2015 August hatch-a-long!!

[Cynthia12]

Sounds like a lot of eggs being set again. I am setting 11 of my own tonight. I have some already in another bator..wait, did I say another bator?

I have to wonder who has the most bators now...or the biggest. I used to have 4, but I decided I best slow down, just a bit.

I'm so excited- I think I saw an internal pip! How long before it hatches??? It's so confusing having guineas - the hatch timeframes seem all over the place

How did you see the internal pip? Candled?
You will only .. see..an external pip. And hear...cheeping at times. Can take anytime from within the hr..to 24 hrs.. to hatch once externally pipped.

A week ago I took 3 silkie eggs I started in my bator and gave them to a broody hen while my Chanteclers hatched. Today I took them back from her and put them in the bator. Candled tonight and 2 of them look farther along than I thought they were, 1 looks about where it should. Should be interesting to see when they all hatch. Maybe 1 was out near the edge where it was cooler.

I just finished candling the eggs under my broody and of the three eggs I set 9 days ago I have one clear but two with beautiful veining! I also candled the two I put under her 3 days ago because of an incubator mishap (no development at day 6 inside incubator) and now 1 has veining! I know day three is pretty early so I am crossing my fingers for the others I moved from incubator to broody. Overall I'm pretty excited!

Lockdown for my second batch starts tomorrow. And I've already started collecting more eggs for another hatch

I really want to get more eggs too, but our family decided we had to wait till next year. Is there any way to fast forward time to spring? Lol

I took four eggs away from my broody to give her day-olds, as if I waited they would not have bonded to her. The incubator was in use, so I put them under a heat light. They are do to hatch the day after tomorrow, but I think I over-heated them, so should I expect them to hatch tomorrow? Or is it just a wait and see sort of situation.

Day 21 on eggs I set for my uncle. I had 65 out of 71 hatch. I moved the hatched out to the brooder giving the eggs left another day..
