**Mrs Fluffy Puffy! The little peepers I have now are EO Basque and the Trader Joe white leghorns.**
I am not sure if the TJ eggs are all white leghorns or if they use a cross. Either way, they came out will little yellow combs folded over and squished down on their heads. Below of a pic of the ones who have fluffed up and there are two more in the incubator that hatched this afternoon.
I had to help one because she appeared to be stuck and was growing weaker.But I am glad I made the decision to take her out and help because I don't think she would have continued to try much longer. Now she has finally gotten out of the egg and is resting. I still have two eggs that have not pipped. One is a TJ egg that doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it and the other is a Basque egg that had a bad saddle shaped air cell. I traced the air cell on the Basque egg but I don't hold out much hope for that one as I think it may have either died a late death or perhaps pipped in a very bad spot.
How long should I leave these unhatched guys in there? Day 21 ended yesterday at 5PM. Thoughts? Do they start to smell bad if they did die? THANKS ALL!
I have 48 eggs saved up so far.....By the by does anybody have Button Quail eggs? If so PM me please. I lost my last female and now I have two males...I need some females!!!!25 went into lockdown last night and this morning, set another 46 last night. Candled about 15 assorted eggs set for nyd... not a single bad egg even the silkies
Oh no! I hope all your eggs are okay!I just realized the incubator was turned off for the past 4 hours. I was cleaning out the largest of my aquariums to move in some new koi and while I was draining it, I turned off all of the power strips to stop the filters. I hadn't realized that my incubator was one of those plugs... Now I'm super nervous to candle tonight later tonight. What do you think their chances are? I can't believe this happened...
Look!! Look look!! I see my name!
NYD Hatch-a-long Digest for 12/22/12
Statistics: Contest5 was the #1 busiest thread, The main thread was #2
Sally Sunshine missed the #1 most posts! Blarneyeggs had ten more for the#1 spot.
Along with more eggs being pulled from the bator, some had incubator emergencies. Some were accidental while others had to do with power outages. Short times of low temps will only delay the hatch!
Brechin has a hatch going! TJs and EO Basque! Excited all night and day!
TMNfarm update! Lots of eggs, stats and stuff! The kids eggtopsied and all are very excited! Lots of emoticons going crazy in that post!
crissycriss got a first mille Fleur D'Uccle egg yesterday!
Aspen is very very very good at multi quoting! She also has great ducks and EO Basque chickens. I posted a picture of one of her EO Basque pullet that I hatched.

Bettcreek is having an awful time with Ducks! I hope the do better at her new place!
RavenWood wondered if the eggs being pulled would be good to use. Some said to give them to the chickens, dogs of pigs
Razadia can't find her place on the zoning map. She can't find a map either. They are not going to worry about the new chicken laws. I wouldn't either.
michaelf posted Turkey pictures!Aspen has too many pesky Turkeys at her place! Then she posted a Duck picture!
Hurley had a green shelled egg get stuck to tape and in a surrealistic way fell and broke!

I want pictures!!Hello, all! Today I got two new Muscovy ladies- a blue and a chocolateI'll get pics tomorrow.
How we all doing?
Waiting.....
Aspen here you go, this was when we were building the brooders
Will update since we added more and removed the screen walls for solid walls. The cabinet has an extra heater on top and all the leg and wing bands inside as well as medicines
This is from today sending a picture to a customer
These are the raised pens we use, each has a 3 sided shelter space and an in floor pool (cement mixing pan). When the ducklings are young we add a ramp for them to get out and can remove it as they get older.
use to use them for call ducks, but they are for ducklings now.
Awesome!
