Quote: That REMINDS you?! How do you forget to candle your eggs nineteen times a day?
Only because I have been too busy today checking the OTHER incubator that has chicks hatching in it.

MC? step away from the bator! I haven't even set my silkie eggs yet, and you are making me crazy to candle mine!

Seriously!

Seriously!

I'm not sure I can wait much longer. I am collecting an egg every day (or every 2 days) in order to do the hatch along. But I'm debating just starting to do staggered hatches every 5 days... Set a few eggs, collect for the next 5 days, then set what i collect, wait another 5 days, set what i collect, etc....

I'm getting impatient.... just 3 (and a half) more days...

You should have a great hatch!

Local silikie eggs hatch much better.

This..is very...true!

I just had a SG hatch! Yaay, will get better photos tomorrow when she is fluffed up. Took some while she was still wet. I was hoping for a paint one, but got a black one. Her mom is pretty nice looking.

Wow...!!! I am offline for a few days taking care of some stuff and the forum explodes! 700 posts to catch up on... and counting. LOL! Someone want to catch me up (the shortened version, lol).

Oh, I put 4 duck eggs in last week. I think I timed it right. 28 day hatch would put them hatching out sometime New Year's Day(unless my Muscovy drake snuck a little Pekin tail). This is my first bunch of mixed ducklings. I was hatching pure pekins but I got a few new (colorful) drakes this past spring and they are finally getting down to business.

Still working on getting some chicken eggs (soon, I hope). I am overflowing in backyard mixed eggs(15 set for mid-month hatch), but I am getting some pure eggs possibly some bantams as well. I am heading to the farm possibly Wednesday so I should have them in plenty of time.

In the meantime, I would like to introduce Lemon and Gracie. The two newest additions to the chaos that in my home. (DH just spoils me, lol. He is such an enabler, lol!)
