BYC's 2023 Spooktacular Halloween Hatch-Along

[ronott1]

So far 26 babies have hatched and I’m really surprised I was expecting way less. And a possibility for two more to hatch they aren’t piped but I’ll leave them an extra couple of days just to make sure they aren’t going to hatch

Mine usually hatch by the end of day 17 but that was also during the warmer months so when it’s colder it could take longer.

It's official!
I'm in.
I set 11 freshly laid eggs.

I'm going to add some eggs from my fridge soon as I get up out of bed. View attachment 3659034View attachment 3659035

24 hours later I added seven more eggs that I took out of the refrigerator. They have been in the refrigerator at least one week, possibly longer than one week.

All clears have been pulled.

Must resist candling until this coming Wednesday when they will have been incubating for 6 to 7 days.

Wow you have a strong will I can’t even make it 3 days

Out of sight out of mind .... keep up the mantra, "you do not need to candle until 6 or 7 days in."

Its hard work having will power. LOL.

I make it to maybe day three sometimes then it’s candling every single day I have 0 will power

Same I couldn't hold out any longer and candled my polish eggs yesterday, which I set on the 11th. I mean.... I can now say they're all fertile at least lol. It's so pointless candling them so early(since the veins are so tiny), but it's so so hard to resist.

Candled my eggs again.

My 3 chocolate turkey eggs set to hatch Halloween are looking good. There’s 10 chicken eggs in with them, set to hatch Oct. 22-23. All 10 look good two.

For the chicken eggs set to hatch Halloween, i had to toss one rotten egg. I think I may need to up calcium or something for my ayam cemani hen, since the egg came from her. 11 chicken eggs set to hatch that day though.

I set 6 more turkey eggs the same day as the chickens, so theyll be hatching way past Halloween. I saw veins in one though! Leaving them all in for now, just to see if time will make more grow. I didn’t see veins in the first set of turkey eggs until like day 10.
