Adventures in Incubating Shipped Eggs

I took pictures before tucking them into the brooder for the night. The little brown one has splay leg so I put brace on it. I have another pip in the incubator.

They are very cute. How many more eggs are left in the bator?

So upsetting. I've been vigilant. Today is lockdown day! Whyyyyy today? Lol

My power went out for 4 hours on hatch day once all was fine.

Here are my two bielefelder chicks from the 13 shipped eggs. 1 chick didn't survive hatch and the other ones didn't quite make it to hatch. These two are named Uno and Dos by my sons and seem to be doing great!

The one with the very clear white spot on the head is a boy, but I can't tell about the one on the left in this picture... More photos please!!! I love my Bielefelder Rooster, he is gorgeous and super quiet.

Eggs 4 and 5 have both internally pipped. I'm super excited to see what breed(s) they are. Hopefully both successfully hatch.

And baby goose is getting stronger. I'm going to have to come up with something else to call it soon haha.

Yes, baby goose needs a name!

I had 2 more hatch last night, another is sorted hatched it’s malpositioned at the wrong end and has cross beak, I started assisting but saw blood and a clear jelly like fluid so stopped and put back in incubator. This was also an egg I had marked as saddle air cell. I still have 6 eggs left in incubator.

Posted this in "guinea hatch-a-long" and since they were also shipped I will post my results here too.

Today was hatch day. Shipped eggs from eBay no less. I researched sellers thoroughly and only bought from sellers with 100% feedback. Bought 13 guineas and 3 silkies. 2 silkies with blood ring on day 7. All 13 "goonies" viable and growing. I am thrilled with results. Hoping for same results with my peafowl in other incubator.
