Good morning everyone.
Does anyone have a guess on the gender of the chick? I think it's on page 1949

[Sally Sunshine]

from what i could tell our remaining 7 eggs looked good at final candling on day 18. Today is day 19, I've been looking for movement all day, I shined a flashlight through the plastic to get a better look, and I swear one of them moved. Do they react to light or am I loosing it? We are so excited for babies!!!!

I am sure it did move!!!! pips soon!!! good luck!!

@Fire Ant Farm Thanks for the kind words about Tucker, but I can't take any of the credit; that's all on @Auroradream26

You're about the 4th person this evening who's wanted me to change my avatar back to what it was originally

I'll never understand why anyone would rather see my ugly mug than a nice looking rooster. I guess I'll have to get a pic of me holding him so everyone's happy

there you are whites!!!!! yayy!!!!!

Im heading out a bit early for the night. I have a lot to do tomorrow so it might be tomorrow afternoon before I get back.

Canadachickens aka cc Updated 18 Auracana day seven candle, 14 excellent development 4 questionable Due date is the 29th. Sorta shipped, I picked them up about 2 hours from home.
mrleeroy Locked down 7 eggs yesterday in the new coolerbator hatcher. 2/22 Wish I would have had more time to tinker with it but temps are stable and humidity is sitting at 65%. We'll see how it does. Due to hatch 2/25. The other 32 are due 3/3.

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 aka Lacie 33 Bielefelder eggs set 8:00 pm on 2/12, I candled my Bieles. Out of 33 I saw 15 for sure having veins, 4 possible clears, and the other 11 I couldn't tell if they had veins or not. 2 of the ones with veins are the cracked ones I repaired with nail polish and superglue.
From Chicken Hill Poultry: Out of 12 eggs I have 2 clears and 10 veining.
From @Papa Brooder : Out of 21 eggs I have 1 Clear, 3 Maybes, and 17 veining!!!! So I have 27/33 developing!!! Hooray for good packing and handling!!! 2/19

TJ Only one of the Guinea eggs was fertile and it's developing in the mind reader bator (what am I going to do with one Guinea?!) along with 2 Serama eggs from my silkied Seramas and Tobin's one porcelain d'Uccle egg.In the R-com are 13 shipped Serama eggs from two sources.

LocalYokel aka Yokel 13 Dominicker 5 Leghorn, may be White or Brown, mostly Whites in that coop.(Not the cheery oldish dude Whites) Hope the Doms and Leghorns are fertile. 7 RIR 2 out of 3 eggs under broody bator are alive/developing, 1 RIR 1 Leghorn, tossed the other.
4 out of 5 Leghorn in bator showing veins! I have 5 White Leghorns in the bator right now

Due the 25th

Venymae possibly fried her eggs at 113 degrees!! OH MY

gotro17 aka Shellee I have 18 in my bator on day 15. !2/23@Jessimom have me some silkie eggs she was to scramble for the flock, along with 6 Buff Brahma eggs she had leftover. Talk about a size difference!!

Hawk12 aka Kristie none of my last batch made I. I'm trying to pretend it never happened. I had the temp set too low and humidity too high. It was rough

My current batch should hatch this Saturday. I have 9 that are still kicking. They are brahmas again. Trying to get a big enough breeding stock. Right now I don't have a rooster and there will be no breeding without one I'm halfway into day 21 and no pips. There is movement by some of the eggs when I shine a light on them though. I've done everything right this time around so I'm a little concerned why I haven't any pips??

deserteggs227 eggs in lockdown all 7 still kicking 2/17 It's the morning of day 21 here,2/21 and all 4 of my Barnaul eggs are pipping. And my huge double yolker's air sack looks kinda funky. Is that normal?

Peachickie aka Nicole New bator is holding steady temps 9 of 11 for this weekends hatch. No hatching by me next weekend but my lil broody silkie is due the 28th or so. Hens have been kicking into high gear this last week. I set 100 eggs 2/20, gotta test out the capacity on the new bator

Auroradream26 aka Jess 30 turkey eggs in lockdown now.

ambe0487 2/1 I put the eggs in lockdown this morning because I will be busy getting ready for the snow storm that is suppose to hit over night here, day 18 actually starts at 3 p.m. 29 eggs, which comprise of 6 Isa brown/Legbar mix, 9 EE/ Bresse mix, and 14 Buff Orp. @ambe0487 Update?

Fire Ant Farm aka Kristin

slordaz barnyard mix, now RIR is matured too we are gonna play guess whose the daddy game as both roosters were on all of the hens, patiently trying to get spring here faster so can build the new coopsat 23 eggs at 2 am this morning 2/3 Lockdown is Wed Feb 10th (before bed) 6 are questionable 1 clear
19 looking good @slordaz How did everything turn out? got an update?

S5apiotrowski aka Anastasia aka AC 13/18 BCM Hatched. 1 non-pipper, 1 early quitter, 3 died after pipping (humidity too high, eggs rolled by other chicks, I think the drowned) 2/3 Welsummers Hatched. One still alive/working on it, has plenty of air, but breathing looks difficult. Don't think it will make it. 1/2 Easter Eggers hatched. 1 was a clear. 1/5 mixed breeds hatched. 3 clear. 1 died in shell - mal-positioned and pip didn't break through internal membrane.

