I have 15 eggs set to hatch on April 16. I'm really excited!! They are a mix...some will be purebred buff orps and some will be a buff orp roo over barred rock hens...SEXLINKS! I'm super thrilled.

I candled yesterday, on day 15, and all were kicking around...every last one. I have 4 kids and we are waiting with baited breath.

So, the bantam's finally started to do something just as I was going to give up on them. Last night they started to pip and I had three hatch as of this AM. I have two pipping. So far I have had 1 barred rock and three Rhode Island Reds hatch. The RIR are beautiful chicks.
The Dominique/Barnyard Specials are doing well. I had to help one along since he was starting to get stuck. I used a little veggie oil on the membrane and he just popped out into my hand! I was not expecting that and almost dropped him! It was cool! I normally don't help but he was sooooo close....I just had to lend a hand and a q-tip full of oil!! He is doing awsome!! I also have a chick that has blue eyes. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen.
So far here is the tally:
Barnyard Special-started with 12 hatched 4
Bantams-started with 12 hatched 4 with two more working in it.

My hatches are finally over. Tossed the last egg today. I had a total of 8 bantams hacth from 11. Two were early quitters and one never hatched. I did an egg-ectomy and he or she must have drowned. I'm thinking that when the eggs got kicked around he must have been rolled about.
The barnyard mix hatched a total of 5. I set 12-4 were early quitters and 3 were not fertile. Not bad for spending only $1 for a dozen.

Dh came home yesterday with 6 Ring Neck Pheasent eggs to try. I'll set those tomorrow morning once I get the incubator cleaned a bit and the humidity set. They take 24 days to hatch.

Here is a pic of the new babies:
