INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Sally Sunshine]

Yes. I candled them to see if anything was going on and to make sure if they had an internal pip to have that part up(two chicks scattered everything). Didn't see anything except a dark, unmoving mass.

Does this mean they could of quit?

Tomorrow is still day 21 we will see.

did they draw down at all or lift in the back?

Hm, I don't think so? I need new flashlight batteries.

SallySunshine - it was the post that listed what everyone was incubating and hatch dates. Along with those who are along for the ride

Oh, so sorry! That baby right there, will love you like you are mama, or sibling.

On shipped eggs, I've had some bad hatches too. I've had so many shipped, that I have found what area is good to buy from, for them coming my way. This last hatch went great! Had 26 eggs hatch out of 29 that went into lock down. She shipped 34. So not bad at all. I've had worse luck with the smaller eggs of course, but found a gal that has silkies in MO. and that works great. Her eggs come to me in pretty good shape. The air sacs are usually really good. I'm in Utah, and I know NOT to buy in certain parts of the eastern coast. GA is ok, PA. isn't. Or any of those up north east. I love getting them from mid west, and of course California is close. Washington is good, Oregon isn't. Go figure. Texas and AR. is ok. Like I said, I just found out. You may not want to keep trying different places. But, if you try some place close by, other than the place you just bought from, you may be pleasantly surprised!

Thank you. I had to go and get her some friends, lol. I now have 2 Buff Orpinton in with her and the house is quiet, lol. The BO's are about a day or two ahead of her but she sure is showing them who the boss is.

This is good to know. If I can't find the breeds I want local I am sure I will try shipped eggs again next year. I will stay away from NE. Hope to stay in Texas but find different shippers.

I'm sorry to hear about your hatch. I was really rooting for those babies.

Thank you so much.

Oh no! So sorry to hear that :-( I'm glad you have Tootie though. Sounds like she's turning out to be pretty special

Thank you. OMG she's a hoot. I had to go get her some friends today, lol.

My OH moves things on me... I lose everything, lol...

O my gosh... I have the same problem here. When I ask him he's like I didn't touch it

There are only the two of us and I know the dogs didn't do it.

How do u tell a roo from a hen

Well.... just today I learned something, lol... take it how you want to but.... I went to the feed store to buy Tootie some friends. I was told the whole bunch was female before I got there. When I got there the lady held a key tied to a string over their head. It started turning in circles, she said FEMALE. I couldn't stop laughing and I told her I have never heard of such. She then held it over the under side of her wrist... it started turning. I'm going to try it on my DH when he gets home just to see what happens, lol.
