.New to hatching and to this forum. My first hatch didn't go as planned. I had 14 eggs and 6 weren't fertile (that was a fun project with my son thought) and the other 8 didn't hatch on Monday as expected. I had built it up so much that I was really disappointed when they didn't hatch, and then a few days of roller coaster ups and downs based on responses I was getting to my questions and pictures I had posted about the float test. I still have six eggs from the 3/21 scheduled hatch and I am not giving up on them, just trusting my gut. they are 4 days overdue but I was having trouble getting the temp right since it was a borrowed bator .. it was 92 for the first 6 days and on day 6 I got it up to 99.5 so I am giving them until Sunday before I toss them. they are in their own bator so they will not hurt anything if, God forbid, one explodes. I did to a float test and got great results (based on the awesome article I found on this site ...... but several folks have indicated that those aren't accurate and I should just throw the 6 away..... my gut tells me to give it to sunday.. maybe I am a softie but the 'float test post" was so well written and had a LOT of similar responses and I followed it to a T .. and I know there are LOTS of opinions... I am too new to have an opnion so in this case I just go with my gut...
I have another 25 eggs that are on day 18 so we will be candling tonight.. I have learned so much from these threads and I am SO THANKFUL to everyone for the information they have shared.. I hope this batch nets with better results, temps and humidity have been spot on so I am hopeful. I am loving it so much I asked for two bators as birthday gifts, so with the two borrowed ones I have and the two new ones I should have a fun Spring/Summer!
Things are really moving now.....10 hatched, 9 pips!!!!
very nice!
