Christmas 2013 Hatch-A-Long!

[Crickett]

Nothing happening yet. Maybe I locked down too soon? I'm a little afraid to open it to turn them, should I or shouldn't I?

Okay, I gave in and turned them again.

Oh MY Goodness!! Anything yet? You must be going crazy (I would be)...Did you hear any chirping when you turned them today?

We have one pipping. We set some black orps, Silkies, and some bantam favorelle, I think, lol.

My d'uccles always hatch on day 18 =)

Our silkies are like that, they hatch like they were orville redenbachers eggs!!

Oh yeah. The disappointment is absolutely normal. I would guess that the 12 eggs that look the same as day 1 were not fertile, and that the power outage was not an issue. You're doing well.

Oletymer....any chick pics yet??....

Well our weather in claysville was a balmy 64 degrees making it 80 in my house....I checked the bator and it was 104

... out of 6 eggs 1 finally hatched It a buff brahma mix, all the others didnt make it, I have a dozen to start over again, When I checked the quiters I did have 2 black stars so maybe I can get the second batch to the finish line, now I have to move one of my younger pullets into a bin to keep this baby from crying...

no chirping, maybe they were asleep? I candled a couple, just to see if they quit, and all I could see was a very dark blob and the air cell. I HAVE NO FINGERNAILS LEFT!!!!!!! This is killing me! Augh!
