FEB HATCH-ALONG THREAD ...COME JOIN US.... EVERYONE!

[CamiLynn]

So I am on day 15, so lockdown on thursday, and possibly a hatch on sunday!

But for some reason whenever I hatch silkies they ALWAYS hatch on day 19. Just silkies. Whenever I hatch any other breed, they hatch right on time! So I don't know, I may just have some baby silkies on friday! e

Can't wait to see your babies either!!!

I candled all of my eggs tonight! I couldn't resist! 15 eggs I know there are defiant veins!!

But 10 I'm not sure about, just put ? on them so that I know which ones I'm not sure of. That is definitely better than I expected though!!!! I am so excited! Here is a pick of one of my banty eggs!

I hand turned both my hatches and only has two eggs not hatch the first time and one this time. The second time was just shipped eggs so I tried the egg carton. I cut the bottom of the carton down and cut holes in the bottom of each cup. For turning all I did was push the eggs to the opposite side 3 times a day. I was terrified of hatching that way and it worked amazingly well. Anyways, just explaining what I did as I know it's hard to decide.

Anyways, happy hatching and can't wait to see your babies!!

so you just tilted them? I am trying to get a mental image here!

K let me see if I can explain this right. I set the eggs small end down and leaned them all to the same side in the cups. When I would "turn" the eggs, I would just shift (lean) to the opposite side of the cup. And just did that back every time I "turned". Does that make sense? Oh let me try this I would take the eggs and put them all like this / in the carton cup, when turning, I would put them like this \. Lol

Yep! That's what I thought! Not a lot of moving then, huh? And it was a good hatch? Did you leave them in the carton through hatch?

My broody kicked one of her eggs out of her nest yesterday. It wasn't quite cold yet but was kind of cool. I put it back under her and she hasn't kicked it back out again. Think it still has a chance?
