Hello fellow Texans

[lovemy6hens]

That certainly makes it even more exciting. You'll have Christmas in July! You'll have to post to let us know what you end up with.

Welcome! Im like 10 mins outside of S.Austin. Good luck with your hatch! Friday will be day 7 for my silkie cross eggs.

Thanks. Good luck with yours also. I'm kind of scared. Hope I'm doing everything right. I keep reading information on how to do this. Tomorrow is day seven.

Thanks! I'm in the same boat as you! This is my first hatch with a diy incu. and I'm so worried that the temp in my room will like drop real low when I'm not home. So far everythings great, I got antsy and I candled two of my test run eggs and there is life so I must be doing something right! I'm using the "dry hatch method". Tomorrow, on day 7, will be their first weigh in.

Day 19. Off the turner and guess what I already have a chick hatched. So exciting.

Congrats! Im on day 18, but I see those eggs wiggle occasionally, so heres hoping!

Awesome, let me know how it goes, I see another egg has a chick that has pecked through, and several more rocking. The one that hatched for ever now called peepers wants out, I have the brooder ready and will soon transfer him or her over. Id rather there were a few more to place in at the same time. I know they can stay in the incubator for 48 hrs so I will wait.

I can't wait to see more photos as they hatch!

found these this morning and one more just hatched, up to 8 chicks so far.

OK now up to 11 just watched this one hatch, another one that hatched about 30 min ago is still absorbing egg yolk.
