Close to day 22 on these eggs and i'm nit seeing any pips yet. They are chirping and moving but nothing external. How long before I hould worry?

I'm wondering if its BC I've only hatched bantams that I haven't seen a lot of wiggling from my eggs?

I have bantams in their right now moving n shakin. This is my first hatch so I don't have anything to compare.

Nah @Sally Sunshine no extra babies yet! Just bigger housing for my current girls. We get TONS of pallets and have giant sheets of plywood just laying around. Ironically the smaller, more splintery-looking wood pallets give you more profit at the recycling center here than the large, fairly good wood (which only nets maybe a few euro).

I'm taking two large roughly three meter pallets and I'll have to scavenge some wood from this week's kitchen breakdown or something to get the raw material for the coop. We'll spring 16 euro a pop for two corrugated plastic sheets for the roofing. In all it'll be a lean-to style design on wood or brick risers to give it height and two nesting boxes for all eight girls. I'm also sourcing agricultural lime (slaked lime used for drawing those white lines on football fields) to use for whitewash on the inside of the coop to keep out mites and I'm going to use pet-quality wood dowels for roosts. I got a real good plan y'all!

interesting can I ask how much extra they charge for that thing?


someone is missing so many open windows its pathetic   @scflock

I got my Brinsea barely used, but I think a new humidity pump add-on is like $159!!

And oops!

Okay guys just caught up. Well I too talk to my eggs from the day of setting, and sometimes I sing to them. But I've never had any of my eggs for sure rock roll or shake. I thought my two black oegbs did but it was like four in the morning so it may have been me twitching lol.

This is my second time to incubate. I didn't see rocking, rolling, shaking or pipping on the the first batch and I watched that bator like a hawk. All of a sudden there was a chick and then a second. This time around didn't see a thing and egg hatched. One I thought was pipped but DIS

One rocked last night (day 21) but nothing today

This can be really frustrating.

for you!

Thank you. One hatch, one DIS

Yeah yeah yeah! Pics soon please!

Picture coming soon

Can I play too? I'm on day 7! First time with shipped eggs.....I'm nervous!

for you

I'm giving up on shipped eggs for a while. I did have some Chocolate Orpington eggs on order but the breeder's hens slowed down in production and order was canceled. I'm really glad it was.

Thank you! I ordered some eggs off eBay and at day 7 candling 11/12 are alive and growing strong, 1 died early, no veins, clearish with an incomplete blood ring, I left it in just in case, my last 2 hatches I had moments of oops I thought you were dead....sorry you are now.... I'm trying to avoid that this time. So I'm leaving everyone in until lockdown unless someone starts oozing or weeping.....I need the next 14 days to go by quickly, I wanna see little fuzzy butts!

I haven't had one of those moments and hope I never do. They must be hard. Good luck

LMAO, pic on it's way

Wow I cant get so behind! now I have to find @rossfam06 and see if she "had" her babies yet!

I can't even keep up and I'm just little ol me. I just don't see how you ever catch up

You are awesome and so is everyone that can stay ahead

Close to day 22 on these eggs and i'm nit seeing any pips yet. They are chirping and moving but nothing external. How long before I hould worry?

Make sure you are counting your days right. The day you set the eggs is not day one. Day one is 24 hrs later.

for you.
