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

[Sally Sunshine]

Anywho the hatch drags on. Still just the one out. All of the small eggs are pipped but the bigger eggs have not. Looks like this one may actually turn into a 3 day hatch

Alright I guess it's time to go glue the nose back to the bator window...

YOU GO campin!!!! SWEEETTTTTTNESSS

Oh, I could "live" with it myself; I was thinking about your back, but then I'm a good many years older than you, and don't bend quite as easily as I did once upon a time.

I figure I won't move at all when I get older as hard as I push.

I was candling eggs before putting them in lockdown a few minutes ago, and I found this. This is one of my own eggs, so it's not some weird thing from shipping. There's a small hole in the shell in the air cell area. As far as I can tell, the chick inside is fully developed, but I have no idea how it's going to hatch.

Edit: The air cell is completely on the side of the egg if you can't tell from the picture.

That's weird but I would put hat egg on the other side of the incubator so u can tell which one it is to know which one it is so when it hatches it will be able to help it and know which chick it is or just mark the egg

I am getting excited for the Easter hatch-a-long! I will be setting some Black Penedesenca eggs! (and referring back here as well as the "official" HAL thread in the hopes of having a great hatch!)

Now I need to get up from the computer and go start shoveling snow off the driveway. I'm suppose to go pick up Girl Scout cookies today & my daughter has to work this evening. Stay warm warm

have you read the timelines for each stages chaos posted for you? @billiejw89

Yes, I was able to get the air cell off and it hatched quickly! Our other pip hatched just before the bus arrived so the kiddos got to watch, they loved it. 4 eggs still remain, no pips. Day 21 officially starts after dinner today.

I'll definitely mark the air cell. I meant to do it earlier, but I completely spaced out. Hopefully it'll make it even if it needs some help.

Just got a call from the post office and they have eggs ready for me to pick up. Wasn't expecting them until fri and had planned to hold them for the EHAL. Need to head back to the first post and look at storage options and decided what is gonna work best.
