Lotsa action here....6 out...6 pips working away. Going to go fire up the tractor and move some snow for a bit. Safer than hovering!

Great news Purpletie3, best of luck with the remaining eggs

I squeezed 28 eggs into my incubator night before last (the 6th). Lockdown will begin on the 24th! The eggs are from these Faverolles ladies and the rooster in my avatar.

Good luck with your hatch, I have 14 in that will be on day 14 tomorrow morning.

Yay congrats, looking forward to pictures of the little one when they are out.

BatorTV is more addicting than soap operas....especially during Pip Week!

Grrrr.... Just did a test candle.. Day 5 and some of the eggs I have in there are light blue and white so very easy to see into and usually by day 3 I can see what if anything is going on.. Like I said, day 5 and the front row shows signs of veining very faint, like day 2-3.. Moved the temp probe around and discovered why, the fan isn't working right or something, back of incubator shows 101-102. middle shows 99.8, front shows 95-96 called the farm store where I got it, Little Giant 11300, and was told bring it back and they will exchange it....got the older still air warming up to transfer the eggs into

I don't have this issue with my still air at all!

They're all easter Eggers. One is from a black/white speckled hen that lays blue eggs and the other 4 are from a very pretty black hen that lays light brown/pinkish eggs.

Day 22 started at noon for me...Crazy yellow chickzilla is running roughshot in the bator. I am keeping them in the dark. It seems to calm them down when they are in the dark...they kinda just go to sleep.

Another hamburg is hatching out and a chick from a olive egg. More pips too. One of the zippers is totally zipped and hopefully just taking a nap.

Well, I am just going to leave them all be for now. No rush to get them out since the first one hatched some time over night. They should be fine for even a couple more days...but, these guys seem to have a nice pace set and I am just going to watch them through the little windows for now.

I am staying busy though...moved a ton of snow and cleaned out my 5 brooders...
