My sizzle eggs from Sheri Minkner go on lockdown today!!!!!! Candled last on day 16 (just cause it was driving me crazy!) and still saw def movement in 10!!! 1 I'm pretty sure had quit, and 1 looked good, just didn't see movement ATM. Fingers crossed!!!!! I'd be happy with 4!!!!

Alright good luck with your hatch

Sorry guys I have been so busy I can't keep up here. I have Sapphires..... I am going to break the pen up soon for a bit. I need to do some test mating and see what girls is laying the sex linked chicks..... I need her for another project LOL. Now I am getting about 4 eggs a day. I am moving birds tomorrow and will starting checking who is laying what eggs. Pretty sure it is just one girl but the others are going into my exchequer pen for a bit.

Hi! I'm trying to get a few blue egg layers, just for the pretty colorfulness in my egg basket.

I have a Cochin Bantam pullet who should give me sex-linked chicks. She's barred and my roo is black. So excited for her to start laying!!!
PM me, if you want. Maybe we can trade.

Out of the 4 due tomorrow I have 1 hatched, 1 half out, 1 pipped and 1 that hasn't done anything yet... I can see that one looks black/grey and one is golden colored! They are all mixed eggs. I'll post pictures when they are all cute and fluffy!

Yay!

Same here....shipped eggs seem to add a twist when you are dealing with wonky air cells!

lol @ "sign me up for this hatch rate"
Me too!!!

I got lemon cuckoo Orpingtons' from farmer boy. I let them rest a day and a half before setting. I have a ice cream shop for the summer and people buy my chicks and hens all summer.

I want an ice cream shop too!!! =)

My lst dry hatch coming out tonight,popping out like popcorn in there. Black copper marans and new Hampshires. I've hatched eggs for over 40 years and this is the first time I didn't put water in on day one. I'm impressed with how they are hatching.

Sounds like you followed the instructions to the (T) good job and I bet it felt a little funny at first doing a dry hatch .....


So put up some pictures later of your new additions

I have 7 QUAIL! They weren't supposed to hatch until Friday. I was moving the 4 chicken chicks (one week old) to the larger brooder and was going to clean the aquarium hatcher/brooder out for the quail hatching on Friday. I heard peeping coming from the incubator and I already had 3 with more zipping! They had jumped down from the turner! I quickly put the two egg trays on the floor of the 'bator. These are Cortunix of mixed colors. One is yellow, 3 are dark with light faces and bellies (tuxedos I'm guessing) and 2 are yellow and black striped. The 19 bob eggs don't show signs of hatching yet but I wasn't expecting them before Saturday. That leaves about 15 Cortunix eggs left.

This one has a leg that seems odd but it is determined to get around with the others. It was one that jumped from the turner rack. I tried putting it in a tea cup but it managed to get out. I put paper towels down under them in the 'bator since I don't have the aquarium fixed up with a light yet because (of course) the bulb blew and the lamp uses a weird sized 40W bulb. Maybe I can find my art table lamp on the swing boom.

I am thinning my breeds down so I can't take on any new breeds. I moved those hens today. I am testing them to find one that seems to produce sex links. I need her for a project. I also just moved 5 new WL and I will be moving them in with my Lavender Am soon to make more SBEL. I am having to move the CCL to a smaller pen inside to see if I can improve laying.... well get them to lay LOL. It will be a week or so before I will have eggs again. I might have some now if you want. I will PM you.
