Incubating and discouraged

[RosieR]

Any darkening inside is a good sign, means a chick is trying to develop. I hope these ones make it!

Me too! I’d love to buy more eggs and diversify my colours

Today is day 11. Out of 12 eggs 4 are too thick to see anything, and the rest seem to have a dissernable air sack and darkness everywhere else. Nothing is glowing and the dark spots are definitely bigger and fill up the space way better than a few days ago. I’m super excited guys! I think I might get a real hatch this time!

Nice! Glad this one seems to be working out.

Yay! Excited for you that it's looking good. That's how mine were looking around that time too, it was so hard to see much of anything besides the air cells and space at the tip after about day 8. That empty space shrunk little by little. Day 16 right now and I'm going crazy XD

Really hoping this time they hatch for you!

I made an incubator out of a cooler. Nothing terribly fancy, just added a window, some air holes, and a lamp/thermostat. I'm a little worried about my humidity though after the 4th chick hatched because it had big pieces of shell stuck all over and is too tired to move much. I did a dry hatch because the humidity is already pretty high here, but maybe I should have made it even higher for hatch. I'll see how it goes.

It’s lockdown day friends!
I thought one wiggled but it probably just rolled a bit in its position on the shelf liner.
