Update on the eggs- I went up to my local farm store to ask about the eggs... Idk what's going on but my neighbors weren't there and they had a substitute running the store instead. And they had like nothing from their farm in the store.. But I asked the person there about the eggs and she said that she would ask them. I sure hope theyre alright!! :/

it was really tempting to put some of my own eggs in, but i've got 45 shipped eggs here. what if lots hatch? so i didn't.

i'm sorta strange about this hatch. i guess i'm getting more relaxed.

i didn't bother to candle before setting, so i don't know if i have scrambled eggs or not.

for some reason i've decided not to start the turner until day 2.

the speckled sat for a week after shipping. the bcms and sweeds sat only overnight.

my incubator seems to turn out most of the chicks on the evening of day 20.

WE GOT an egg in the silkie pen today!!!
FINALLY!! A creamy brown egg! but it was soft so I added more calcium chips! I stuck my finger through it by accident, so I tried to see if it was fert by the white roo Romeo but I musta got the yolk!! maybe tomorrow....

How long until calcium gets into their system????????????? hmmmmmm

So the silkie chick is doing better now that he is forced to stay upright in his cardboard circle. I brought him over to the water and he drank, so that is good. Also looks like he wanted to stay more upright than before.
