Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

If anyone wants to take a guess at the breeds of chicks and poults in my mystery box, I've posted them here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/753935/cackle-hatchery-surprise-arrived-what-are-they

yes, Hollowoaks has graciously agreed to take in a few orders for eggs so that I can get some from people who cant normally ship into VA so I am thrilled!!!
so I need to pm a couple of people and see if they can ship some eggs to her in time.  If she gets them by April 6th that should have them hatching by the time she is coming up for the Sheep & Wool festival!

My husband is going to KILL me!!!

Graciously, my patootie! It's a win-win! Laura gets chicks she wouldn't get otherwise, and I get to keep hatching a bit longer. See how perfect it is? I leapt at the mildly phrased idea!

I haven't tried identifying chicks in awhile, but I'll try for some fun.
1) EEs and the Chipmunk ones could be Welsummers
2) Barred Rocks (white spots) & Cuckoo Marans (yellow spots)
3) Australorps or Jersey Giants & Black Sexlinks (solid blacks)
4) New Hampshires or Red Sexlinks or RIRs or Cherry Eggers (ones with red in there wings should be NHs or RIRs)

I am not sure, but it's as educated of a guess as I could come up with.

anyone know what may be going on? I have routinely for the past month had hatches run 2-3 days beyond schedule. Nothing at all on day 21 and everything on day 22-23 well... sometimes even on day 24. I have 2 gqf thermometers in the incubators and they are always right on correct temp. Its slightly frustrating. I have taken both incubators and cleaned them top to bottom with oxine and make sure I always have the perfect humidity. Any suggestions? Is it because I live in East TN?

or am I crazy?

The same thing has been happening to me the past few months but only on shipped eggs. My own eggs are hatching out right on day 21.

When did you last calibrate those thermometers?

What kind of bator do you guys use. I used to have that problem in my styrofoam bators. I don't have that problem now that I have a dickey.
