What are you going to do w/ these? Do you already have someone lined out to buy them?

I have 1 Serama in the 'bator, it's pecking and peeping...but I had to make an air hole so he could breathe..I hope he hatches tonight!!

The 3 babies in the brooder are sooooo cute! They're so sweet too. They just beg for attention!

I have a waiting list for the chicks, so when these hatch out someone will buy how many they want. I am hoping to get to keep at least 4-5...all females if I am lucky....I do want to keep the black one and the bantam cross, so they might get hid when someone comes over to buy...lol

You'd better hid'em now!!

I hand turn many of my eggs and I unplug the incubator to turn them and last year I left it unplugged for 8 hrs with my turkey eggs in it...well they all hatched a day early along with all the chicken eggs I had with them. I believe getting them too warm is worse I think if the eggs were going to hatch they will.

Thank you so much for the good news.I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. This is a great site with lots of people experiencing all different kinds of "Chicken Tales".

My current batch are on Day 21 today and only one has pipped. They're driving me nuts!

What is with these eggs? I'm pretty sure staring at mine isn't helping....yet I can't stop!!!! It's over half-way through Day 20 here (ends at 6pm), and there is nothing. Nada.

I checked on my 6 eggs under my broody. One is pipped and I hear chirping. Nothing on the other 5. I am going NUTS!!!! I was expecting them to hatch yesterday. UGH!!

Today is day 19 for me.

Day 10 here and wondering if a dead egg can look different than a good egg and what will I be looking for:/. Some temperature issues yesterday.

I have five eggs due tomorrow in my second round of staggered hatches. As of this morning, I had two pips, both in Blue-Laced Red Wyandottes.

Chickette, are you candling with a strong light? I candle at day ten, and the clear ones are pretty distinct by then from the developing eggs. You should see veining and probably an embryo floating around if it's developing.
