I just started my 1st incubation...

Ok. I will make a set up later on and take a few pics of few eggsthat i know are good.

If you could snap a pic of one while candling down into the fat end, we may be able to tell if they are growing at the proper rate. Its not too late to make adjustments!
Oh, and in that pic, the line is slanted. Don't be alarmed if yours aren't tilted like that. Sometimes they do stay flat throughout incubation. The size is what matters.

Here it is.I think it looks good. If the rest are the same i should be fine right?

I'm on mobile until next monday, but from what I can tell, that looks pretty good! Definitely better than I expected for humidity that high.
I don't remember if you said what breed you are hatching?

This one is just a mixedbreed. As are most. The only ones i know that are a good breed are Brahma Light. But of the secen eggs only one looks promising.

Thank you for taking time and getting back to me. Very cool.

That air sack looked also very good. So basicly all that are good should be like that, But i know it doesnt work that way.


One more week...

 

[WVduckchick]

Nothing wrong with mixed breeds. I love them all. Are you seeing good movement of the chicks when you candle? By now, they should be very active.

 

[mix3dbreed]

Yes i have. Those that i can spot that are good, they are active enough for a person who never did this or saw this can tell we have something living in there.
By monday or tuesday they will probably almost fill the egg up. 4 more days and i will take the egg turner out.

So egg-citing!

I'm with you on day 15! First time to incubate! !! I can see movement inside all the eggs, air cells seem to be right where they need to be. I'm egg cited to meet my fluffy bottoms.

I know how you feel. 2 months ago if someone said i was going to be doing this, I would of laugh i their face. The more videos i saw the more i got interested in doing this.
