Anyone going to have eggs hatch in novemeber?

I "candled" a few of Prim's eggs last night with my cell phone flashlight inside of my jacket and I can see veining! Is it possible to see movement in a 5-6 day old egg? I thought I did, but maybe I was just hoping....

Anyway, I'm hopeful that the cooling off didn't kill them... I dreamt about the eggs hatching last night. All the chicks were little silver and black cuties!! I think I'm obsessed and spend a bit too much time at BYC,

I have OCD.... Obsessive Chicken Disorder! :lol:

I could see what looked like pulsing from a small dark speck in the middle of the veins around then. A few days later the speck was bigger and jumping all over.
 
I think we all have obsessive chicken disorder.
And some of us are addicted to incubating eggs. I know I am. I am lucky, even though I live in the city they passed an ordinance that we can own 10 hens. Then my mom lives an hour and a half away and has a large property in the country.
If I add to many hens I have to buy her more kennel panels to expand her chicken pen. But other then that I can give her as many as I can hatch :D

I want someday to have a rooster and let my chickens go broody.

When I did my first hatch I really just wanted my Wellies but threw in some bantyX LF Buff Orpingtons. When they hatched I posted on a local sale page on FB to sell them at $3 each. They were all 13 spoken for in less than 20 min. So that encourages me that I will probably have a market for excess chicks almost any time. (No agriculture in my area and few people hatch their own chicks)
 
Yep, I had 45 hatch yesterday, and 15 more in lockdown due to hatch on Tuesday. They're staying in the house for 10 days, then out to the brooders in the barn.

Here is what hatched:
Mille Fleur Leghorns,
Eng/amer Lavender Orps
Swedes
Basque
Crele Laced Polish
OE (Crele Penedesenca X Cream Legbars)
OE X DLBBarnies
Sulmtaler X Crele Polish
Bantam Barred Rocks (from Shippped eggs)
Showgirls (from shipped eggs)

more of the same to hatch on Tuesday.
 
My eggs should be due the 29th of November. I barely make the November hatch lol. I also plan to have some due on Dec 25th or Jan 1st. Haven't decided which yet. Below are the ones I decided to put in the incubator. The darkest are MaransXEE so hopefully I'll get some Olive Egger hens out of the mix. The dozen on the lower right are actually blue. Its a shame they look nearly white in this picture.


 
I'm trying to get mine hatched.. I've candeled the ones that was rotten through... so i'm now on my last few days.. still.. here's hoping..
