Congratulations! What a great experience for your child (and you)!We have some "chick-chicks" as my 18 month old calls them. Lol it's like Christmas around here
My first incubation attempt was in early April, using 9 shipped eggs. If incubation is stressful, I found that incubating shipped eggs was even more so!! The shipped eggs had a really rough trip, so I had mostly clears and blood rings by Day 7 (confirmed on Day 10). Only 1 egg made it to lockdown. It pipped but died in the shell. I was so discouraged by the Day 7 candling results that I got some local barnyard mix eggs, which have hatched really well. I think the difference in success rates was shipped vs. non-shipped eggs. This is not meant to discourage you, as I'm really hoping your 3 viable eggs hatch out! But if they don't, it's likely that a lack of success would be attributed to shipping rather than your skill at incubating eggs. Best of luck on your hatch!Good luck to all of you guys! I'm on my first incubation now. Day 10. 7 shipped silkie eggs but only 3 are viable. I'm leaving the others in until at least day 14.(just incase, I'm wrong). It stinks when you loose half the amount you set. I should have ordered more but I naively thought all 7 would hatch! Now I'm just hoping 1 hatches!! Wish you guys the best!
I totally agree with what you are saying! I'm trying to be realistic about this hatch. I have a brinsea, so I'm pretty confident with the incubator. I'm thinking to try local next!
