Anyone setting eggs starting July 15 -July 22?

[calichickies]

I have my first pip, it is my 7 year olds Buff silkie egg, he is going to be so excited!

The kids have so much fun with this don't they!

YOU said a HUGE mouth full !!
My familys kind but yawning.Older son tells me tongue in cheek on the phone;.Hows Tyson Farms doing? 'HAHA.They all know their crazy animal loving MOm, roll their eyes and wonder whats next.
(I never know myself !)

You said it! It is a full time job keeping up with all of you hatchers! *Whew!*

I just had to say congrats to everyone with new chicks.And to everyone that goes to all the trouble trying to hatch.I have been watching this thread since July 19 when I set 30 eggs.I really haven't had a chance to post. I candled them on day 14 and removed 7.The rest look great.I use a forced air hovabator and usually do dry hatches.I will spray them toward the end.I usually have good hatches with my barnyard eggs.Not so good with shipped.I am starting to get the urge to sit by and watch mine.Its about that time.I'm so glad to know I'm not alone sitting and looking at eggs for hours willing them to do something,anything.I can hardly wait to see what pops out this time.I love seeing pictures so I hope to see lots more soon.Thanks for letting me share.

Welcome and Good Luck!!

That just means that they have internally pipped (gotten through the air cell, but not the shell yet). It's exiting isn't it? My sister thought I was crazy when i kept coming inside and saying stuff like "It's PEEPING" "There's a pip!" "One hatched!" etc.

Good Info thanks!

11:31 .eeeeeeeee!.. Hes zipping

Isn't it just the most amazing thing!?! That was just a ball of snot 21 days ago... and NOW look at it! Ha! Amazing! Congrats!

My 17 year old daughter has been helping me with this hatch. She is officially momma to the little wryneck chick we have. She has named her Starr. What a great learning experience we give our kids!!!

My almost 3 yr old son is loving the "Chickies"- So fun!!

Woohoo!!!

Got another hatch....Up to 3 now!!!
Goin on 2 hours of sleep...but have tons of Energy!!
**think I should do this more often**

More!!! Yay!!!

HERE SHE((sheshesheshe(( positive thinking)) IS my first chick ever born about 12;15 last night .Good GIRL! I could sleep thru .Well almost thru had to check a couple times last night on humidity and her
She slept sprawled out crammed between the jar with cotton balls and the wall. Thought she was stuck but no..shes fine SOOOO Tiny!!Dont think my grown girls were that tiny when i got them!

Little worried though.Should i be? She seems to be panting somewhat with her mouth open a little, panting for sure...Its 99.5 in there and humidity is about 75 not higher.Is that normal? Shes all dry now too.

Congrats! Mine was panting a bit too, *she* was ok and I took her out once she was dry about 18 hours later. Great pic

Got another 1 hatched!!....that's 4 of 6 I putted in on the 17th!!
And 1 of 3 of the 18th is pippin!!!
YESSSS!!!....This Is Amazin!!!!

Another!!! Wow!!

well, the little chick died this morning and the last remaining egg has zipped but is just hanging out in his shell. looks very big.... so possibly 2 of 12 hatches...I do have higher hopes for the 40 eggs in the bator now , some will go on lockdown the 15th... They are ameraucanas and they are really moving in the egg when I candled them the other day... Everyone keep posting and I will keep trying....

Oh so sorry Good luck with your new batch...

Good Golly keeping up with this thread is hard work!!
Good luck everyone!!!

Please send out good hatching vibes for me. I've got 11 due to pip on Thursday, but their air cells are WAY too small... yikes! I'm hoping for the best.

I HAVE A CHICK! I will try and post pics in a few but it is soooo hard to see her on the screen! She matches the sawdust perfectly. . Must be from the leghorn mamma.

OH GOOD CALICHICKS.hope shes ok .she is moving all over the bator and peeps loud when i come in the room The rest of the time shes quiet.
Wonder how i would get a thermometer in there and keep the humidity good Do you think i could drop a glass human thermomreter down the hole on a string and then bring it up and get a reading? She does seem better when i the temp goes down to 98.8.But she pretty much was panting when she would peep a while and it was 99.5 .its a digital thermometer/ hydrometer can they be wrong by a lot?
I hit the reset button afte rthe last hatch. Would that have helped?

Geez the amount iI DONT know is astounding

Where are my other peeps? So quiet in there but for the little angel...Isnt she cute?EEEEE thnk i'll call her Midnight b/c she came out about 12 -12;15 (It would work for a boy too but lets not think about that Im proud Mama (sorry mycamnera is old and sucks)

What kind of chick is that Roxanne? That looks exactly like the first one that hatched out of my eggs!

 

[Roxannemc]

Ok baby will br in with other eggs due in2 days and 3. When is best to get her out.?Right now without a friend i thunk she would get coldbut the longer i wait the closer to hatch day for the other eggs.Tomorrow will be day 20 for another group.I am assuming they shrink wrap easier if they are pipped than not so Lay some knowledge on me?When should she come out?

 

[silkiemelon]
