HALLOWEEN Hatch-a-Long 2016 w/ Hosts, Mike, Sally & BantyChooks

@Sally Sunshine , Yup , I am from PA as well, I was sent from the PA board by @motercyclechick when I was talking about my broody.

I tried candling, again this is all new, last night. On the light colored egg I can see veining, VERY EXCITING!!! Is it normal that I am having a hard time even seeing through the shells on the blue hnd olive eggs??? I anxious to know how many my eggs are on their way to hatching!

yes its completely normal not to see in.... Try your cell phone flashlight ap, sometimes I have better luck than my mass lumans flashlight!! I think because the beam is small or something!

Good Luck!!
 
Day 12: I am so anxious, also worried that none will hatch. I know 3 are absolutely not fertile so that brings me down to 5 eggs. :/.
On top of all that it is raining and pouring and my silkie hen just went broody.

squeeeeeellllllzzzz avy love!!!!! how cute!!!
I am glad you have a broody!!! are you going to give her your eggs you have set? or let her try some of her own?
 
She has some of her own already, I thought about it but she is so tiny I don't know how many she can handle. I didn't even give her the eggs she is on, she just up and took them!! Maybe if I get some hatched I should try to get her to adopt them? Also, do you think I should take out the three eggs that are just yolk? They don't stink, but all I see when I candle is yolk floating around. Like I said I'm on day 12 already
