I want to join! I have mutt chicken eggs in the bator that are from RIR, Buff Orp, Americauna, White/Cornish, and one barnevelder hen. I should have alot of different looks I think. I also have 31 jumbo coturnix eggs in. They are all due to hatch the same time frame, between April 16-18. I have 21 chick eggs in there. Can hardly wait! I am on day 10 and I have candled all but the olive colored eggs and the dark eggs and they are all growing!! I candled a couple coturnix eggs too and they are also growing and doing well WOOHOO! Can't wait for peepers.

Of the 7 eggs in for lock down, 6 have hatched. The other one is rocking and rolling.

OH, aren't they cute and bright eyed.....am thinking they are wanting out!

They hatched just in time, our power just went out! I put them in the brooder with hot packs, there's one egg left in the incubator, I hope the power comes back on soon or the duck eggs in my other incubator are in trouble

I hope your power problems are solved, soon!

I set 41 eggs in my new Hova Bator for the Easter weekend hatch. I know the 5 bantam eggs are going to be iffy because I don't know how long they sat on my folks' countertop. 12 of the eggs are Ameraucana eggs from rockinpaints, 15 eggs are from my Silkie-X hens, and the remainder are from my Buff Orp-X-Ameraucana. I should have an interesting batch of chicks!

Candled my 5 test eggs, they are on day 14. Lots of veins and movement, even my husband was interested in seeing, and he hates chickens! It's gonna be a long 7 days for me now, seeing as how it's my first hatch and I got a more eggs to go in when these hatch out!! This is addicting!!!

Hello

Collin my (18 yr old) placed 6 eggs under 2 broodies on 3/27th 4 eggs are black cochin bantams, two are regular brown eggs - hoping one was from the cuckoo maran with the copper maran roo but it could be a mix. Our hatch date is April 17th.

One egg the broody tossed out of the nest, I put it back but later it was cracked so I took it out. We now have 3 bantam eggs cooking and 2 standard.

Both broodies are doing well and acting broody. They leave each day for a little sip and sup and back on the eggs. Sometimes I have to check the nest because I keep finding a new egg unmarked under the broody - can't have that!

I have my FIRST shipped eggs coming in today!! It's like Christmas! I'm waiting for the call from the post office.

I am very excited! My first hatch went well with 25/30 hatching... I am getting Lt Brahmas, Silkies, BLRW's and possibly some Blue wyandottes and some Blue Wheaten Marans.. WOOT WOOT...

I guess I will be in the "may hatch along" since I will be setting Saturday

Just went down to my bator because I couldnt wait any longer to candle them. Everything is looking awesome. I had 100% fertility. so out of the 48 eggs that I set there are 47 that are still looking good and all veiny. The one that didnt make it had a detached air cell and it looked like it made it to day 6 or so but who really knows. All but one egg is from my Americanas and are mostly all blue eggs. I have a pink one or two but most are blue. Cant wait for the hatch as I am getting some new eggs to hatch out for another project on the 28-29.
