IA (incubators anonymous) September Hatches?

[RollTideChicken]

I've started lockdown today...and...I heard a peep when I was placing the eggs back in the bator. That would put them about 2 days early. Shipment took 2 or 3 days, so development started in transit? I have some control eggs in as well; some of my backyard eggs. If they hatch on time I think that would mean that the shipped eggs did start in transit.

Good luck!

You're welcome?

Lol. Well it looks like 17 of the eggs I got off ebay were infertile. Only the 4 hatched. Two others pipped but didn't make it. One was almost completely out of the shell and got stuck but he doesn't assist. I think his humidity dropped. We threw 17 eggs on the barn roof and none of them were fertile.
Here's the 4 that made it. I think they are 2 Spangled Penny Hatch and 2 Spangled Butcher

I have 2 that have pipped.

@ChickensAndYoga the chicks that hatched from my bantam rooster and large fowl hen are the exact same size as the large fowl Ameraucanas that hatched out of a similar sized egg. They're bigger than the bantams but smaller than the Marans mix Olive Eggers. We'll see how they grow! All of the ones that developed and made it to lock down hatched without any issues.

Couldn't get a pic this morning, but one is out and about. No pipping from any of the other eggs and the 2nd pip hadn't even started zipping yet.

I’ve been curious myself to see. My big issue so far is he’s just not covering all the hens. Which is fine. The funny thing though is he is consistently covering my leghorns which are smaller but my BIG barred rock hen, too. Her egg is one of the two due to lock down on Friday

Wife just sent me a text... We got 2 chicks now.

That's too funny, my rooster's favorites are the Jersey Giants, Amberlinks, and the Orpingtons.
