Absolutely!

I'm letting them rest for a bit after moving everyone around. I'm sure I will be candling shortly. Hoping everyone looks ready to go into lockdown!

Good luck Faerytalefarm!

I know it is time consuming and nerve racking. And once you get that done you get to bite your nails and watch the clock until the little guys hatch.

I am completely exhausted. I can't wait until I get home and see what else (Hopefully) hatched! I can't take a second night without sleep.


Good luck to you too AG! I too built my incubator. I am interested to see how your hatch turns out. I hope everything is okay with your wife.

I don't know how you functioned after being up all night! I hope they hatch this evening or hatched while you were at work!

Praying all my little fuzzy butts hatch and are healthy!

MY EGGS ARE MOVING!!! Theyre so early though! When will they pip? Can i candle? Should i wait to lockdown when the first pip happens?

Joining very late, as today is lockdown, but thought I would go ahead and share. I started with 8 eggs from a mixed flock of cochins, brahma, EE, and mixed breed banties. At day 5, 6 were developing, and 2 were duds. As of today, I had one quit around day 8, but the other 5 are good to go. I'm hoping one of them is a silkie egg, as my last silkie was killed by coyotes a few days after I found an egg near her regular perch. Fingers crossed!

@Luvducks - My daughter has a couple BEW lionheads in her herd. They're so stunning! Love those blue eyes!

Pics Day 18

Okay so here is what I cam home too!

This little guy was the one that hatched this morning.

This one managed to trap itself behind my water tray and heat sinks. He is close to being tangled in the thermometer cord but I am keeping an eye on him. As tempting as it is to open the incubator and pull them all out I am refraining.

This little guy trapped himself as well but he hopped back over since the pic.

So, far 6 out of 10 hatched. One in the picture is zipping along and the remaining three have been tossed around and I can't see what they are doing (I know at least one has pipped but I don't see much happening)

It is so tempting to pull the chicks out and check on the other eggs but I am not going too. (Sorry for the dark pictures...these are the best I can get through the glass with a flashlight....it was too bright when the bulb came on for my camera)

We have had eight hatch so far! There are still some rocking and chirping... which is weird, cause we are at 22 days! just had three more this early morning!
anyway, we are waiting for the rest... pictures to come this afternoon later!
