First time hatchers hatch A-long!

I think a 24 hours difference or less is supposed to be okay. The eggs added later are supposed to just hatch a day later without problems. I’m not sure about 48 hours though. That may approach the point of having whatever extra steps people add for staggered hatches which I don’t have enough experience to give advice on.

Thats what I'm thinking. I'm to worried about a day or two difference, but anything longer then 3 days, is going to be to far apart. I may just make an incubator, or buy one for eggs behind others.

I got my 6 bantam Cochin hatching eggs today! I just unwrapped them, and they are sitting on the counter air cell end up to settle! I'm so excited! I candled them all, no signs of hairline cracks, and I couldn't see the air cells, but nothing looks detached, so thats good. I'm so excited! Cant wait to put them in!

Looks like the Serama eggs wont be ready to ship until April 16th. It'll be alright though, I'll just put them in after the others hatch. The Bantam EE and Bantam Dark Brahama's are shipping next week, so seems they'll be a week apart, I think I'll need two bators.

13 days to go and I'm trying to behave myself and not candle them often but I do want to candle them at day 10 so just a couple more days until I can peek again! Lol

I just set 7 Cochin Bantam eggs! Yay! Its neat because I set them on the 1st, so its easy to tell what day they're on. I'm super excited! Good luck on your hatches guys!

That does make it easy! April 21st is your day!

Well, I have to count the first day as day 0, so if its the 4th, there on day 3. Its still super simple though! I can't wait until the first candle!
