I would think so... As soon as these guys get done hatching, I'm setting 12 more!

Wait and join the Easter Hatch-a-long. Lots of contests and hundreds of participants.

What? Your broody hens don't leave the lights on for her chicks? Hmm... I must have the deluxe model momma hen then. Has the light on, plays soft music, even puts on her apron and whips up a batch of muffins while the chicks are hatching!

Oh wait... no, that's me. Sorry. LOL

I'm having the same problem...when I candle I never see any veining, or a dark spot. BUT I can very easily see an air sac and a dark mass in the egg, the eggs don't look porous at all. I have tried to candle at different stages, I know I'm not seeing a blood ring. My egg shells are thick and solid. I don't give a lot of extra calicum because of all the goodies I give my girls. The only time I give oyster is if I notice the egg shells are becoming to thin.

So if I am seeing an air sac-very nice ones, then a dark mass in the shell then is it possible I have a hatchling to come? I only have a couple of white-light colored eggs. The rest are a very pretty brown and green, I usually don't see anything at all in those. I do have a small led flashlight from tsc.

I am just so anxious about my broodies eggs! I am so ready to see any babies! I am crossing my fingers all goes well this weekend. This is worse than waiting to give birth to my daughter!!

See? What did I tell ya? huh? I told ya so. I'm being a told ya so.

Did you get some rest? Sleep even? Isn't it fun? They are always fun, no matter now many times I do this. I love the little fuzzy butts. Congratulations to you!

Make that 4! They woke me up in the middle of the night, that's for sure! They are so squished in the bator with the other eggs still hatching, but I'm sure they'll be fine. They run around, chirp, run around, squish each other, and then sleep.
