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

[TarheelBirdy]

I've got a dozen in lockdown, Day 19, right now. Some of my own Swedish Flower Hen eggs, and some SLW eggs I bought on ebay. When I candled before lockdown, everyone was moving around, but there were quite a few wonky air cells, so we will see!

I had posted previously about a hatcher.... I am soooo glad I waited! On my local Craigslist (I am totally addicted to checking it multiple times per day) I found a gently used hova-bator and turner. To my great surprise it was a Genesis 1588 from last year only used once at a preschool.... For $60!! So excited to be able to do staggered hatches now

You got a deal all right.
I'm behind on posts..trying to catch up..last I looked..gape has two pips..now to read on..lol...

Thanks Maah, yes, I am a first time Momma Hen and I am nuts! I just sit and stare in there, lol. I see quite a few jiggling around still and hatch day is still technically tomorrow. 17 is one heck of a napper!!! LOL!!! I cleaned my whole room, went and fed my friends cats down the street while they are out of town, and started dinner....now I do think I will be sitting here until SOMETHING else happens! I gotta get the kids from school at 2:00 but wont be home til after 2:30....then it will be right back in here I am sure! (note to self, send hubby for redbox movies and 3.7v flashlight batteries!!) Ok...seriously....this is nerve wracking. And I know to leave the incubator closed! I raised the humidity a little bit ago when it dropped some, but other than that I havent messed with anything!!

11 pgs of post I'm trying to read through LOL this is crazy! I'm gonna go ahead & say congrats to everyone with pips, zips & hatches - going to keep reading till the end cause I'm too nosey to miss something

Were these shipped eggs?

I've had that w/ my shipped eggs... but could be a number of things other than being shipped from temp & humidity etc. Sorry that happened to you, but we've all been through it..

Had set a few eggs with my turkey eggs and moved them to the coolabator for sit days to hatch. These two hatched out today, a Welsummer and a Black Australorp.
