California - Northern

14 out of 18 EE eggs are developing, and 11 out of 21 TJ's eggs are developing. I have a feeling this will be a good hatch! ...knock on wood.

I may have candled today, on day 5--only from the top and I was very gentle...I may have see veins in 3 of 5 Pita Pinta eggs. There may have been something going on in some Freedom Ranger eggs too. Those are a bit darker so I did not see veins but I did see that look they get before you see the veins.

It should be a great hatch!

Awesome! Today is day 5 for me, too.

Yea! Hoping for great hatches for both of you!

SO excited- I set seven TJ eggs, two never started to vein up at all. Of the five that did, I can still see movement in all five on day 14! One of the ones I had to seal with wax I was having trouble seeing (and I limit myself to ten seconds of checking because I'm paranoid) but what looked like a little foot moved into and just out of view next to the wax blob twice. I was so excited I almost started jumping up and down, but luckily for the egg I didn't.

I was hoping to get one or two of the battery Leghorn type birds from this batch. Knock on wood, I could do better than that!

We are still camping and having a great time. Went for a drive and I now have a slip of paper with a phone number for muscovies that came from the board at the OBrien store...

Ok so CL are hatching.
Are you ready?
12 boys and 3-4 girls so far.
Ya I can't believe it , but that's how it goes.
At least it's a great hatch lol!
1-2 more to go.
I'm banking on the boys will be great to eat.
They were all washed in either activated or unactivated oxine.
I had 18 do well on developing out of 20.
The activated washed ones had egg yolk dried on. About 6 of them.
And one in lock down still had some on it...AND HATCHED!
I'm happy with using even the activated. Don't think the yolky ones would have done well.
Due to hatch today but the first one came out Saturday! Washed in activated oxine.
Really early boy there.
I should have traded @chiqita eggs and would have had more girls

Oh, wow... I hope the last 1-2 are also girls, at least. The boys sure are pretty. Not pretty enough to keep a dozen spare ones around, but still awfully pretty.

Well, I am not sure about Northern or Southern but how about Central?
I live in Visalia. I am relatively new to chickens but so far so good. I started out with 4 hens. I bought 6 chicks in March. 4 lived and are thriving. Basically doing this for eggs because store bought make me sick.

Thanks this is a great help.
