Awww I want to see some pics of those when they hatch! I bet they're really cute!

These will be 3rd and 4th generation mixes. So I'm curious what genetics come through. On our 2nd and 3rd generations last year we had a good amount of Silkie fluff happening! And some great hair-dos!

hi, I will be hatching monday. first time. put eggs in hatcher tonight. afraid to go to bed in case temp spikes. started with 34. silkie, silkie mixes, and mutts. thought 3 were not fertilized. put in the freezer over night to make sure nothing was alive in case I was wrong. took eggs elsewhere to open. no smell at day 14. of the 31 left I think 1 is bad but left it in case I was wrong. I put the lg eggs in an egg carton and the bantams are loose. 3 of the silkie eggs were in the fridge for 2 days before the bators arrived. they are very much alive! have fingers crossed that they hatch. eggs say fridge on them and they are the only silkies in that hatcher. of course I will have to keep 1 of them if they hatch. any suggestions on names for fridgies?

Yes, I would be interested. I have some eggs that are clear and some that are "murky". The murky ones are throwing me off, but the more pictures I see the more education I will receive!

I have button quail eggs due on the 20th... But you never know with these guys, some times they hatch late.. Or early.

This is my second hatch ever.. First hatch didnt make it in my home made bator.. Only one hatched and he was weak and didnt make it..

This time my eggs are in a Lyons Turn X6.. With turner.. So hopefully I get a better hatch.. I have 3 of my own eggs in there.. And 18 eggs shipped from washington state.. If they hatch I should get pied, smokey, ivory, and tuxedo..

today we culled our two standard roos (first time culling). I hope to never have to do that again! Terrible!

Well, culling wouldn't be bad if you got some meat out of it

Ok so it's still bad, but I can't seem to do it with my bantams.

This is my first post, first hatch, first everything! I have 25 egg in my bator due to hatch on the 21st... They are buff orp, RIR, Br and 1 welsumner. I candled them and 2 look empty. The rest have air bubble at the large end and black blobs down below. I have looked online at tons of candeling pics, but still don't really know what I am looking at. I have them in a Little Giant bator with egg turner. My temps have been pretty steady 99-100. The humidity has dipped a couple time to 38 but stayed mostly between 41 and 45. I am a nervous wereck!

my chicks are due to hatch on the 23rd one week to go. UGH why can't they hatch a week after they are laid
