Jessimom shipped SFs look good, 9 shipped Cochins still going strong but 2 had blood rings.

I have 20 more Buff Brahma eggs that will be set once the 2/4 eggs move to the other 'bator. I'll set those Green Egg layers once theyAll 12 arrive

Hi Sally!

My update is - 3 shipped SF's and 2 shipped Cochins looked questionable. Another SF - air cell was in the pointy end. I put all 6 in lock down in an egg carton, air cell up. But, 8 SFs and 7 Cochins look good and went in on their sides. I have 8 of my silkie eggs due to hatch 2/12 and 12 shipped Blue/Splash silkies and 2 shipped Buff Brahma eggs set to hatch 2/20. I have I have 14 more Buff Brahmas and 7 shipped Biefilder/Cream Legbar cross eggs to set on Friday.

Happy Birthday Raz!!!

I hope everyone is having a good day!

Ooh!!! e
Let me know if you ever do- depending on what I have at the moment, what bator I have, how much hatch experience I get and the condition of my coop, I might be interested!

Yeppers saris have at it!! I am praying this white freako tolbunt polish that is frizzled turns into a roo...   I can have fun putting some different breed hens with him!!

that doesnt make sense! It shouldnt matter how many

Quote: I agree with underneath, because some coolers are not insulated in the top like my blue one, I used spray foam in it, the humidity would collect in the lid and pour out when opening it!

Sally great hatch, waiting on  serama //// eggs from sara and martha set 1/24  day 7 legbar, projects, marans, Lemon Cuckoo orphingtons, tolbunt polish, and some mix silkies
NestingHillsSC 2/1 This weeks hatch. 17 out of 18. Had to help one out. Normally dont do that but was almost zipped out. If it makes it it makes it. I know I have more Ameraucanas, BCMs, And the rest I for get. Barred rocks, buff Brahmas, Heritage Reds. Cant remember when I started collect the last 2
J&TRanch 1/12/16  12 self blue Cochin bantams (shipped) day 3 (going to candle today to see how many are viable).... And 18 eggs arriving in the mail tomorrow @J&Tranch  My shipped self blue bantam Cochins are doing good. I had to throw out a stinker and a seeper

So out of those 10 remaining, 7 are developing nicely

They're on day 7.  I ended up receiving 16 shipped from GA, they looked good considering the single digit temps- only 3 saddles and none cracked. They're on day 3 today, will candle Wednesday maybe. 
Saris My hatch is done 6 DIS 24 chicks outonly had to help one out of the shell when it got stuck zipping. Hooray!
TJ Believe it or not, there are two developing from this mess! I had to wash them in hot water to get all the slime off and they have saddle cells, but I'm giving them the best chance I can. Probably won't ever turn them.  So, the new batch was packed a bit better and nothing was broken, but out of 8 eggs, 4 are saddle cells and 4 are completely rolling. Set them all anyways
Casportsponyday 34 for the Muscovy eggs and it looks like I have one external pip, two internals. One of the eggs have a huge "bruise" at the bottom of the shell, so I doubt it's still alive.
LocalYokel  set 3 under broody. 2/1 Getting eggs tomorrow Will have 3 Moar days to gather quail eggs
Canadachickens  Barnyard mix yeilded 8 fluffy butts out of 13  day 11 candle of silkies - 4 viable, 10 duds, 2 blood rings
Venymae    @venymae
got an update? hope your ok!  Salmon Favorelles and 11 shipped Cochin eggs on 1/15.  On day 8, only 4 of the Favorelles looked good, but 8 of the Cochins did -- I left them all in the 'bator.   I added 10 of my own silkies on 1/23.

Hawk12 have 7 blue/gold partridge brahma chicks in the incubator on day 15. Candled last night and things look pretty good. Air cells might be a little small. I lost 5 from this hatch due to a temp spike on day 3 I emailed the gal I bought them from to let her know my progress and she sent me a dozen more for the cost of shipping. That was very sweet of her to do knowing it wasn't her fault or even the PO but my faulty incubator. I'll be setting those eggs tomorrowDay 15, 7 eggs.

Fire Ant Farm I set 16 Cream Legbar eggs yesterday afternoon.

Cream Legbars lock down on February 7. Aloha NNs lock down on February 16 (at least any that make it to lock down). Gently turning those three times a day now.

First set of eggs goes on lockdown on the 9th and the second set goes into lock down 2 days later. The show went well. My birds all beat their previous tabletop scores. But they aren't very high yet (in the 70's) because we are still working on the performance aspect. Once that happens it should boost their scores a lot
