Ended Halloween Hatch-A-Long 2018

[Lazy Farmer]

OK, my doves have snuck 2 eggs past me and they are both fertile. Early days yet but they should be due around the 24th by the looks of them. They only hatched 1 out of 2 last time so I'm hoping they continue the trend. My society finches have also got a bunch of eggs in a food bowl they are all helping to incubate (I know they don't count but they are darn cute - not even sure the doves count). AND I have another Button quail laying herself a brood. I don't need any more babies at the moment!

Love the chick vending machine @Farmer Connie - can't wait for photos.

I'm having a hard time being accurate with the various posts of broody's and ovens, as far as the log is concerned. So if anybody finds a typo on the master log within the first post of the HHAL thread, bring it to my attention please. I'm playing major catch up right now. I should be heady-steady here real soon. A lot to sort out. Finally undivided attention.

Hey everyone! I'm unexpectedly joining in with my first hatch ever. My BCW Polish hen Peebles went broody earlier this month and she's doing such a great job I can't bare to take them away from her. So I guess I'm having a unplanned Halloween hatch. Anyways, there's four eggs and I estimate the set date to be October 6th, so they'll be a little early. Two of them are hers and two of them are from my other hens, Henrietta (RIR) and Lucille, a fake easter egger. She turned out to only lay brown eggs. ): I don't know if the other hens have one egg each in the nest or if one of them laid both. I have two roosters, one a white silkie mix and the other a full blooded blue silkie. I guess I'll have to wait a while to be able to even guess at the chick's parentage.
So to sum it up:
How Many: 4
What Kind: 2 BCW polish x silkie, 2 brown eggs that could be RIR x Silkie or EE x Silkie
Set Date: October 6th
Type of Incubator: Broody Polish Hen

I'm so excited I can hardly wait. Never in my life has 21 days felt like such a long time!

Try hatching guineas! 35 days!

Candled tonight, of the 16 Bielefelder eggs set last Thursday only 2 look iffy. For the life of me I can’t find the one I glued. But it was dark in the room.

My eggs were officially set yesterday (10th) around 1pm. Hatch a batch app is set to start counting today. Made their first hand turn this morning.

I’m incubating in my usual homemade coolerbater. Dry run (humidity runs at 30% even then) hand turning 5x a day.

Not holding my breath as I’m just now getting better fertility rates from my young rooster. But happy to see if I have more success this round.
