Jan./Feb. 2014 hatch a long

[JDchicks]

First one is finally zipping.
Second one has finally pipped.

Is it cheating by saying I may get 100% hatch rate for the first time when I only have two eggs?

So exciting hearing about all your hatches! Mine are only on day 10...it seems like it's been much longer than that! I guess I'll look at it as being halfway done instead of "only" ten days in! So it seems I've heard some of you mentioning staggering hatches, like you added more eggs to the bator as you went along. Did I read that right? How does lockdown work? Do you just not turn the younger eggs for a couple days? How about the increased humidity?

Because I only have one laying hen due to a coyote, I'm trying to hatch as many as I can. I'd like to add more eggs every 10 days or so but I only have one incubator. Ideas?

I have a diff hatch going on day 18/16 and candled some of my 18 look to be behind- I combined them with my day 16 and the advanced day 18 in a separate incubator.

day 7 candle Faverolles.. 1 red ring, can see veins in the other 8 (set 9). I saw movement in 3 of them!

for my blrw's day 7 candle, 13 were developing and 15 were clear, but I'm hoping they're just slow! 2 weeks seems very far away
