2015 August hatch-a-long!!

Jen, hard to tell by photos if they are quitters. I can say, that on day 11, you should be seeing movement. Watch the bottom of the egg..above the air sac, you will see a shadow move in those dark eggs if they are alive..having said that, not always. They start moving less often around then, getting big in the shell. Is the shell pretty dark? That's a good sign too.

Hope both yours hatch. I'm about to do my final candling on my silver duckwing old English game bantam eggs and put them into lockdown. Sunday should be the day.

I hope all of both of yours hatch!

Thanks, I just did the candling and 6 of 15 eggs made it to lockdown. Normally I wouldn't be happy with that number, but my little silver duckwing old English game bantam rooster met an accidental untimely fate.
Our first thought was to try to get another like him but then we decided to see if we could hatch any eggs from him. Five of the eggs were pulled from the fridge and I really didn't expect anything from them which is what happened.
Two had been added to the incubator a day after the others and one made it to lockdown. One didn't. So technically 6 of ten went into lockdown. Since our rooster was gone over a week before any eggs went in the incubator, I'll take what I can get. Hopefully we'll get another little roo with a big personality and a friend or two to keep him company.
