4th of July Hatch-a-long

[Mypeeps2013]

Anyone planning on setting on the 12th for some patriotic chicks on the 4th?

I wasn't planning on it, but I could! Perhaps I'll set a couple Easter Eggers.

ok. SO I set 7 eggs yesterday, the 13th, at about 7:00 PM. they SHOULD hatch the fourth of july, but im thinking im wrong about when I set.

can anyone help me out? I thought if you set, say, the 13th like me, that would be day 0; the starting point. 21 days later there should be chicks? or am I wrong? is the day you set instantly day 1? im SO CONFUSED!

ive hatched chicks 3 other times this year and they all hatched early. 1 day early. AM I SETTING WRONG?


ANYWAYS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I set 2 Japanese bantam eggs from my own breeding trio, and 5 jappie eggs from a breeding pair that im starting up a new breed line with. silkie X Japanese bantam. LUCKILY I collected my Japanese eggs Wednesday, went to collect them Thursday,and BOTH HENS WERE BROODY! today thy are broody too.....so if I did set the wrong day I still have a backup for today. LOL

I got 7 OE eggs under a broody but they will probably be 5 days early. The last 2 eggs might hatch on the 4th. They were started over a spread of 3-4 days.

Oh. I want to see pics when they hatch. I haven't had any luck with quails yet.

The day you set the eggs is day 0 the following day is day 1. If you set the 13th you might get some early babies on the 4th but your day 21 will be the 5th.

I set my call duck eggs earlier in the week so they should be pipping around the 4th. Can I join the club? <3

 

[Bryam]

I set 24 silkie eggs! Due to hatch July 5th, close enough!!
