It's day 20 on my Greenfire eggs I won at the chicken stock and not even one pip. I'm getting a little nervous. I usually get 95% hatch rate but I'm not sure how this hatch will do. Five of the eggs were so dark I couldn't candle them. The others (except 1) looked good yesterday at lockdown. I usually get a few pips on day 20. I bet if I didn't go look at my incubator every hour I might have a better outcome. Lol

"Keep Calm, Carry On"...wishing you all the best for your hatching! Hopefully there will be good news in the morning?

I'm not the type that usually worries about my hatch but for some reason I am worried. Tomorrow is day 21 so hopefully I get some babies.

Go away all day, they'll hatch perfectly and on their own when you are gone!

I have one pip on the dwarf eggs.

I will be busy today building 13 nesting boxes for the new cages so I will stay busy and not able to look at the incubator every few hours. Lol

 

[cherylcohen]

sure you will

I woke up to 5 lavender orps, 1 silver sussex, & 4 mottled javas peeping in the hatcher!!

8 more pipped

Making my rounds through all the California threads.

If anyone wants their breeder information added to the first post, go to the thread and post your information and list of what you have. Look at the first page and see how I list it and then post accordingly.

I'm also adding Nevada breeders and I think today I'll offer spots to Oregon and Arizona. Trying to cover the borders as well, so anyone who makes the trip across can have access to the closest out of state breeders.

hmm maybe I'll do a little copy and paste to get this done quickly.
