Day 16 of incubating chicken eggs

[Jessie Jenkin]

im soo nervous about hatch day last time i incubated 8 eggs and only 2 hatched ahhhh :/

Don't be, So far i have had only 6 hatch out of the 20 eggs i put in, I have learned a lot since i started, i may have some bad eggs as i didn't date them as we collect eggs so they could be no good. Next batch will be my latest eggs and i will candle them, just got done building a candler. To be honest i was surprised any hatched at all so far. We was watching tv last night and started here chirps lol. Good luck on the hatch and keep all of us posted

Good luck on your hatch.

I have some in the hatcher due on wed. and thurs. I have one peeping in air cell, but I got these eggs from 2 sources one from a farm, mom was sitting on eggs a couple days, and one from a fridge that I have hatched from before. The fridge eggs look a tad behind maybe a couple of days. we will see eggs below were from my last batch.

what I meant to say was day 16 until you hear a peep is suspenseful!

So on Day 16+/-, I should see something?!
Mine first batch are 16 days today. It's a mixed batch of bantams and regular. The bantams seem heavier - definite slant to them.
Not that I'd admit it anywhere else, but I was sort of chirping to them today hoping they'd hear me and start recognizing my voice.
I'm anxious to see some proof of life...

a slant is good. they get quiet before a hatch.

Thanks for that advice
