incubating eggs

[howfunkyisurchicken]

On day 22 and my eggs have FINALLY started peeping! I had a couple of nights where I let the house get a little cool and that made the temp drop in the bator (though it didn't go below 98°). I guess it delayed them a little bit. I really hope some hatch!

No I haven't float tested them I am going to do that tonight

With your low temps in the beginning they'll likely be delayed. Mine are late too for the same reason, but they're working on getting out. I hope your float test brings good news! I played my phone alarm over the bator last night (its a hen cackling), and the little eggs started rocking like crazy, it was awesome

Are those your daughters hatch. I hope my girls give me some eggs soon, so i can send out the eggs from NYDH, and give me some for the Easter hatch. I plan on firing up the big batot for that hatch.