Chicken Hawk33 aka CH aka Seth setting a goose egg 2/16 we have a goose embryo.day four and we have a.heart.2/20

Jessimom aka Kathy 12 Buff Brahma going into lock down 2/23 and 6 silkie eggs going into lock down 2/27. I have some shipped eggs coming the end of the month.

HeatherMarieR
13 chicks have hatched out so far. 11 of them are Bantam Cochins, and 2 are OEGB.

country lovin aka Ty Just set 4 marans and 2 OE. They will go into lockdown the day before the easter hatch goes in. I'm hoping to get at least one marans and OE hen to add to my own flock. 2/19 I got 8 little babies and six that I think are DIS

campinghaws aka campin aka Sharon 9! All honas! Due the 24thvv8 of 9 honas in lockdown in a coolerbator. One looks pretty iffy. After removing the true quitter from original measures, the clutch lost 18% of their body weight.vvv7 hona eggs on day 8 look good.vv11 EE eggs on day 8 look good. 2 clears.

Tao Chick 7 Brabanter, 5 Pavlovskaya, and three from my pullets due2/26. 2/21 Candled eggs today day 16. 10/11 of the shipped eggs look great. One questionable. My two BCM eggs are still too dark to figure out. Locked down. Temp stable but therms are wrong. Hygrometers are reading 60 and 70%.Can't wait for Friday. They lost 15% of weight. I didn't mark air cells. One looked too big. One looked too small. The rest were good. I have 12 eggs in lockdown. One was clear. One was early loss. One was late loss. Two of the remaining 12 are too dark for me to see whether they're developed or not. The ten Brabanter and Pavlovskaya-5 each- left are all full of veins and embryos.

butterfliesdoku aka Vanessa have 46 eggs in the incubator right now, they are barnyard mixes and Easter Eggers with a due date of February 24th. Ok so day 16 and I have 30 eggs showing veins out of 46 originally set due to hatch the 24th. Two of those aren't showing movement but because they still have very clear noticeable veins I'm going to say they are good to go

sarah25bear aka Sarah So last night I started 41 eggs in my incubator this is my first time doing this so hopefully things go well they are just farm chicks my hens are Rhode Island Red and barred rocks and my rooster is a partridge Cochin ... So here goes!!! @sarah25bear I forgot to put a set and hatch date for you! can you update this for me please? when do you candle?

CyndiD I have10 WH duck eggs being shipped to me next week. Is there a site I can read that will help me prepare the eggs for incubating?
I have not received my SWH eggs yet!! tomorrow or the next day???
I will be setting SWH duck eggs and Pekin duck eggs.... AND Australorp over LH, WCBP and NH chicken eggs.
My SWH duck eggs should be here tomorrow and I will have to set them 1 week early for HAL, oops, ordered them 1 week too early...

TrilliumAcres Thanks to your answers a few day ago and all the very valuable info that Sally Sunshine has put together I have 5 babies in the incubator with 2 eggs to go. First pip yesterday morning and first chick at around 6 pm last night. I woke up to 3 more chicks this morning and one more just hatched a few minutes ago. This is my first chick hatch ever and I am so excited! So THANK YOU ALL! Your wisdom is greatly appreciated! @TrilliumAcres how did hatch go?

Meaghan Just put two duck eggs in the incubator this morning 2/15. First time experimental hatch! I set literally 10 or so breeds/mixed breeds. I got eggs from friends and my girls. There are 50 eggs total.

Math I incubate with the LG 9200.I set backyard mixed chicken eggs on Monday, February 15th for friends of ours. I set an incubator full. I think it was 68. Our friends need to replace brown egg layers.

bauerdog aka Joanne The bator is all cleaned out and waiting for the next batch. For shipped eggs, should I ask for them to be shipped on Monday the 29th for setting on Saturday the 5th? It takes 2 to 3 days for the eggs to get to my place....just worried if I ask for wednesday, they may be held up by the good ole USPS

DON956 Just set 48 eggs at 12pm central time. 2/19
12 RIR 12 Delaware 12 Plymouth Barred Rock 12 Golden Sex Link Due on the 11th of March, anyone else set eggs today?

Chicknlvn . so it's my first time incubating. Today is day 7 so this morning I candled all my eggs (36 total), marked air cells and pulled blood ring/cracked eggs. Now for some reason I can't get my humidty to stabilize.... it's up to 38 and I can't get it to come down and stay down.

billiejw89 lockdown 2/22 Buff Orpingtons. We set 12 eggs. 5 turned out to be clear, the other 7 looked good. I was hoping for a better fertility rate...but our rooster is still young and he has a lot of hens. from what i could tell our remaining 7 eggs looked good at final candling on day 18. Today is day 19, I've been looking for movement all day, I shined a flashlight through the plastic to get a better look, and I swear one of them moved. Do they react to light or am I loosing it? We are so excited for babies!!!!

kissofcrimson 2/23 Sadly the black Silkie didn't make it that I tried to help but the paint is doing fine. I hatched out 2 white silkies and a splash Ameraucana. My first ever hatch is doing great so far. 30 more eggs to go lol
