~~thanks for your vote of "hang-in-there", sewandgrow I had my first chick hatch yesterday! I'm so excited and my second one hatched this morning and one more on the way, I think the chicks are being hatched naturally with their mamas. it's interesting, though. one hen was laying on all 10 eggs (which so happened to be the hen at the top of the pecking order), and then shared her own 5 eggs with the other lower pecking order hen, and so now they both have a chick each. they are bantam Malaysian serrama chickens...don't know if that makes a diff.

This is my daily comparison thread.... I am on day 14 and day 21 seems so far away!!! Your pictures keep reminding me that they are just not all the way ready yet even though I am! haha Thank you for your awesome pictures! This was an amazing project, I am glad you took the time to do this!

Any advice on these candling pics? First time hatching and these are day 8 guineas.

what did the guy on the first page use to candle. it mustve been a really bright light to see the body shape on day 14.

I use a tactical light from Costco. It's cheap an better than the cheaply versions from any store.

I use an led flash light with 125 lumins, which makes it possible to easily see the embryo movements regardless of how dark the egg shell might be. Target has several styles & sizes for a reasonable price.
