January Hatch Buddies?

[Seeing Silkies]

I am in, I have 8 Lavender orpington eggs in LOCK down, Due any time tomorrow... I am a little worried with these eggs. They are shipped eggs started out with 12, 1 was clear 3 stoped growing in the 1st week

so I have 8 that have grown well But the do have odd shaped air sacks. So I am watching them like a halk, well i do that with every batch LOL.. has anyone seen that in there shipped eggs?

I will have more hatching at the end of the month ( I put them in yesterday ) to I have bin bitten by the chicken bug

Thank You

Hatching out last chick from the 6th. One left from the 7th to hatch. I will move 8 eggs from the 12 to hatching area on the 29 of this month. So far it looks like Aussies.

My genesis arrived on Christmas Eve and I need to get it set up. I'm saving up my fertilized Barnevelder eggs to try for my first incubated hatch. Does anyone know how full the incubator needs to be before it is run?

In my meantime my Silkie is sitting on 10 eggs that I expect to hatch out sometime this week. I've moved her into my bathroom so that the chicks will be safe from the roosters. This is first hatch from a broody hen and I am super excited!

Congrats on your eggs. I can't wait until day 10 to see what I have. If it were me I might wait until day 14 or 18 on the clear ones as long as they don't smell or ooze and toss them before lockdown. Sometimes it is hard to see through some of the eggshells. Hopefully someone with more experience will have some input though.

Well, dunno if I'm a good example to follow, but even though I candle on day 10, I put all eggs right back into the incubator. I don't trust my candling skills all that much; I'm just glad to see any development! I discard the obvious duds at lockdown, day 18.

I just got my bator today so I will be setting some eggs as soon as I have it figured out. I also have 7 eggs at a friends house that are due to hatch next Thurs.
