February 2017 Hatch-a-long

[HeritageHenNut]

Day 20 for my duck eggs. Of the original 9 I have 7 going strong. 1 was clear and the other was an early quitter. It's my first time with Ducks so I am sooooo nervous!

Day 20 for me, too. I have 5 left in the first incubator, had to toss one egg last night as it was a non-performer.

But, there's always the four eggs I started a few days ago, they are at the elementary school so I will be finding out how well they're doing on Monday.

I'm hoping to end up with about 6 ducklings when every egg has hatched (or not).

Day 14 chicken eggs. Is the air sac and development right? Just making sure.

Nice - looks good! Did you see movement with the embryos?

Yes lots of movement. Glad it seems right.

Holy cow! Now I'm a wreck.

And if those babies are anything like every single batch I've hatched, they will make you wait... and wait.... most of mine go anywhere from 8-24 hours before they zip !!! But, so very, very cool they're pipping for you!!! Congratulations!!
