Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

[sumi]

Candle them to see if they pipped internally. What day are you on again? Sorry I'm losing track with all these hatches going on. If you are over day 21 and your temperature was correct throughout incubation they might need a little help if they don't make progress. I usually don't worry until day 22-23 and the chick shows signs of being in trouble.

good morning

I have funny little noises coming from my bator........ chicken noises.

My niece and nephew's egg study cochins are getting ready to start the hardest day's work of their lives.

Hopefully they will all hatch today so I can get them to their new home before the end of the weekend,

I should be posting pics on my thread of the chicks growing in the Philippines in a few hours. Just waiting for them to be uploaded to dropbox.

I'm on day 22. Decided to candle the two that had been rocking and no internal pips. also it seems like the air sacks are still the same size from day 18. So what could be the cause of this?? Is this why they aren't hatching?

How big are the air cells? Could you post a picture?

These are the two eggs I've been watching rock inside the incubator. Do their air sacks look normal??

Update on squirt:
Squirt is still alive, but his yolk sac just seems to be getting worse. I took the other chicks out of the bator and left squirt in to absorb but his yolk sac is just coming on not in.....

by next week it will be a distant blur and you will be hunting for eggs for the easter hatch along

Yes!!!

we have pips in the silkie egg and the cochin egg in the hatcher.... hopefully they hatch soon because I need to clean it for all the silkies sizzles and serama headed in on sunday!!

Did I mention I am chicked out? LOL I better get a grip as I have a looooonnnnggg way to go until this bator is empty!! Harmony is getting serama eggs from Bhep (giving them to her to boot!) and they should be here tomorrow and she told me 18 she is sending her! OMG! Harmony is thrilled, we have well over a doz button quail eggs in but I think they are all hens! I get three eggs a day! so I am getting someone elses buttons next week and will set them and pray for a male. AND then I am saving silkies and cochin for the easter hatchalong!! So I will have quite a few chicks to sell by the end of the month! but who knows with shipped eggs right? always expect less than 25% and if you get 50-75% you lucked out big time!

I am still paranoid about bubba, I still have bubba and his two friends aside me almost all the time! and I am forever peaking in on them, I think bubba hates me for all I have done to him, he runs as fast as he can when he sees my hand! the others run to peck me! LOL even his stance is closing up!

ALSO my spitz are getting their mohawks already! they just started to pop up and so cute!!! and the WFS are sleek little guys! I think it takes a long time (a year?) till they get the actual white faces, Sumi gal help me here?

Aww YAY! So many breeds! I am jealous! I am glad I have mixes with delawares and ameraucaunas though! Those are cool breeds!
