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

[Brookhavens]

Hi, Today is Monday, Feb 4th.......I am putting 2 dozen salmon calico wheaten from my project Silkies.

It gets to be very exciting because the colors that hatch are awesome. I purchased my rooster from April at Brody's Broodello.

All my hens are from Karen Larson. April has been working on the color project for years.

Wish me luck,
Barbara/Ohio

Can't wait to see these chicks!!

It's me again........forgot to finish my sentence in previous post.

I meant to say that I was putting 2 dozen eggs in incubator tonight.

Old age is certainly not for "sissies"......I spend so much time trying to remember what I forgot!

Cheers, Barbara/Ohio

Hey all, I have 18 eggs from a mixed flock of Americana and black copper Marans due on the 24. This is my second attempt, my first attempt ended badly. I tried setting 18 store bought free range eggs, turned out 17 were infertile and I had 1 that stopped developing around day 12 or so

Temps are holding fairly steady in my home made incubator and I am using some local eggs this time so I'm hoping for something

anyone esle have any hatching on the 19th?

I just want to cry!! I thought yesterday I had one egg with a funky shaped air cell (u shaped) but I recandled tonight and took more time and out of 7 eggs in the bator one has a somewhat normal air cell!! So, in my disappointment I ran outside to candle the same shipped eggs under my broody hen and out of the 6 under her maybe 2 have decent air cells!! A couple of her eggs have air cells so big that I'm not even sure there is a viable chick in there and if so, not sure how!!

So disappointing!! Has anyone had a successful shipped egg hatch with crazy air cells??
