Hatch On Dates: Oct-nov? Dont Forget About This Post!!!

[swirler]

Just finished my day 7 candling - 11 of 12 are viable. How long should I leave the other, which I'm guessing is a clear, before yanking it? It's mostly clear on candling - no vessels, no blood ring, just a vague darker oval of yolk.

I have video of a little moving embryo.

GRRRRRR! My power just went out! I called the power company and they estimate they will have it restored in 3 hours!! I have towels wrapped around the incubator. Let's hope it comes on sooner! I also have week old peeps that are throwing a huge fit over their heatlamp being off!

Hope they get it turned back on ASAP! I would flip if my power went out.. I would be in panic mode! I wouldn't be able to think straight!

I am worried! This is my first attempt at incubating. I am pacing and nobody in my house understands!!

Do you have a generator? I told my hubbie to save 1 plug on the generator for chickens if the power goes out. Forget the refridgerator save the chickens.

At day 7, if it's clear and definitely not looking like the others, toss it. Don't give it a chance to go stinky and explode on your good eggs. You could crack it into a bowl, stir it up, microwave it for a few seconds and feed it to your chickens for a treat.

Power was out for 2 hours. I got a generator from the in-laws, had it running for 10 minutes before power was restored. The temperature was down to 84'. What is everyones opinion on their survival?
