January Hatch-a-long 2018

[UThobbyfarmer]

First time setting eggs. Hope we have a good hatch. Cuckoo Maran cockerel over Crested Cream Legbar; CCL/welbar; Star Red; Welsummer; Golden wyandotte; Cuckoo Maran. Witnessed the little Black Silkie cockerel on top of the White Crested Black Polish. Interested in when they end up looking like.

Those are beautiful eggs.

I just candled my first batch of cream legbars 18/19 are fertile and developing. Many of them have misshapen air cells from shipping, but I'm doing everything I can and so far so good My silkie eggs should be here tomorrow. I'll be hatching in a separate incubator due to my staggered hatch this time.

That's fantastic news!

I'd love to join in! I had to do an emergency hatch after half my flock got taken out today is day 14 and after removing 2 more duds I've got 22 eggs in the bator developing well! They should be hatching in around a week! My cream legbar is the daddy to all so hopefully most have cute little crests! Hoping for mostly little females of course

I just wanted to say hi and that this is my first time incubating and also these are shipped eggs. What a great combo am I right?so I have some black copper marans, cockoo marans, blue copper marans, splash copper marans, silkies, olive eggers, and blue laced red Wyandottes hopefully. I have the temp to 99 and the humidity is at 37-40. They were sitting out for 24 hours with none being cracked and now are in. Wish me luck any tips are needed and appreciated. Oh and I am planning to not turn or tilt them for the first couple of days.

The air cells were in tact and also detached and also saddled

Noooo! That's terrible. Can't say I've never done it myself. But that probably doesn't make you feel any better.

You'll do great. Incubating is always a bit tricky even if you know what you're doing. Still figuring it all out myself.
