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

All I want to do today is sit on my couch with a fire in the fireplace and catch up with all y'all. Snow was on the ground this morning. I have to address quite a few family issues right now (sick kids, and getting my dad to a funeral for his sister). I'm stressed, but it will all work out.
MacGyver Bator update: I have one thermometer calibrated so I will compare it to the others. Next tests will be humidity holding and turning eggs instead of golf balls, and I will do those tonight.

Snow in NY...that's too danged close! Keep it up there, if you don't mind.

I was just thinking, I wonder what a sultan \ EE will look like! Maybe crested? Any guesses?

maybe a blue egg laying sultan with yellow on its featheres?

(Hey, there should be a guess that cross thread!)

no clue!

I'll try to hold on to it.

Everything is pretty upside down on our side of the Atlantic. Husband considered sending me home to Texas and he's talking about possibly getting a firearm. Pray for Paris and pray for Europe.

My heart goes out to everyone over there. So very sad and scary. Definitely praying for Paris and Europe. ♡

As far as my update goes:

Of the 10 Araucanas, 6 are developing!  I marked their cells and left them be. 3 were clears, 1 was an early quitter.

Of the Marans eggs, 4 I could see definite veining, the rest were too dark to see w/o meddling too much. Put them on the turner tonight.

Also, all of 5 min after putting the 3 in lockdown, boy were they a rockin'! 

Good to hear, thanks for keeping us updated

Just a little update - Day 20 here. VERY quickly checked the three silkie eggs; all chicks alive but no internal pips yet. Guess I'll be sat next to the bater ALL weekend, ears alert for that first squeak! 

Hope all goes well. Send pics when they hatch.

I hope to work on my winter water system today and get some leaves raked into the runs for the birds.

FYI, that 104 gram chicken egg was just a double-yolk (I thought it might be a triple) but the 2 yolks were huge!

Just subscribed! Love the thread, great to know there are so many other hatchaholics out there. On day 20 of a hatch of 12 Americana /Easter eggers, one healthy escapee and two more pipping this morning!
