I have three out in my latest hatch and another pip.

I came down this morning to find my day 16 eggs cold as stone as the bator had switched off!

I have it on and will candle tonight but I am heart broken!

That is awesome! I just hatched 12/13 shipped light brahma eggs. I'm ecstatic. 1 never developed and I didn't lose another. I'd been losing about 50% around lockdown, and now I think my humidity was too high. I stagger hatches- I have two turning incubators and 1 for lockdown. I laid down my biggest lockdown ever on the 30th -37 eggs. Lavender Orpington, Barnevelder, Gold Copper Maran, Splash Maran, and pure Ameraucana. Fingers crossed.

Today is day 19. Went into lockdown yesterday with just 3 eggs in the mini. These are pretty important eggs, though. Two are splash ameraucana and one is a lavender ameraucana. Drove to a local souce to pick up 7 eggs, but 4 ended up clear. I've wanted a splash for a long time, so maybe . I have a blue marans roo, so hoping to hatch out a few olive eggers in the future and in the meantime, make my egg basket prettier.

Haha, I just reread my post and realize I was ASSuming I was getting all pullets.

The 3 eggs hatched right on time. I have a nice trio. The lavender's color is pretty dark with a light beard, so maybe a split?? And I have a blue and a splash!! Got the splash I've been waiting for. Now, if they're all pullets...
