I set 25 and no they were not shipped. Bought local. Except for #25 and that was mine. 5 were infertile and clear at day 14 and 3 were early deaths. I didn't eggtopsy but I could... They are still in there. Wasn't sure I'd have the stomach for it. Just a small darker mass in the middle no veins present. But there is "something" in there.

Frozen?

I freeze extra eggs for eating and baking this winter when no one feels like laying. Crack, scramble freeze.

Hey guys!

For my art final, I'm doing a series of drawings of embryonic development on blown out goose eggs. I plan to draw embryos at 0 days, 5 days, 10 days, 15 days, and 20 days. Here's my first one, it's of a 15 day old embryo. I understand that it may not be accurate, so please critique the embryo if you can. I tried to make the fluff look more wet, but it didn't work out.

Amazing!

Awesome hatch! Probably a quiter and at this point I would not open.

tell me about it!

Okay! I get up in the morning, and put on a coat. Twenty minutes later I go out with vegetables, and sweat in a pair of shorts.
I turned off the heat lamp (finally!!) for the 7 -week-olds last night, and candled the eggs. I checked a BCM, and could only kinda trace the air cell. I candled an EE, and was able to see the veining. The temp is still going between 100-102.
Aren't Marans hard to hatch? I thought you guys (in PA Unite) were talking about it a while back.
I am skipping the stuff from the last few days I didn't read. Anything I should know?
My Marans hatched fine. My eggs aren't the darkest, but they're pretty dark. I know, the darker the egg, the harder to hatch.

yeah, I could do with a lot of hugs at the moment! Gosh, one moment I'm laughing, next moment I'm crying. I'm a mess at the moment, but I'm trying to stay positive. We'll get through this. We've been blessed with lovely people, on BYC and people we met here, who are doing their best to help smooth the path for us and who are supporting us all the way. It means so much to me.
Sumi, I'm sorry! I promise it gets better, no matter what it is! There is light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm sorry. was i not supposed to ask about incubators?

Today's summary ~ 4/24 (midnight thru current)

smitten chicken shared the hatchcam with us .. theres some exciting hatching going on at the moment -

http://www.homegrowngourmet.org/hatch-cam/

several others have hatchings going on as well today - tony (now known as nestinghillssc - for those who were not aware of the change) , rennerae, sally is either hatching or getting ready too (as per her usual -

) and bellah just hatched some pretty babies recently as well ... if i missed anyone who is hatching ..well congrats to you all

Mine went into lockdown today - anyone else with me there ?

Doug has some little cuties he shared pictures of, including an assisted hatch that seems to be absorbing and healing well .. and also seems to be needing to start a second chicken house

Tony and myself had shipped eggs issues but toast and jelly had a great shipment !!!

mikkles deciding to quit lurking

and join in the chatting fun - - mikkles ( and yes there is nothing wrong with getting a still air if one was just happening to think about getting a second incubator - that is the group consensus so far)

our miss sally has an incubator full of eggs still - for some reason

- and offers and still more and enquiring minds want to know
how in the world do they hatched all piled up there miss sally ?
and
how does one keep eggs staggered in the bator for hatching without messsing up others that are still growing ???

sally also gifted our friend sparky with a golden feather and for that she is in thanks and very

!!!

cody42 stopped by to report on the staggered turkey, guinea, duck, chicken hatch and think there is some growth going on !!! and we all wish a good hatch there !!

Hopefully for those who had indy 500 sentiments these new summaries will help !!!

Gorgeous! I seriously thought you carved the top off of an egg. It took me a triple take to figure it out!
