January Hatch-a-long 2018

Day 21 and still nothing from under the broody. It is getting really cold so I don't know if I should move the eggs into my bator as the winds really strong today and coop is really open. What should I do? Would it be ok moving the other eggs to the bator?

 

[gimmie birdies]

Heat it up!

 

[elizabethu42]

How?

 

[elizabethu42]

Can I move them to the bator?

Can I move them to the bator?

I would. Have you prepared your bator?

#7 an English silverlaced orpington hatched... 2 unhatched but moving in air cell. Oh and day 23 just started. It has been a long time since lock down. I will not start a lock down till day 19 next time... 19,20,21 see 3 days before the hatch. 2 power outages, unsteady temp readings, eggs bought and delivered in the coldest time of the year, so many clears, because of lack of daylight, I am lucky to have any birds at this point.

Yes. It's day 21 so would it be ok to move them

If you do it, then move quick, as like you said it's cold up there, and you don't want them too cold from the distance of where they are at to where your bator is when you put them in there.

Is it ok to leave them?

I'll see if any have hatched tomorrow and if none have hatched then I'll move the rest of the eggs to the bator.
