JANUARY HATCH-A-LONG come join in

[Kerjack]

So I candled again last night and seen some definite veining in all of them!! Even the one I thought was a goner, it now has an air cell and everything. Still not as dark as I thought they would be for day 15. So I'm not going to get my hopes up. But yeah, kinda getting excited.

Well… I needed to add some more water and another water source in the bottom of my bator cause I have had a time keeping humidity up. Lockdown is going to be tricky. I just couldn’t help myself.

I did a spot candle of 27 eggs… 20 of which are looking great! Of course I am just on day 5. I just had to share the news, I couldn’t wait any longer and since I was already in there… well you get the idea. Now I need to just sit on my hands to day 10 before I candle them all and mark the “iffy’s and clears”.

Yessssss! Sit on your hands, it's the hardest thing to do.

hcammack: I have a mental picture of you standing with your arms out, like a T. You have chicks all lined up on both arms, on top of your head, in your shirt & pants pockets, also they're standing on both of your shoes. They are all looking at you in admiration of their "flock master." You're on a roll, good luck! What are you using for candling?

Just a regular old yellow flashlight. I am really hoping I end up with lots of little chicks. I think the flackmaster title is hilarious I didn't notice until one day I left BYC up and my brother called me flock master the next morning

Well because you said I was on a role I candled my questionable eggs agian just to see. Well I actually don't have 37/42 developing I have 42/42!!!! 100% of the eggs in my bator are developing at day 3 and 4! If it stays like this I am going to have lots of chicks
