I would love to join!!! I have a hatch day of October 22.

I set 12 eggs from our flock and pitched 5 banty eggs due to them being clear (broke them open to make sure) on day 10. The eggs that are left, 4 are in question, 1 I believe has a blood ring and 2 are thriving as of 10 days. I'm trying the dry incubation and egg carton methods. We shall see how it goes.

Happy hatching everyone!

I have a question for the group about lock down. I set 4 eggs at 11:30pm on 9/26 and 10 eggs at 7:15pm on 9/27. Now based on what I have read from everyone you start counting day 1 as the next day after you set your eggs. Now based on that I would lock down 4 eggs as of tomorrow night and the remaining 6 eggs on Saturday evening. Now since all of the eggs are in the same incubator should I lock down tomorrow morning, tomorrow evening or Saturday evening? What do you think?

Hi, I would like to join too. I put 50 eggs in bater on 9/26 and 5 more in on 10/4, but mine are ring-neck pheasant eggs and take 23-24 days to hatch. So they should start the 19th. In my previous 3 hatches, I had a few that didn't hatch until 26+ days, but chicks were fine. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), I can't candle the eggs because they are a dark green and too dense to see anything. I haven't had extremely good luck, but I think my humidity was too high. I followed the instructions that came with the incubator.

The third time, I took out the turner and turned by hand and had much better luck, although only about 30% made it. I don't know what I will do if I get a much higher %, I'll have chicks everywhere! Looking forward to seeing all your new chicks.
