Day 20

[buckeye lady]

7 eggs in Bator-Day 20 temp-99.5 with 75% Humidity. Eggs seemed to have tilted slightly, big end up.-Is this a sign? No peeps heard or movement seen.

It takes 28 days (I think) I couldnt tell anything was alive until when they started popping out of their shells

 

[streemers]

duck or chicken eggs?

 

[buckeye lady]

Chicken-Mutts and EE's.

You should have some action in the next 48 hours so hang on and enjoy ! Sending you hatching vibes !!!!

 

[buckeye lady]

Thanks for the vibes. I'm so nervous/excited. My first hatch. I can't stay away from that bator window!!!

 

[Chicken Woman]

Don't open the bator even when one hatches as you will lose your humidity and cause problems with the chicks sticking to the shell and can't get out. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Join the club!!! I have hatched several eggs, and I STILL can't stay away from the bator. I usually have a smudged nose print on the window looking in. It is really rediculous...I just need to get an automatic turner so I can just forget about them. That must make the time go faster. But I like to hand turn, I think it's better bonding.
