August Hatch-A-Long!

[bestponymilo]

Oh my goodness!!! I just found a clutch of 16 eggs at my mom's house!!! Heard the hen singing her egg song and went to find her. Once she was done she got right up and went away. I got down and felt that most of the eggs are cool to the touch, except the one she just laid. Is it worth putting them in the bator? There's eggs from three different hens in there. None of them are broody. We see them all throughout the day.

Just my opinion, but it's always worth popping them in to see what you get

Set 6 mixed Wyandotte eggs....2 never did anything the other 4 going strong. This is my first hatch and I know why they get the saying fussing like a mother hen. On day 20 have 3 chirping in their shells and one tiny crack just appeared.....so excited !!

How can you hear them? I feel like I need a stethoscope. I'm on day 19 but not hearing anything... I don't think.

Quote: maybe tomorrow! after they pip their air, they will chirp a lot when they are chipping the shell...after the air cell rest learn to breath, ethen pip outer shell so they have more air...chirp wiggle and tap a little which gets the rest of the yolk to absorb and blood to absorb...then......zzziiipppp!!

did you candle before you locked them down? how did they look? if they had any time while incubating where they cooled some they would be a little late

No they are under a broody hen which does not let me any where near them so I never candled them
