This is not about Human Pregnancy (lol)but, When I was pregnant I found that having a support team of people due the same time as me was great for everything. Some of those ladies and myself are still friends 9 years later. I wanted to find out if anyone here is due between these dates for incubating if we can share the struggle. I lost my first batch, only had two make it past week 2 and they died before hatch. This time I'd like to know what others have going on too. Right now I have 11 chicken eggs that will be Legbar, Rhode Island/Barred mix, Barred Rock, Buff/Rock, and Australorp/Rock. And 3 duck eggs which I don't know if my Cayuga hens or my Pekin hen laid those. I'm gonna say Pekin bc she is older. I already lost one two days in. So, 3 left and I'm leaving the other 2 outside to see if they become broody. Im only using an LG incubator with auto turner and accurite thermometer. I haven't candled these half as much as the ones before lol. I'm trying to let them be this time. I learned my lesson. I also have 15 more eggs outside I have a Red and a brown leghorn sitting on them but, they still seem to get up a little too much out of their henhouse.
Have you candled the ones in your incubator yet?
And three more in eggs (one internally pipped right now) that are definitely alive. I will post pictures of the hatched ones soon. Their ages range from 4 hours to 10 days old!
