I love the pic of the little chick! What kind is it? It is so cute!

So a fragile box gets smashed??? It's too bad the USPS doesn't have some competition.

Well my jb coturnix eggs came in the mail today! Thought they were gonna be scrambled cause the box was smashed in on one side but they are all in one piece. Now to wait a few days and see if they will grow. There are 16 and they will be due to hatch out on the 14th of March. Now just to wait for the BBS Orpington eggs to come

OH! and Im day two on my eggs in the bator and guess what? I candled one of the white ones today and its growinggggggggg

Well I hope your shipped eggs turn out ok, I'm getting shipped eggs for the Easter hatch-along, now I'm worried.

I set 22 eggs on February 19 this is my first time to hatch eggs and so far all my white mixes I can see the baby moving, still not too sure with my two green ones and my brown ones. The green ones are thick shelled and hard to see. I also have three chicken eggs light brown that are extra tiny about the size of a ping pong ball. Im hoping for lil tiny babies. Pygmy chickies maybe lol

Awwww I hope you do get pygmy chickies they would be extremely cute

Interesting.Would like more info on how you made it and how it works out.I have a dehydrator sitting here collecting dust.

You have "set" them to hatch, in an incubator, under a broody hen, etc.

have 1 rooster (RIR) and 6 hens.(RIR) mix
I have an excaliber 9 tray dehydrator
I took all but one of the trays out. put a plate of water in the bottom.
I cut a shoe box in half lenght ways to make a top and bottom.
Placed the eggs in there along with the temp gague
My dehydrator has temp setting that I do not trust.
So I took my electronic weather sensor and put it in there to get an accurate reading on the temp.
I may have it wing it on the humidity.

Do you keep low humidity for the 1st 18 days just like for chicks ? I am just curious. Several years ago ( I knew nothing about hatching anything) I put chicken eggs and duck eggs in my incubator. The chicks hatched fine but the ducks only pipped then died. After reading and reading on BYC I am only guessing maybe my humidity was too high. Thanks for any info and wishing you good luck with your hatch
