Anyone setting eggs starting July 15 -July 22?

[LeelaK05]

We had our first pip yesterday morning around 8:00 a.m. That egg hatched about 6:30 this morning.. And now we have 3 more hatched... so it takes quite a while.. 24 hours from first pip but oh so worth it!!! Patience is not one of my better qualities... but it worked... we have a total of 35 eggs to hatch. So we will see what happens. I set aside 4 eggs (before lockdown) I didn't think they were going to hatch but 1 of them pipped last night around 7:15 p.m. so you never know what is going to happen!!!

Loving this!!

OMGosh!!....think I will go crazy to wait for my 1st chick!!!

I would go ahead and get some electrolytes and vitamins. I went to the feed store for my electrolytes (around $5. ) Directions said 1 oz/gallon so I sat down and did the math for a quart. Let me know if you need that info. I also bought PolyViSol infant vitamin drops WITHOUT iron at Walmart. (around $8) My first chick was born with wryneck and that is what we have been treating her with. Also put a droperful of the vitamins in the other chicks water just to be on the safe side.

2 Pips! 2 Pips! I've got 2 pips and the angry chirps of a chick that doesn't want to be in the egg any longer

I'm about to order my next set of eggs too

English imported Orphingtons! I can't wait. They're so big and fluffy! I just LOVE them.

I am going to order some at the end of this week and hope to set next week when they come in. Time to start a new thread I am thinking...LOL

I don't a huge flock so I'll be happy with a 40-50% hatch rate. I'll then have English Orphingtons and SLWs (but I'm buying pullets because they cost so much I want to see what I'm getting with them)

I just left the house to meet with a buyer and I'm so antsy to get back home. I hate leaving when chicks are close to hatching.
