Anyone starting eggs today (6/26)? Hatching July 17/18

[yoda2293]

Hi, I put 3 EE eggs in my little 3 egg R-Com on the 26th. It's my first time hatching so i'm really nervous! Glad some other BYC folk are hatching then too, best of luck to you all!

Yeah, I can drive myself nuts wondering and worrying. So, I try to wait until I can definately tell. I am not that good at candling, don't always get what I see right. I have had eggs hatch that I thought were bad. Plus, I am very busy with my farm, too much other stuff going on with breeding my mares and training my youngsters.

Here's what I set from my gals on the 26th!

12 Welsummer eggs -10 are doing great, candled this morning and pulled 2 duds
2 Splash Marans -both doing great
1 Blue Ameraucana Double yoker ( I just had to try

)

Candled my eggs. 6 out of 6 speckled sussex from Bargain are developing!!!!

I can't see a thing through the dark shells of the BCM.

Well, I'm down from 10 to 7. I took out 2 of the speckled sussex today that don't show any development and one of the barred rock, looks like development stopped about a week ago

Of the 7 left I'm hopeful for 4 or 5 but don't know enough about candling to be all that sure. I'm not thrilled with my incubator, I thought it would be easier to regulate the temperature than it is.

ah well, less than a week left. I'll say a little prayer that at least a few of them make it.
