February 2023 hatch-a-long

[LhickenChicken]

Tomorrow night is lockdown and our buff Orpington egg is moving and shaking like crazy!

YIPPEEEEE

First time incubating eggs in about 25 years. I have 18 going right now, with hatch dates of 2/25 (12) and 2/28 (6).
4 - light brahma
4 - supposed to be BCM
4 - blue laced red Wyandottes
3 - barn mix from an EE mama
3 - barn mix from an OE mama

Best picture I have of them

I’ve seen all but three of my eggs wiggling around. Day 18 starts at 9:30pm tomorrow night.
Just curious if it’s normal to be moving around a lot this early?

I’m assuming the moving is then getting into position. I guess I just worry since I’ve been relying on the incubator’s built in temp gauge. So hopefully it wasn’t too warm.

I had an egg on day 16 was wiggling. It was not even in the air cell. I sang a song, and it wiggled. I stopped singing, it would stop wiggling.

Kristymac- those are pretty eggs.
I have nine just hatched...These 8 (second pic is the hiding chick) and a pic of the NN.

2 eggs in incubator (in aircells)
1 pip-zip
1 LO slowmo over due egg

Below is a separate incubator
and the eggs below due on different dates.
Back 3 to the right are due the 25th
the middle and one back egg due the 20th
front 3 are on day 17 or so.

Look at all of those colors! I am jealous. Good luck with your hatch!

My boys named some of them already. The French Black Copper Maran is still weak from hatch... will get her picture later on. Hopefully she pulls through. So curious how these barnyard mix colors will turn out. I have no idea. I assume yellow fluff turns into white feathers.

Here's Lewis and Clark: (Barnyard mix, local eggs)


Neddie: (Barnyard mix, local eggs)


Lucy: (Spitzhauben, shipped egg)


Yet to be named: (55 Flowery hen, shipped egg) Heard these are auto sexing. Hopefully a girl.


Yet to be named: (Crested legbar, shipped egg)


Ted: (Barnyard mix, local eggs) I think this has muffs ! Hopefully turns into a Teddy instead of Ted. lol
