I have 16 lovely Salmon Faverolle eggs ready to go into the bator tonight!

They'll be joining 8 bantam surprise eggs - 6 I'm sure of at 14 day candling, and 2 still in doubt - as well as 5 feather footed surprises - 1 not sure is developing, all due to hatch next weekend. Looking forward to lots of peeps.

Here's the first 2 hatched. I now have a third one. So far, that's 50% hatch rate.

Here's the older one's foot. (the drier of the two in the previous photo)

Hey, can you color sex Wheaten Marans? The older bird has black coloring feathers on it's wings, but the others don't really. I'd be really happy with a roo and a bunch of hens!

I also have RIR on their 13th day today, and BC Marans of course!

I've had a 4th one that pipped this morning, and there's a large hole, but now it's just chirping. It's not even trying to move. It's chirping right now, in fact, and it's been 12 hours. All it does is chirp and breathe, that's how I know it's alive. It should have no problem getting out, and I don't see why it doesn't. None of the others took this long, and the longest hatch at least showed some progress. This one looks much as it did this morning.

Humidity is good.

Just so that I know: When should one intervene and how?

ETA: Today is the 23rd day. Also, when should I give up on eggs hatching? I have 2 more in there, and one feels really solid. I'm not noticing any movement, but there wasn't noticeable movement with any of the other eggs before they hatched.

My 4th didn't make it. Wouldn't come out.

Was my only V-day one that tried hatching.
