'm not experienced.

Some of the eggs I was able to see movement.

Still five live eggs out of the five I had remaining as of today, day 10 (average between the two sets of eggs). Come on, babies!

I have just set another 6 Pavlovskaya eggs from another breeder. Spot checked 2 of the first set, and.....babies! I'll give both sets of the eggs set previously a good candling on Friday. That'll be Day 9 for the Legbars and Day 7 for the rest of the Pavlovskayas.

I just candled mine. I had to pull 4. 3 were not fertile and 1 blood ring. All of my other eggs are doing really well, lots of movement

I attempted a full candling tonight while rotating eggs in the incubator but stopped when I accidentally dropped and broke one all fertile and developing with movement that I have candled
