I hope too! let me know if the extra boost perks him up, I don't think it would hurt to just add it to waterer for all of them would it?

12 CHICKS OUT! Hatch complete until EASTER LOCKDOWN! Not bad at all for shipped little eggs!



NOW TO let everyone know what I did different with these eggs......

I didnt settle at all, I candled and set them upright in a carton in the bator and turned in a carton right off the bat, YES I DID! 45 degree angle one end of carton flip to other 3x day.
Didnt touch them until day 7 candle, all the air cells were stable but odd so I laid them all in the bator and turned 3x day. 1 early death, 1 dead at lockdown.

Do I suggest this? NOT WITH expensive eggs, until we know for sure its the method..... I will try this again and if I get another batch of shipped eggs, even though I dont see that anytime soon. SO DONT DO THIS AND FAIL AT HATCH AND BLAME ME OK?

HERE IS THE POST note the COMMENTS IN RED! But if your willing to test this with me, have at it! Just keep track for us!

Oh and we just got our first pip from our olive eggers that were part of the "found them at the PO" saga! For those who do not know they were shipped to us as replacements only to find them a week after they had been delivered unknowingly to us. They were at least 10 days if not 2 weeks old when set. I am hoping at least 2 out of the 4 possibles will make it. Yay for 1 pip, hope it is not a loner, tomorrow is day 21! Oh and it pipped really high???? Guess there is no need to worry about it. I am just used to seeing it closer to the air cell line. This pip is almost at the top of the egg!

What a cool story...Really Hoping they hatch for ya

AND A GOOD MORNING TO YOU!!!!

Awesome! I had to help one of mine that did that. Glad it worked for her.

Candled my eggs 16 out of 19 on my shipped eggs. Couple of air cells are still wobbly. 100% on my buffs that I set with the shipped eggs. Today is day 9 and I woke up to temps running high like 102 high. Let them get a cool off while I candled and I am adjusting the thermostat again. I am dreaming of a coolerbator...
