Anyone hatching Dec 14th? Looking for hatching buddies for 1st hatch!

I think we saw movement as early as day 5....but day 7 for sure. There was pulsing for sure on day 3-4 I believe. Good luck!!

I concur. I believe I saw movement for sure around day 5. I didn't expect it as soon as it occurred so when it did it scared the day lights out of me. Here i was turning them and taking a quick glimpse at one when this little ALIVE THING wriggled at me <3 Nearly had a heart attack. Unfortunately after that point I was flung miserably into worrying mother hen mode anything goes off for even a minute (like one degree too cold or too hot) I fret that my babies died

YEE HAW!! There are very bouncy chicks inside their shells!! I was a little apprehensive to candle, I was expecting to not see anything ...but there are really active chicks inside!
They had no problem sliding around, even wiggling to the side....it was beautiful! I have never had children so this is the closest thing to an ultrasound for me! I am so proud!
Out of the 6 Splash Jersey Giants, there are definitely 4 alive and kicking....there is one that isn't as active and one egg that is so darn dark that I can only see a dark shadow inside.
Out of the 5 White Jersey Giants, there is one active and a possible runt...at least it seemed kind of smaller than the others, but then again I set the Whites in a day after the Splash.

I'll post a photo of one of the Splash as soon as I figure out how to post photos!!

Awwww....congrats on the little wigglers! I am with Rin, I have become totally obsessed with the temp etc. As the cold temps take a dip at night it takes me a bit to get the temp to stable off where I want it prior to going to bed. So yes, I have been staying up a little late.

Maybe the more times I hatch this obsession will go away?? Or maybe it will just get worse. LOL!

I candled again last night as well. 3 of 4 of my bantam eggs are looking good. My kids get such a kick out of seeing the babies moving. I am with you 4CrazyGirlz I am obsessed with temp and humidity now.

I am obsessd with the temp and humidity too.. so you can amagine how worried i am right now.. My incubator is going nuts and wont stay in the 99 degree like it had for 24 hours befor i put eggs in

i am just hoping they are all ok!

Okay candled mine, looks like 11 White Rocks are good, some I couldn't see very well, but I think they are good. 13 Cornish bantams are good. Yippie!

 

[4CrazyGirlz]

Sounds like everyone is doing well.....except for those of us who are obsessing and losing sleep because of the temp and humidity. LOL!!

I woke up at 4 am last night, because I was hot. I thought "My Eggs!!!".....ran in there and looked at the temp..."whew" holding steady at 99.5. My last hatch i didn't have a fan so my temps would jump around quite a bit. I'm having to get use to this fan thing, the temps never jump more than a 1/2 degree. Soooo cool!

LOL!!

So glad I am not the only one. I think I am going to have to upgrade my incubator already. This was suppose to just be something I did as a project, but it seems this project is quickly turning into a hobby. Oops!
