We now have 3 beautiful cochin bantam chicks!!! My other 4 eggs have not pipped the air cell and I can't see any movement in them....today is day 21 and 15 hours...I know it is still early, but my 1st baby pipped the shell on day 20 and the other 2 pipped yesterday, right on time. My eggs were shipped and I did have a power outage one night for about 5 hours....the temp went down to 81 and they all survived that. In fact I was expecting them to be at least a day late because of the drop in temp. On day 18 all were alive and well. I figured I would give you guy's all the details before I asked, Do you think they may still be alive? Should I be seeing any veins? Should I give them another day?

Hi Everyone - !

Best of luck to all hatching today

Personally, I have had some issues with shipped eggs - it was a slight experiment but there were some problems with the eggs developing. Of the 22 eggs, I have still got 15 still in the bator, although of those only 5 show correct formation inside the egg once candled. Still hoping on these 5!!!

Of those 5, they may be any of these breeds - Welsummer, Buff Orpington, Lavender Orpington & Cream Legbar. So hoping they can make it through.

The other eggs showed sign of progress - but never at the right time and look very strange when candled.

Anyways, it's day 19 so the 30th is my big day.
Good luck once more,

That's my big day, too. Hope both our eggs make it. I have 5, too. Good luck!!

OMG, I am having a hard enough time not staring at the bator, now seeing cute hatchlings is making it even harder, LOL!

Thanks, after a closer look I was able to see movement in 3 of them and one had some liquid in the air cell. I went ahead and opened that one, he was head down and not moving...he must have drown. With this particular egg, I had noted on day 7, 14, & 18 of candling that he was not as active as all of my other eggs. That being said, I now have a dilemma.....my muscovy duck eggs need to go in the incubator tomorrow. I was not planning on having more eggs to incubate so soon, but my female started laying 10 day's ago. Only reason why I chose to incubate her eggs is because she has been unsuccessful at incubation herself. Nearly all of her eggs begin the incubation process, but never make it to hatch. I was really hoping to get her some ducklings.....I was going to try to stick them under her at the end if she had enough room for them!!!
