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!!!

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.

[COLOR=000000]S5apiotrowski[/COLOR] 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.

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.

[COLOR=000000]butterfliesdoku[/COLOR] 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?

[COLOR=000000]TrilliumAcres [/COLOR] 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? [COLOR=000000]Meaghan[/COLOR] 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. [COLOR=000000]bauerdog[/COLOR] 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 [COLOR=000000]Akrnaf2 aka Benny[/COLOR] Sal. Count me in!
