Hey all!

Where'd our thread go??

Hey! Mine are due to hatch about the same time. 13 eggs under my broody Silkie set 8/28/09.

Here's the thread I posted- https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=236331

Not that there's much there yet.

This is my first hatch as well.

It's soooo exciting! I can see why it's sooo addictive

I hope to see something in an egg tonight

If I know ones growing, I'll leave them alone til day 7

I just want to know if they're growing?

At least I have three under 6 to keep me busy, 1 husband calving 700 cows and three < 1 week old lambs to entertain my days, Or I'd just sit there are watch the bator for the next 18 odd days

I set my second hatch on the 26th so I am due a day before you. Wishing all of us a good hatch! I may have already messed mine up. I forgot to hit the auto turn control and they didn't get turned for the first day and a half but I think it will probably work out..

Hi Kiwi Chicky, may I join your group please ? I have a bunch due on the 18th. I set them in my old incubator so I am not sure how it will go.I have eggs due today and so far I have 4 out of 7.Earlier I saw another rocking but we had to be away most of the afternoon and I haven't seen movement since I got back but we will see.All the best everyone.

Oh my gosh 700 calves, your poor husband. Ive calf'd 4 cows within a couple weeks and I was exhausted not only physcially but mentially too. Talk about being worried, it was worse then when I had my own kids. That was my last venture with cows and horses.

I just set some yesterday morning. Due Sept 19. These are a dozen white crested black polish eggs that I had flown out from BC. I hope to get at least a couple out of them. I also set 3 brown mixed from my flock.

Hi everyone, how are you all doing ? lavacaw, I read somewhere that it doesn't matter about turning the 1st day and you missed only by a bit more than that so maybe you will really be okay, I sure hope so for you.What day are you all going to candle and does anyone have helpful hints on the most reliable way to candle? All the best everyone.
