Did anyone set eggs on June 9th? Wanna hatch with me?

[Mrs. Feathers]

Well we locked things down last night.
Took out another yolker that I was unsure of at last candle and decided to leave until lockdown. When hubby checked it it looks like it was never fertilized. Wheww!!! hate making that decision this far along when I'm not certain. We did have one more questionable quitter but I find it hard to see the blue eggs and it was not stinky so left it in. Hope all will be okay as I did have an egg blow a couple hatches ago. So now we are left with 10 looking good and 1 questionable out of our 14 original eggs.
I have a sleepover with the Grade 1 class at my school tonight so that will help time pass with me not obsessively staring into the incubator! Leaving hubby with the babes to be.
Good luck everyone who is hatching this weekend and I look forward to seeing photos!

I've just had button quails hatch on day 19 and 20 there was one left but the chick had died some people say 16 days others say 18 or 19 so don't give up hope just yet

I had a silkie hatch yesterday and 3 ducks due on the 30th

Her name is Nugget

I'm kinda thinking maybe the shells are really thick or something? I dunno?

Oh, and the pictures are great, too!

The bad thing is it only makes me want my buttons to hatch RIGHT NOW!

I left the last one till day 22 then I pipped the end just enough to see inside and it was dead its so hard to tell as there a nightmare to candle. Hope yours hatch safely soon

I'm on day 13. Got my air flow kit and still looking for my spot check to come in the mail so I can start a new hatch, maybe today.

Just one little baby? So cute

There were 2 fertile out of 6 that I got but the other 1 died at around day 18 so she's all alone at the moment till my ducklings hatch, I've given her a little glove puppet chicken with a hand warmer inside and she snuggles up to that and chirps to the quails i've got in another brooder. She could go in with them but i've read that they can't be kept together.

Fingers crossed for yours

I opened all the button eggs that were suppost to hatch, and they were all rotten. They all had something in them, but it looked like they had all died around day 10. So Hopefully the new batch of eggs I put in there will do better! I set 6 more button eggs this Tuesday so today is day for the the quail eggs and the chicken eggs! The quail eggs are due: Wednesday, July, 7th. And the chicken eggs are due: Saturday, July, 12th.
