Hi everyone (and thanks for the invite, Sally!)
I'm getting ready for my first incubator hatch, planning to set eggs late Thursday night or early Friday morning this week for a hatch day around 4/26. I also started a thread in Hatch-a-longs, if anyone's planning one around the same time.

I'll be setting 41 eggs, as many as I can get from my own flock (Speckled Sussex rooster + Black Star, EE, and Light Brahma hens) plus some EEs and barnyard mixes from a local farm (including RIR, Blue Andalusian, Ancona, SS.) I'm also getting some eggs from the friend who adopted my EE rooster (she has some really pretty pastel EE hens,) and some Red Star eggs from another friend. So it should make for a fun game of who's who, assuming some of the eggs hatch!

I've got my incubator running (Farm Innovators styrofoam w/ egg turner and fan), and am finding blzzrdqueen's live stream EXTREMELY helpful; I'm starting to learn just how patient I'll need to be! I'm planning to do a livestream of my own on hatch day, assuming my slow DSL doesn't get in the way. Details (and photos) to come.

Just candled, day eight and one has a perfectly saddle shaped air cell (goes down of both sides) was just wondering what kind of complications i should expect if the chick makes it to lockdown? No pics because i would most likely drop either the i-pad, egg or flash light. Lol thanks.

I have a chick doing the paddle walk, I'm not sure if it's splay leg or what? I wouldn't know the difference. Anyway, I banded the two legs together, so they were at least under him, and not out to the sides. Does anyone know how long this takes to correct itself?

It sounds like spraddle splay leg but i have never experienced it myself, if it is u should start to see a difference in a few days.

Quote: I know, but what was weird about this is there was no (inner) membrane anywhere near the vessel! The chick somehow managed to break the membrane and make quite an opening, but got the vessel separate from it. That's why I said it was weird. I've assisted quite a few chicks and I've never seen this happen. I wish I took a pic so I could show you. I could see the vessel very clearly, with the edge of the membrane maybe 1/3" away.
wait was this a blood vessel or one of those cream colored stringy things? an actual vessel? oh boy! how is she now?
Yes, it was a blood vessel. Blood red, that's what caught my eye actually, the red, and it was a big one too. It took me awhile to figure out what it was, with the membrane gone. Crap, I should've taken a pic to show you

Anyway, little bit is doing fine. And she's got a buddy coming! We have a pip. And I'm about to scoot off and go see how the eggs under the broody's doing. Hope you get your internet sorted!
