I am too... 10 Welsummer, 8 Blk Ameracauna, 2 Barnevelder, 2 Lav Orps, 3 Olive eggers. I hope I am hatching the 13th. This is my first incubator hatch. We'll see. Lockdown yesterday... Best wishes to all.

Quick little ones!

Yep, I actually had five yesterday and that was day twenty. Things should really start popping today.

We locked down last night at midnight and candled. Out of 23 eggs in the bator, 1 of the barnies looks like it may be a little behind, and two of the BCMs are just plain old too dark to see into, but 20 are 100% good to go with chicks inside... whether or not they survive hatching remains to be seen! We also had a bator failure 36 hours into incubation and had to scramble to get another bator (thank you, Linda, you're a goddess, you know). Otherwise, we would have gone into lockdown early yesterday morning, or if we re-started from scratch after the incubator failed, lockdown would have happened this afternoon--we split the difference and locked down last night at midnight since I don't think any of the eggs were compromised & they had already been in there for a day and a half.

Our last hatch, we only got 4 out of 11, and only 2 of those survived. We are using a different incubator this time and hoping for a better hatch rate.
