It seems to take sooo long but when your hatching it only seems like yesterday that you were putting the eggs in the incubator

I think I need to keep myself busy tomorrow, out of the house.

very good idea thats what im going to be doing i'll be out the house i dont even care if i miss the hatch better im not there panicing

It would be good if I could get to see a chick hatching ( so long as I don't panic ) but all I really want now is the chicks to be out of the eggs and safe in mummies arms

It so special..I sit for hours watching sometimes...and then call my daughter in at the last moment just when they start to push out of the eggs... Last time - I let her hold the last egg as it was actually just getting out of the shell.. It was a wonderful momnt for her- and an experiance she will not soon forget. But yes it can get tiresome...all the waiting

why cantwe learn to speed up incubation and hatching get specail eggs 5 days lockown 2 days later fully hatched lol would save alot of stress

 

[Fairybee]

Quote:
The last days (lockdown) the eggs are placed in an egg carton (fat end up), and they hatch out of that. I did it a few times. Some people really like it, as it makes for less clean-up mess and less kick-ball in the bator. I felt like I didn't get as good of a hatch, but maybe it is unrelated. I went back to the old way, and just lay the eggs of the floor of the bator (like the mama hen has them).

well thats how ive got them at the moment so i may just leave them then if you think you didnt have as good a hatch i still want one hatch to work at least
