Early February 2016 Hatch - Who's In?

[CoopDeDoo]

I caved in and candled my first six. I'm going out of town tonight until Wednesday night for work (and I think my shipped eggs are arriving tomorrow...hopefully my husband can follow instructions on setting them up to recover) and I wanted to see how they were doing. Three looked viable, one I wasn't sure, and in two of the small ones I didn't see anything. Since they don't smell and it is early days, I will keep them in there. When I get back I'll candle my other 5 and put in some of my shipped eggs.

I also ordered another incubator off Amazon and it will be here Wednesday. It looks like a Farm Innovator but it was called something different. It had 4 out of 5 stars so I thought I'd give it a try. I'll hook up Wednesday night when I get home, monitor it all day Thursday, and put the rest of the eggs in on Friday morning.

You should know on the two by day 10.

on the other 3!

So, I told myself that I wouldn't candle until day 10.... Unfortunately, I'm weak, today is day 4 and I needed to add some water to the Bator. I quickly candled about 10 and ALL of them had veins! What What!! . :yiipchick. Okay, I will do my best to stay away but I know that they are growing!

I put them in on Jan 12 according to my log, so 6 days ago? I put them in on the evening so I always get confused when to start counting.

Oh on day 6. I would definitely leave them if you can't tell 100% that it isn't growing. I typically take them out before lockdown when their shells are really dark and I can't tell. If I haven't seen any movement by then but that is just me.
