Marie I just had to go look up what an Ayam Cemani was! They are gorgeous!!!

Hopefully my Araucanas are just as nice!

These eggs are in a new incubator so we will see if it has been cold or hot or dry or wet or whatever, it seems to be running very similar to our first one although goes through water heaps faster, I think last hatch I topped up water twice for the 18 days, this time I am topping it up daily as it is dry.

Thanks, the Ayam Cemanis were a gift from my boyfriend. I'm feeling a lot of pressure/anxiety, however, because they ended up being rather expensive! I'm a sucker for colored eggs though, and Araucanas and Ameraucanas are still my favorite breeds. Shhh, don't tell him!

What kind of new incubator did you get? Don't do what I did and just trust one additional monitor. Upon testing it against five, it was clearly running too low...hence my current late hatch.

I hope everything goes wonderfully for you! I want to see more chick pics!
 
Right so number 4 hatched fine by him/her self but the fifth got stuck and wasn't moving so i had to assist,he is now very weak but i think hes doing fine, I will just go and take some pictures of them two that are still in the incubator drying off and getting fluffy tonight ready to go in the brooder with the other three that hatched earlier and are in the brooder thats in the shed (Its night time here) so first thing tomorrow morning i will get pictures of them!! Soo happy aha i just hope the little guy makes it through the night :)

Ohh I did an eggtopsy and number six sadly stopped growing on about day 18 i would say.

I never realised how messy hatching would be, gosh that incubator is going to need scrubbing after that mess ahaha

So do you have five fuzzy little babies now, Jack? That is soooo awesome. I was worried for you in the beginning after the shipping adventure with the eggs. I am SO happy that you are having success! Lookin' forward to the pictures!
 







They are both RIR and the slightly less fluffy one is the assisted but now it looks so much more lively YAY

Sorry the pictures are so small i'm not sure what happened i will get some better ones tomorrow!

None... =( I candled again, anxiously.... SOOO much movement! But no internal pips. My temps must have been running REAL low... no wonder so many early deaths >_> Live and learn, I guess. I'll be home alone ALL DAY LONG tomorrow with my eyes on the incubator!!!

I LOVE YOUR NeW PROFILE PIC!!!
