[lgrant1]

Just set 18 black Jersey Giants! Hope these do well (fingers crossed) One may be damaged from shipping. Looks like the yolk may be floating a little too freely.

I set eggs - my first hatch ever! - on 12/30, so we're going into lockdown tomorrow. 11 bantam buff cochin and one lone LF Lt. Brahma. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Good Luck!!

Don't turn them for a few days. It may help the yolks to settle.

Thanks, I have them in the turner but I didn't plan to plug it up for a few days to make sure everything has settle.

I candeled my eggs last night, and I'm confused! Looks like all of them have air cell @ the wrong end??? Unless I am not seeing things right- the round or big end of the egg is where I saw chicks developing, and at the pointed end you can just see light going through- like the air cell looks. How can that happen with all of them? It's been years since I incubated eggs, but I don't remembr seeing this b4. Has this happened to anyone else? Any advise on what I should do- This is so upsetting!

What day are you on?

Brooks I'm on day 10 with them. I did read something her on BYC that says is you candle from the bottom (pointed) end of the egg that it looks like mine are looking now. I am wondering if that is it- the eggs I was incubating last month I candeled from the side because that was how they laid in the bator & I didn't want to disturb them too much. I am using a different bator with these and they sit upright- which is why I candle from the bottom.

thank you!

Oh yea, I almost forgot... I got in my Isbar eggs this morning!

I hope these do well, this is the 2nd time I'm going to try with them. The last I ordered none developed, so the lady sent me 7 more

So now that's Isbars, Silkies & Lav Orps all in the bator
